대학교육에 봉사활동을 접목하려는 노력이 확대되고 있는 가운데 본 연구에서는 봉사학습(SERVICE-LEARNING)의 개념을 사회복지교육에 적용한 효과를 고찰하였다. 가족복지론 교과 수업과 봉사활동을 병행하면서 학생들의 개인적 성장요인으로서 자기효능감, 이타성, 사회적 책임의 변화를 양적연구로 분석하였고, 교과목 학습효과를 파악하기 위하여 질적연구방법으로 봉사활동 일지를 내용분석하였다. 분석결과, 봉사학습을 통해 학생들은 자기효능감, 이타성, 사회적 책임에서 자기효능감과 사회적 책임이 통계적으로 유의미한 수준으로 증가하였다. 또한 질적분석 결과, 가족문제에 대한 개입과정을 실제 적용해 보고, 가족복지이론에 대한 이해증진, 가족복지 전반에 대한 관심 증진, 클라이언트에 대한 인식의 변화 등의 효과가 있었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 봉사학습은 전공교육에 다양하게 적용해서 학생들의 개인적 성장을 도모하며, 학습효과를 증진하는데 유용한 교육방법이 될 것이다.
