Abstract
Institutions that are interested in citizenship education are usually interested in Service-Learning. Additionally, those interested in Service-Learning are increasingly noting the importance of the specific learning objective: Social Justice. Few have undertaken a quantitative study of Social Justice Orientation as a learning outcome, and yet many have suggested it as a key outcome in Service-Learning experiences. This study seeks a more holistic understanding of Social Justice education with the expressed purpose of developing an instrument for the measurement of Social Justice Orientation as a Service-Learning outcome. Findings confirm our understanding that Service-Learning truly has the potential to elicit significant development toward such ends, but also suggest that measuring Social Justice Orientation may be more difficult than originally thought.
