Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Higher Education (Education).
Qualitative research that involved the study of participants on a two-week international service learning (ISL) program in Honduras identified six foundational elements (guided critical processing, international border crossing, reciprocal connections and personalizing, group dynamic, non-service activities, and related service project), and found significant connections between those elements and particular learning outcomes and impacts on participants. These findings provided the theoretical basis for a new International Service Learning Group Model for practitioners. Also, findings revealed six factors (leader qualities, service oriented, faculty mentoring, financial assistance, peer recommendation, and connection to area of study) that contributed to students choosing to participate on the ISL program.
