What is it about?

This research examined implementation of the Creativity, Service, Action (CAS) component of International Baccelaurate (IB) program in 6 schools in Turkey. Research on this experiential and service learning component of the IB curriculum is still very limited. This study examined the structures and supports that influence the quality of implementation of CAS and student experiences in relation to their perceived outcomes.

Why is it important?

We used an ecological framework to examine implementation of an experiential learning program. The framework and components discussed have implications on research, practice, and policy for social emotional learning and extended learning programs implemented in schools.

Perspectives

This research contributes to literature on IB as well as international studies of programs that promote social emotional well-being and citizenship.
