“classroom” education.IntroductionIt has been noted that service-learning is recognized by students and faculty as a “valuablepedagogical tool”4; however, the existing data supporting this claim are primarily qualitative.This paper presents a more quantitative assessment to demonstrate the benefits of PBSL bycollecting and systematically organizing data that supports the theoretical basis of this form ofexperiential education. Reaching this goal entails implementation of innovative measurementtechniques that provide quantifiable justification of service-learning benefits. Theinstrumentation used in evaluation is based on the “triarchic theory”5, prescribed by Sternbergand other well known researchers in fields of education and cognitive
