The Impact of Direct Experiences with Children with Disabilities on Undergraduate Student Perceptions and Dispositions
Bassette, Laura; Jefferson, Ruth; Stuve, Matthew; Geiser, Sarah
International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v70 n6 p977-993 2023
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of an immersive learning (IL) course in which university students planned, developed, and implemented a 2-week day camp for children with disabilities. To assess perceptions and associated dispositional constructs, university students completed reflection activities before, during, and post camp (immediate, and 3 years after). The results indicate perceptions were impacted both during the IL course and across several timepoints after the completion of course. Comfort interacting with people with disabilities was the primary construct maintained 3-years after the camp, and results indicate the camp experience impacted career choices. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.
