(2011). The relationshipbetween community serviceinvolvement and student out-comes in Mexican higher learninginstitutions. Ph.D., AndrewsUniversity.This mixed-methods study soughtto understand the way communityservice is implemented in MexicanSeventh-day Adventist higher educa-tion and its impact on students. In thequalitative stage, three cases werestudied in which 18 people from threeSeventh-day Adventist universities inMexico participated in interviews andfocus groups. In the quantitativestage, a questionnaire was given to202 seniors at the same three universi-ties to explore the relationshipsbetween involvement in communityservice experiences and the prosocial,spiritual, and personal developmentof students. Qualitative cases revealed fivethemes around which the experienceof community service on the studiedcampuses is understood: commitmentof the institution to community serv-ice, institutional ethos, variety ofcommunity service activities, peopleand roles in community service activi-ties, and impact of community serviceon students. In the quantitative stage,subjects reported high levels of proso-cial, spiritual, and personal develop-ment associated with their involve-ment in community service. The mostinfluential variables of communityservice involvement were involve-ment in church-related communityservice, satisfaction derived frominvolvement in community service,intensity of community serviceinvolvement, and learning derivedfrom community service involvement. As well as confirming the positiverole that community service plays inthe prosocial, spiritual and personaldevelopment of students, this studyconfirms both the validity and rele-vance of integrating community service into the academic programand student life of all higher learninginstitutions, as observed in otherstudies in this field.

The impact of Confucianism asa cultural force in affecting the per-ceptions and practices of Chinese pas-tors is discovered in this study.
