EFFECT OF SERVICE-LEARNING ON COLLEGE-STUDENTS ATTITUDES TOWARD INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING

This effect of an intensive 2-year service-learning program on student s' attitudes toward international understanding was assessed. A nonequ ivalent control group experiment was conducted with students from a la rge, Western state university. The results of the multivariate analysi s generally supported the hypothesis that students who are involved in service-learning show larger increases in international understanding than students involved in voluntarism or no service.
