Abstract
Within the fields of kinesiology and physical education teacher education, there is a growing number of courses and curricula that utilize service-learning as a pedagogical strategy. However, these courses and curricula are often constructed, implemented, and evaluated without a strong framework based on literature in the field, which has led to questions about whether we are maximizing the benefits to participating students, faculty, institutions, and community partners and members. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it presents a framework that was developed based on literature in the field of service-learning to provide a foundation for maximizing the benefits to all individuals involved. Second, it describes a specific physical activity program that serves as the community-service component for a university-based service-learning course. Detailed descriptions of the practical strategies implemented by the university professor are included, along with how the course addresses each component of the framework.
