ABSTRACT

Introduction: Research in education and the health sciences indicated that international service-learning (ISL) has positive impacts on participants’ intercultural competence, although little information exists in the music therapy profession. This study examined the characteristics of ISL within the context of music therapy and investigated its relationship with intercultural competence in U.S. music therapists.

Method: A total of 621 board certified music therapists participated in the study. The researcher-designed cross-sectional survey consisted of checklists, Likert scales, one standardized self-report measure – the Assessment of Intercultural Competence, a culture-related music therapy competence checklist, and demographic information.

Results: Results of the study confirmed anecdotal evidence that music therapists and music therapy students are engaging in a variety of ISL programs. Furthermore, the results suggested possible enhancement in intercultural competence, but not necessarily intercultural competence in music therapy.

Discussion: Several recommendations include theoretical and conceptual clarification of intercultural competence in music therapy professional practice, as well as cost-benefit considerations for participating in ISL.

美国音乐治疗师的国际服务学习和跨文化能力:初步调查结果

摘要

简介: 教育和健康科学的研究表明,国际服务学习 (ISL) 对参与者的跨文化能力有积极影响,尽管在音乐治疗专业中存在的信息很少。本研究在音乐治疗的背景下检查了 ISL 的特征,并调查了它与美国音乐治疗师跨文化能力的关系。

方法:共有 621 名获得委员会认证的音乐治疗师参与了这项研究。研究人员设计的横断面调查包括清单、李克特量表、一种标准化的自我报告测量——跨文化能力评估、与文化相关的音乐治疗能力清单和人口统计信息。

结果:研究结果证实了音乐治疗师和音乐治疗学生正在参与各种 ISL 课程的轶事证据。此外,结果表明跨文化能力可能会增强,但不一定是音乐治疗中的跨文化能力。

讨论:一些建议包括音乐治疗专业实践中跨文化能力的理论和概念澄清,以及参与 ISL 的成本效益考虑。
