Make Sure the Cherokees Are Not Removed . . . Again: A Study of Service-Learning and Artful Learning in Teaching History
Alice W. Terry and Thomas Panter Bringing history alive in one Southern, suburban middle school, this application of community-action
service-learning and Artful Learning is chronicled from inception to conclusion. This qualitative participatory action research
study explored the effects of this program on 8th-grade gifted students. The purpose of the study was to examine one specific,
successful program involving gifted students in a Learn and Serve America grant project site in reference to the service-learning
and Artful Learning Models. The results showed improved achievement and suggested enhanced metacognition, self-efficacy, and
altruism. The students were actively involved in their own learning, eventually making a difference in their community.
