Abstract
This study was conducted mainly to
examine a service-learning program at RIS by
determining students’ and teachers’ perception of the
linkage and satisfaction with service learning
activities and classroom learning experiences done at
RIS. The sample included 254 secondary students and
52 teachers from Ruamrudee International School.
This research found differences in students’ and
teachers’ perceptions of service learning activities and
satisfaction of learning experience statistically
significant. Teachers gave a high rating to perceptions
and satisfaction than students. A number of
suggestions were given by students showing how
important that service learning has been in
strengthening and enhancing their education. Service
Learning has served to enhance the process of making
connections with learning in classroom and bringing
to life through the experiences of serving and learning.
In conclusion, the researcher suggests when
constructing service learning activities, consider the
needs of students, and elicit the support of teachers
and the community partners. It is crucial to have the
whole community join force and working together to
bring out what is best for all.
