This study explored the influences of experiences in service learning curriculum programs, involvement of service on learning outcomes from junior high school students. The participants include 729 junior high school students in the learning curriculum and programs under a grant from Ministry of Education during the academic year of 2013. A developed scale measuring the service engagement, experiences of process, and service learning outcomes was used as the research tool. The results indicated: (a) based on the confirmatory factor analysis, the reliabilities and construct validities of the scale are good; (b) all learning outcomes in the high level group are higher than that of the low level group in the service-learning experience; (c) the fitness of model of this study is good and the direct effects among service engagement, program quality, and service learning outcomes are significant. The service engagement has the mediating effect on the impact of program quality to learning outcomes. The research could be a reference for schools to design effective programs to enable students becoming mature and to implement desired learning outcomes through other kinds of service learning. |
