About the Book

A central purpose of this book is to question the claims commonly made about the educational benefits of study abroad.
Traditional metrics of enrollment increases and student self report and practices of structural immersion are being questioned as educators voice growing uncertainty about what students are or are not in fact learning abroad. This book looks into whether these criticisms are justified--and what can be done if they are.
Student Learning Abroad reviews existing paradigms of study abroad; marshals research findings about what undergraduates are or are not learning; brings to bear the latest knowledge about human learning and development to raise questions about current theory and practice; and presents six examples of study abroad courses or programs whose interventions apply this knowledge.
This book aims to prompt a re-consideration of long-held assumptions, beliefs and practices about teaching and learning in study abroad, and a reexamination of the design and delivery of programs. In doing so, it provides a foundation for responding to the question that may faculty and staff are now asking: What do I need to know, and what do I need to be able to do, to help my students learn and develop more effectively abroad?
