Education Pedagogy Teacher Education Teaching service-learning student development global citizenship mentoring environment teacher education This case study of a global service-learning program in Thailand aims to better understand how service-learning can provide a relevant and effective mentoring environment for fostering global citizenship, an increasingly widespread goal of higher education institutions. This study draws individually from the disciplines of higher education and international development as well as from the intersection of these fields as they manifest in the pedagogy, philosophy, and practice of global service-learning and global citizenship development.Studies shows that service-learning can contribute to student development but little is currently known about how the service-learning context serves as a mentoring environment for students. The construct of the mentoring environment is drawn from Parks (2000; 2011) concept of mentoring communities, which she describes as providing the gifts of recognition, challenge, support and inspiration. These gifts of the mentoring community are delivered through particular features of the environment such as a network of belonging; big enough questions; encounters with otherness; and habits of mind. Parks proposes that this mentoring environment has the potential to create a context for emerging adults to learn, develop and make meaning of their adult lives. In the case of this this global service-learning program in Thailand, the data revealed thatthe global service-learning mentoring environment held particular gifts and features and additional dimensions to Parks’ theory of mentoring communities. Moreover, the global service-learning mentoring environment fostered outcomes for participants related to self-authorship and global citizenship identity development not entirely captured by Parks original theoretical framework. 2017 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou151031542445746 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou151031542445746 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
