The purposes of this study were to identify and analyze the commonalities that existed among established international service-learning programs within physical therapist education programs in terms of structures (conditions, consequences) and processes (action/interaction) and to develop a conceptual model of optimal international service-learning within physical therapist education programs. Using the qualitative research methodology of grounded theory, a descriptive exploratory study was completed.

520 $a The purposes of this study were to identify and analyze the commonalities that existed among established international service-learning programs within physical therapist education programs in terms of structures (conditions, consequences) and processes (action/interaction) and to develop a conceptual model of optimal international service-learning within physical therapist education programs. Using the qualitative research methodology of grounded theory, a descriptive exploratory study was completed.
520 $a Phone interviews were completed with 14 faculty who had been involved in international service, international learning, and/or international service-learning in physical therapist education programs in the United States. Participants represented public, faith-affiliated, and non-faith affiliated private universities from all U.S. geographic regions.
520 $a Using data from the eight programs that met the operational definition of established international service-learning, commonalities were identified. Four major themes emerged from the data: structure, reciprocity, relationship, and sustainability. The commonalities compared favorably with the principles of good practice found in the international service-learning literature, including: reciprocity, learning, service, connection between studies and learning, student leadership, reflection, and support services.
520 $a A conceptual model of and a proposed definition for optimal international service-learning in physical therapist education were developed. The essential core conditions of the model are the faculty member, community partner, students, structure, reciprocity, relationship, and sustainability. Five essential phases are: development, design, implementation, evaluation, and enhancement. Seven essential components of the phases are: a partner that understands the role of physical therapy, community-identified needs, explicit service and learning objectives, reflection, preparation, risk management, and service and learning outcome measures. Essential consequences are positive effects on students and community.
520 $a The significance of the study is that it is the first study to examine the phenomenon of international service-learning in physical therapist education in depth and breadth. The conceptual model can be employed to guide development of new international service-learning programs in physical therapist education and to improve existing ones, and it provides the foundation for the direction and content of future qualitative and quantitative investigations.
