Abstract
Service learning and student-faculty interactions are individually important in the role of overall academic achievement of students. In this study, data from the 2004 and 2006 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) at Washington State University were analyzed to determine the factors comprising service learning and student-faculty interactions, to provide empirical evidence of the relationship between the two constructs, and to determine whether service learning can predict student-faculty interactions. Results demonstrated that service learning is comprised of two dimensions and student-faculty interactions is comprised of one dimension. In addition, a linear relationship was found to exist between the two constructs, with service learning explaining 20.1 percent of the variance for student-faculty interactions. Given the role service learning and student-faculty interactions play in student academic achievement and success, the results of this study have implications for future research and practice.
