Abstract:
A total of 226 undergraduate students enrolled in undergraduate psychology courses that utilize practicum/internship and service-learning as primary instructional methods took part in the study. Interns improved their understanding of the integration of diversity content in the course, awareness of gender and racial inequality, and general empathy from the beginning to the end of the practicum/internship program. Interns also had higher ratings of ethnocultural awareness and lower ratings for interpersonal engagement and civic responsibility compared to service-learners from the beginning to the end of the semester. Implications for infusing service-based pedagogies in beginning, middle, and ending psychology courses are discussed.
