This action research is based on the author's experience of founding and leading the International Red Bean Club (IRBC) for long-term community service in rural areas in Taiwan since 2012. The research utilizes multiple methods such as questionnaire surveys, reflection sheets, focus group discussions, and on-site observations in summer 2023. Initial findings show that combining curriculum credits with extracurricular club activities significantly enhances learning outcomes, surpassing traditional classroom teaching effectiveness. Pre and post-questionnaire comparisons highlight that university students' overall learning gains in the following areas: team collaboration enhancement, multicultural experiences, strengthened communication skills, and understanding of the Bunun tribe culture (Shier Harvest Festival), aligning with the original teaching goals of the diverse learning curriculum. Feedback from the first round of questionnaire surveys conducted on 27 university students who participated in the summer 2023 diverse learning curriculum during the intensive 12-day course in Taitung County, Taiwan indicated the need for further development in adaptability and wilderness survival skills. Additionally, although university students demonstrated enthusiasm in creating diverse art teaching plans and placed significant importance on the feedback from the Bunun indigenous schoolchildren, time and energy constraints limited their ability to collectively plan for the long-term growth and sustainable development of the Bunun tribe children. At present, their understanding is limited to the cognitive level of the Bunun tribe's Shier Harvest Festival. It is expected to have more participants from Yonsei University in South Korea in 2024 to join the service-learning team and to compare the differences of learning outcomes. This multilateral-domain learning curriculum initiative endeavors to step beyond the boundaries of conventional general education courses and the comfort of campus, encouraging collaborative innovation between students and instructors through long-term service learning in service-oriented clubs. Due to the unwavering commitment of the International Red Bean Club to long-term community service in rural areas, continual monitoring of the learning outcomes for both the service providers and recipients is anticipated. |
