Abstract
The purpose of this case study was to describe the activities that provide pre-service agriculture education teachers with intercultural development while completing an international service-learning project using the 2018 Scotland Service-Learning study abroad at the University of Georgia as the bounded case. This study uses qualitative case study research methods; semi-structured interviews and guide reflective journals were collected during the Spring of 2018. Four preservice agriculture education majors were sampled. Findings of this study reveal that students benefited from study abroad programs in the areas of preconceived ideas, balancing cultural bias, travel, teaching, culture, and the experience itself. Participants returned with renewed passions for teaching and creating engaging experiences for their future students along with a new awareness of the importance of their own culture and the cultures of others.
