Abstract for the conference program
Project FOCUS is a service-learning course created 10 years ago at the University of Georgia that partners undergraduate science students with K-5 teachers to enhance science instruction. Survey research examines the long-term affects of service-learning participation on civic engagement behaviors and beliefs of FOCUS alumni compared to science majors who did not take this service-learning course.
