Intergenerational Service-Learning in Five Cohorts of Students: Is Attitude Change Robust?

Effectiveness of Supervised Intergenerational Service Learning in Long-term Care Facilities on the Attitudes, Self-transcendence, and Caring Behaviors Among Nursing Students: A Quasiexperimental Study

“…Although Dorfman, Murty, Ingram, and Evans (2004) found that the effect of ISL on the attitudinal change of students varied in different nursing homes, there was no large enough sample at any facility to support their research results. Plus, nursing homes are not able to represent all types of LTCFs.…”

“I Learned That the Aging Population Isn't That Much Different From Me”: The Final Outcomes of a Gero-Ed BEL Project

“…These measures were used in previous research on student attitudes about older adults and willingness to work with them (Dorfman, Murty, Ingram, & Evans, 2002;Dorfman, Murty, Ingram, Evans, & Power, 2004) and they assessed outcomes consistent with the BEL Program's focus on ageism and working in aging. The General Attitudes Toward the Elderly scale (Dorfman et al, 2002) was employed to measure ageist attitudes.…”

Sustaining Intergenerational Service-Learning In Gerontology Education

“…Recent research provides evidence of the positive benefits, particularly to students, of this aspect of pedagogy in areas of gerontological education (Aberle-Grasse, 2000;Blieszner & Artale, 2001;Brown & Roodin, 2001;Dorfman, Murty, Ingram, Evans & Power, 2004;Hanks & Icenogle, 2001;O'Quin, in press;Rhoads & Howard, 1998;Knapp & Stubblefield, 2000). Cavanaugh (2001) acknowledges, however, that the positive outcomes stem more from personal learning and community service than from content learning.…”
