ABSTRACT
This study examined
how the experiences of college students in the Tzu Chi Humanities Camp (TCHC), a
service-learning-oriented course component, influenced their learning goals
regarding their staff functions to develop an incremental view of self.
According to self theories, certain views of the self can influence learning
outcomes. The research
methods included case interviews and the analysis of reflection journals of
four alumni. This
study concludes that supportive engagement, harmonious relationships, and
repeated practice contributed to a positive social climate, motivating the
college students to achieve their learning goals and challenge their
perceptions of the self.
