Abstract

Objectives This study is aimed to examine the cases of operating service learning at K University and suggest ways to vitalize service learning based on the cases of its operation in order to realize qualitative improvement in the future operation of service learning-related courses. Methods To address the goal, this researcher examined the current status of service learning operated by K University located in B Metropolitan City for case study and analyzed the contents of assessment on satisfaction and operation performed in the second semester of 2021. To solve operational problems found in the operation of service learning, this author conducted literature review and sought ways to solve the problems and vitalize it. Results In the process of examining the cases of operating the courses of service learning at K University, four limitations were discovered. Based on that, this researcher suggests four ways to vitalize service learning. First, it is needed to establish community infrastructure. Second, instructors for service learning should be trained. Third, it is necessary to train students taking the courses of service learning. Fourth, universities should get support to extend the operation of service learning. Conclusions This study has investigated the limitations of service learning with the cases at K University and sought various ways to extend and vitalize the operation of service learning afterwards based on the ways of its vitalization. This study seems to be significant because grounded on that, it provides foundational material for follow-up research to be done multilaterally regarding effectiveness in the actual operation of service learning, results of learning, and the operation of service learning, too.
