Outcomes for Underrepresented and Misrepresented College Students in Service-Learning Classes: Supporting Agents of Change
Langhout, Regina Day; Gordon, David L.
Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, v14 n3 p408-417 Sep 2021
When college-based service learning is examined, outcomes are often analyzed in a univariate framework, and participants tend to be White and middle class (if demographic information is given). This examination is a survey of 198 students who were primarily underrepresented and misrepresented students attending a Hispanic Serving Institution. The goal was to discern the relationships among service learning, social insights, academics, personal insights, and civic responsibility within a multivariate framework that synthesized literatures regarding how underrepresented and misrepresented college students define their own success, and the development of civic engagement for similarly situated youth. Through path analytic modeling techniques, four models were assessed. In the retained model, social insights play a pivotal role, mediating the relation between service learning and academic outcomes, personal insights, and civic responsibility, with academic outcomes and personal insights also mediating the relation between social insights and personal responsibility.
