Abstract
Civic responsibility is an important element of democratic and social participation. The existing studies on service_x0002_learning have examined civic responsibility as a single construct which further delimits its theoretical applications. However, civic responsibility is a multidimensional construct. This study examines the relationship of service_x0002_learning with civic responsibility as a multidimensional construct having four dimensions: civic skills, civic knowledge, civic values and civic commitment. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 395 students from vocational training institutes of Pakistan. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling through AMOS version 21. The results showed a positive relationship between service-learning and civic responsibility of students and all its four aspects. Based on the results, it is concluded that service-learning has improved civic responsibility of students in vocational training institutes of Pakistan. It is suggested that future studies should further test the results of this study in other cultural contexts.
