Diverse World

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect on the development of participant students through Global Service-Learning (GS-L) as global citizens in this diverse world. In multi-cultural and multi-racial contries people has good ways to live in harmony with others different. In Korea, they live in unity with one rational background and with the only one language. The GS-L in Malaysia allowed nine Korean students to have more involved in Malaysian real lives through homestay and cultural exchange program. This cultural exchange program contributed to the better global citizenship education which is considered very important in this global village, adding another exotic nutrient to Korean substantial culture. The experiences in Malaysia enable students to find ways to solve various problems and conflicts with differences as Korea is becoming more and more multi-cultural society.

Engineering Projects

A major goal in Engineering training in the U.S. is to continue to both grow and diversify the field. Project- and service-based forms of experiential, problem-based learning are often implemented with this as a goal, and Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) High is one of the more well-regarded and widely implemented. Yet, the evidence based on if and how participation in such programs shapes student intentions and commitment to STEM pathways is currently limited, most especially for pre-college programming. This study asks: How do high school students’ engineering mindsets and their views of engineering/engineers change as they participate in project–service learning (as implemented through an EPICS High curriculum)? This study employed a mixed method design, combining pre- and post-test survey data that were collected from 259 matched students (63% minority, 43% women) enrolling in EPICS High (total of 536 completed pre-tests, 375 completed post-tests) alongside systematic ethnographic analysis of participant observation data conducted in the same 13 socioeconomically diverse schools over a two-year period. Statistical analyses showed that participants score highly on engineering-related concepts and attitudes at both pre- and post-test. These did not change significantly as a result of participation. However, we detected nuanced but potentially important changes in student perspectives and meaning, such as shifting perceptions of engineering and gaining key transversal skills. The value of participation to participants was connected to changes in the meaning of commitments to pursue engineering/STEM.
