Abstract

This study documents the perceptions of recreational therapy students who took part in an international faculty-led study abroad experience for 3 weeks in Serbia, Romania, and Croatia. Students volunteered in institutions, schools, and a camp for individuals with disabilities as well as taking part in cultural experiences. Participant video journals were recorded pre-trip, during the trip, and shortly after returning from studying abroad to garner student perspectives. Using a general qualitative approach, responses were transcribed verbatim, coded, and then arranged in over-arching themes. Pre-trip themes focused on looking forward to the experience coupled with anxiety. During the trip perceptions included, a positive impact from working in programs with clients who have disabilities as well as developing relationships with peers in the program cohort. Upon return and reflection, students expressed a perceived overall growth professionally and personally from the trip, a positive experience, life-long relationships that were firmly established, a gratefulness for the experience, and finally, helpful suggestions for future improvements.
东南欧的残疾:教师主导的留学项目的定性分析
这项研究记录了在塞尔维亚、罗马尼亚和克罗地亚参加为期3周的国际教师主导的留学体验的娱乐治疗学生的看法。学生们在机构、学校和残疾人营地做志愿者,并参与文化体验。参与者在旅行前、旅行期间和留学归来后不久录制了视频日志,以收集学生的观点。使用一般的定性方法,逐字逐句地转录、编码回复,然后按总体主题排列。旅行前的主题集中在对体验的期待和焦虑。在旅行期间,包括与残疾客户一起参与项目以及与项目团队中的同龄人发展关系所产生的积极影响。在返回和反思后,学生们表达了从这次旅行中感受到的职业和个人的全面成长、积极的经历、牢固建立的终身关系、对这次经历的感激之情,以及对未来改进的有益建议。
