Researching the Study Abroad Experience
McLeod, Mark; Wainwright, Philip
Journal of Studies in International Education, v13 n1 p66-71 2009
The authors propose a paradigm for rigorous scientific assessment of study abroad programs, with the focus being on how study abroad experiences affect psychological constructs as opposed to looking solely at study-abroad-related outcomes. Social learning theory is used as a possible theoretical basis for making testable hypotheses and guiding potential research projects.
