International Service Learning’s Effects on Global Citizenship

Abstract
As the world shifts towards and more global society. A growing understanding in the value of global citizenship, global mindedness, and civic engagement is paramount. Universities have long valued study abroad and internationalization programs, but international service-learning (ISL) can exceed both programs. With the addition of an international component, service-learning can generate a better opportunity to create global citizenry in undergraduate students than internationalization or study abroad programs This quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test design study is to compare global citizenship in an undergraduate population. Results will be used to determine whether the ISL students have significantly higher global citizenship scale (GCS) scores than the comparison group of students. This research will add to the literature to fill gaps in GCS knowledge. This way universities and ISL providers will have a clearer picture of what undergraduate students' needs are for global citizenship and how universities can better prepare undergraduates for the global future.
