Abstract

The number and complexity of youth problems have tended to increase in recent years that teachers nowadays seem to face the most critical period in their career in which they have to retain the qualrty of teaching and transfer of knowledge alongside to act as problems solver for their students. It is obvious that more hands are needed. School psychologists are professionals that perhaps posses the most suitable competence on handling the position ofa school teacher as a problem solver. The current paper reports an effort to enhance psychology students' knowledge and skill that may lead to an enhanced passion to have careers as school psychologists through service learning method. Results of this SL project showed that these students reported an enhanced knowledge, understanding and awareness about the relationship between one's ability and characteristic and the socioeconomic condition of the families - or the so-called ecological validity. This project also clearly showed a significance that service leaming method may help university students think in a new ways about their relationships with people who are unlike them that may lead them to be more tolerant and sensible school psychologists in the future.
