Abstract
Civic responsibility is an important element of democratic and social participation. The existing studies on servicelearning 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 servicelearning 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.
