This study explores the implementation process and educational implications of integrating community service into social and emotional learning (SEL) within Xingfu Junior High School (a pseudonym) in Chiayi County. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through long-term participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, followed by a reflexive thematic analysis. The findings reveal three key insights: (1) The curriculum shifted from task-oriented to learning-oriented design by integrating community exploration, intergenerational learning, and reflective activities, which facilitated the internalization of SEL competencies. (2) Through action and reflection, students enhanced their self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, interpersonal skills, and responsible decision-making. (3) Teachers transformed from instructors to emotional facilitators, while parents and the community formed a supportive network that strengthened students’affective development. The study concludes that community service provides a localized context for practicing SEL, cultivating students’core competencies of initiative, interaction, and collaboration for the common good, while also demonstrating the humanistic value and innovative potential of rural education. |
