Service learning is a compulsory course promoted by many universities. It provides students with diverse backgrounds to meet their needs for self-awareness, practical learning and problem-solving skills. Service learning combines the concepts of “service” and “learning” to promote empirical teaching or activities to enhance students’ attitudes, skills and values needed to obtain citizenship. Kolb (1984) also proposed the theory of empirical learning patterns. This theory helps us to explore why learning can bring about learning through four-oriented learning cycles. Through the specific experience of service and the process of reflection, we gradually achieve the set learning goals. Although the research on service learning in the past is rich, most of them were conducted in quantitative methods, they pay less attention to the experiences of participation and the diversity of people, and the discussions on the relationship between learning process of participants in service learning and Kolb theory is limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the characteristics and patterns of service learning, and to compare the experiences and process of service learning participants with Kolb’s empirical model theory. Moreover, this study explored the process and reflections of service learning participants and the transformation to altruism. Corresponding to the pattern diagram of Kolb’s empirical learning model theory, the researcher re-examined the cyclical model of this theory. This study has reached the following conclusions: 1. Serve and learn in a real and diverse life situation, and enhance the sensitivity of cross-disciplinary. 2. Service learning needs to trigger the sense of meaning of the participants: 3. Service learning can promote participants to experience service value and altruism. Based on the above research conclusions, the researchers suggests that the curriculum should strengthen the systematic reflection content and improve the link between service and learning to help service learning course designers and participants in the future, with better planning and development reference. |
