Online Tutoring Service for Enriching College Students’ Experience in Community Engagement

摘要

The use of modern technology, in which live teaching and learning is facilitated through electronic media, has extended beyond the reach of traditional teaching and learning space. In the “Online Tutoring for After-School Learning” project, supported by Ministry of Education, college students are involved in online-tutoring to promote grade school children's after-school learning and information literacy in remote areas. This study examines attitude development among college students in an online tutoring service. Main research question was explored: How did students perceive their growth in attitude toward community engagement? A questionnaire containing 68 items was used to assess attitude growth in various aspects. The results of the study indicate that college students react positively from the online tutoring service experiences.
