ABSTRACT
This paper considers the possible effects for learners and for civil society of our
greater use in colleges and universities of engaged forms of learning (including service-learning, community-based research, and models actively involving students in the application of ideas or theory to civic practices and contexts). We present a description of an actual pedagogical example drawn from the teaching of introductory political science. The paper offers a theoretical basis for why such pedagogies should be encouraged and valued, and in doing so suggests why engaged learning could be a contributing factor in the development of preventative or interventive strategies to address forms of depression and abusive uses of alcohol and drugs among college-age students.

an actual pedagogical example drawn from the teaching of introductory political science.
The paper offers a theoretical basis for why such pedagogies should be encouraged and

and abusive uses of alcohol and drugs among college-age students.
