Abstract
Abstract
Civic engagement offers students transformational opportunities to experience ‘real world learning’. This chapter identifies key principles of critical community-based learning that emerge from appraisal of different histories and paradigms of learning through civic engagement. It presents changing drivers to community-based learning from local to global, including newer imperatives of learning for sustainability, citizenship education and building resilience. It explores pedagogies that form a nexus around community-based learning—building on understandings of different forms of knowledge, through transformative learning to learning for citizenship. It concludes by reflecting on the means by which radical real world learning through civic engagement can advance and thrive.
