About this study
Official title: Developing and Validating the Caring Questionnaire of Service Learning Courses: Using the Transformative Learning Model and Theory of Planned Behavior
Research purposes: 1. Construct the caring scale in service learning courses. 2. Verify the reliability and validity of caring scale in service learning curriculum.
Read the detailed description
Background: The core value of healthcare education is caring. However, caring traits are learned and acquired. Service learning advocates learning by doing. Through experience learning, students are guided to learn caring attitude or caring behaviour. Thus, teachers should construct appropriate assessments to understand caring traits as a transformative process from students' learning. Teachers should also adjust the pace of teaching continuously and design appropriate courses to facilitate students' achievement of their learning goals.
