| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業教育研究所 === 91 === This research has attempted to investigate and understand the present situation and categories of the practices of service learning in the Taipei municipal public vocational schools. To improve future strategies for service learning practice, the present research has explored the influences of the students’ personal factors and their reasons for participating in service learning on their attitudes toward their participation in service learning and on the duration of their participation. Also, this research has discussed the relationships between their attitudes toward the participation in service learning and the duration of their participation.
This research has employed the methodologies of “documentation analysis” and “questionnaires”, with 3,383 students from the Taipei Municipal public vocational schools in 2002 as the population, and by means of stratified random cluster sampling to select 370 persons from 11 classes. The acquired information has been analyzed and tested according to the “mean”, “percentile” , “standard deviation” , “Pearson’s product-moment correlation” , “one sample t-test” , “one-way ANOVA” and “F-test” .
This research has achieved some important conclusions, summarized as follows:
1. The average hours of the Taipei municipal public vocational school students’ service learning are more than 8 hours. The most frequently participated service learning items are, in order of frequency, “community service”, “leisure service” and “cultural establishments”. The most frequently participated service learning institutes are “schools” and “communities”. The most frequently participated learning service practice mode is “self-arranged service”.
2. The major reason of the Taipei municipal public vocational school students for participating in service learning is “school requirements”. The contents of most of the students’ participation in service learning bear no relation to their studies at schools.
3. The differences in departments among the Taipei municipal public vocational school students result in obvious distinctions in relation to the duration of their participations in service learning. The differences in sex and departments result in obvious distinctions in relation to their attitudes toward their participations in service learning.
4. The different reasons of the Taipei municipal public vocational school students for participating in service learning have obvious influences on the duration of their participations and their attitudes toward their participations.
5. The duration of the Taipei municipal public vocational school students’ participation in service learning obviously relates to their attitudes toward their participations.
