and adaptation agency was
applied that resulted in
quantitative, qualitative,
theoretic, and participative
research orientations.
The study used a 32-item
questionnaire based on
Reunamo’s general model of
agentive perception to reveal
the degree to which the
researchers are
accommodating their thoughts
and actions to real
phenomena. It was
administered to 83 ESD
researchers, mainly from
European countries. The
primary findings revealed the
desire of ESD researchers to
contribute to societal
development.

activity describe the first

opening up to the requisites
and possibilities of
environmental change. The
highlights of the second
continuum revealed that
research as a knowledge
resource for just political or
individual choices and the
direct application of the
models are actions for needed
change. The research was
delimited to create a
worldwide reliable register of
ESD researchers; hence, the
authors used the opportunity
sample of ESD researchers
available. The practical
implications of the model, after
adjustments, appeared to be a
promising tool in the study of
research orientations.
The paper can be used as a
supplementary research tool
as a springboard because it
shows the possibilities of the
agentive perception model in
the case of ESD researchers.
Simply saying, every
researcher needs to be aware
of their preferences and
orientations in studying
complex and controversial
subjects such as sustainable
development.

This study is about service

learning as a method of
teaching in higher education to
bring about global citizenship
and promote social justice
through local placements.
The study used multi-sited
ethnography to understand the
construction of civic identity
and a sense of agency to
 examine the teaching-learning
process of service-learning
among study participants and
also approached within the
larger context of social justice.
The participants of this study
include students taking part in
service-learning efforts for
literacy and maternal health
from Miriam College and
Ateneo de Manila University,
respectively. Observation
notes during classroom and
field visits, entries from
reflection journals of students,
and verbatim transcripts from
semi-structured interviews are
the data gathering and
analysis tools. The findings
suggest that explicit and
deliberate emphasis on social
justice is imperative when a
critical understanding of global
citizenship from service
learning. The study made the
participants recognize how
they will continue to benefit
from their privilege at the
expense of the marginalized
and disenfranchised. The
students were also guided to
understand the socio-economic
and political realities of those
in their respective service-
learning communities and
further examine their
previously held assumptions
about poverty.
Furthermore, the study
showed that relationships
formed with those from the
community helped the
students gain a sense of
agency to act on the root
causes of social problems in
simple ways through their
chosen discipline. Findings on
theoretical and practical
contributions to service
learning for global citizenship
education contribute to the
growing literature on this
subject area.
