Service-Learning and Civic Efficacy among Youth with Disabilities
Miller, Christina R.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The Florida State University
The concept of civic-efficacy, as well as its role in post-school outcomes for high school students with disabilities is explored. Service-learning is introduced as a possible intervention for improving the civic-efficacy of high school students with disabilities. The existing literature regarding civic engagement, service-learning, and students with disabilities is critiqued. The results of a mixed methods study with quasi-experimental design analyzing the impact of service-learning activities on the civic-efficacy of youth with disabilities are presented. The findings indicate a significant difference in the civic-efficacy scores of youth who participate in service-learning activities. Qualitative analysis revealed that all the youth participating in the focus groups would like to do more service-learning activities and none of the service-learning sites aligned their projects with the service-learning best practices.
