- Abstract
The article describes the integration of service learning in a community-immersion model of pre-service science-teacher preparation in the Philippines. Community immersion is aimed at providing a true-to-life and empowering opportunity for prospective science teachers to become active participants in community life through field and service-learning experiences. The three major phases of community immersion are preparation, community stay and summative assessment and celebration. The elements used in the development of a model of community immersion in pre-service science-teacher preparation include the formation of learning communities, trust-building activities, multistake collaboration, rapid community assessment and action research.
