520 $a In addition, the results provide some support for the hypothesis that substantial attitude change occurs when a service-learning program is not only intensive, but also extensive.
520 $a Many scholars and educators believe that higher education must be reformed. These reform-minded educators believe that an undergraduate education should better prepare young adults for life in a: (a) democratic society, (b) interdependent global "village," and (c) multicultural society.
520 $a This study examines the effect of a comprehensive service-learning program on college students' attitudes toward civic responsibility, international understanding, and racial prejudice. Included in the study is an examination of the practical, theoretical, and empirical issues of service-learning. The particular service-learning program that is examined is the University of Colorado's International and National Voluntary Service Training (INVST) program.
520 $a To analyze the INVST program, I use a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The students from the INVST class of 1993 and 1994 compose the experimental group. Students from the University's Volunteer Clearing House compose one control group, while randomly selected students from the general university population compose the other control group.
520 $a The results of the data analysis generally support the three hypotheses of the study. First, the hypothesis that the service-learning students will show larger increases in international understanding than the no service and service no learning students has been supported. The changes between the experimental and the control groups are moderate to strong for global concern, moderate for divergent global concern, negligible for cultural interest, and moderate to strong for cultural respect.
520 $a Second, the hypothesis that the service-learning students will show larger increases in civic responsibility than the no service and service no learning students has been supported. The changes between the experimental and the control groups are strong for civic responsibility and very strong for both locus of control-societal and civic responsibility-behavior.
520 $a Third, the hypothesis that the service-learning students will show larger decreases in racial prejudice than the no service and service no learning students has been supported. The changes between the experimental and the control groups are moderate to strong.
