This study aims to analyze the effects of a service learning (SL) program on the subjective happiness (SH), prosocial behavior (PB), and professional learning (PL) perceptions of Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students as well as to examine the correlations among these variables.
The study used a quasi-experimental design of two non-equivalent groups (control and experimental) comparing pre-test and post-test data. The instruments used were the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Prosocial and Civic Competence questionnaire, and the Impact of Service Learning during Initial Training of Physical Activity and Sports questionnaire.
Data indicated that SL only had a significant influence on SH when the students compared themselves with their peers. On the other hand, the effect of SL on promoting PB and PL perceived was significant in several of their dimensions. Finally, the results showed a greater correlation of the perceived PL with the PB than with the SH.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The results of the study provide educational researchers with valuable information to better understand how SL influences the training of PETE students.
本研究旨在分析服务学习(SL)项目对体育教师教育(PETE)专业学生的主观幸福感(SH)、亲社会行为(PB)和专业学习(PL)认知的影响,并检验这些变量之间的相关性。
本研究采用两个非对等组(对照组和实验组)的准实验设计,比较前后测数据。使用的工具包括主观幸福感量表、亲社会与公民能力问卷以及体育活动与运动初始培训期间服务学习的影响问卷。
数据表明,当学生将自己与同龄人比较时,服务学习仅对主观幸福感有显著影响。另一方面,服务学习在促进亲社会行为和专业学习认知的几个维度上具有显著效果。最后,结果显示,与主观幸福感相比,专业学习认知与亲社会行为的相关性更强。
讨论/结论:该研究结果为教育研究人员提供了有价值的信息,有助于更好地理解服务学习如何影响体育教师教育专业学生的培养。
