碩士 / 輔仁大學 / 社會工作學系 / 96 / This research is based on 2007 Fu Jen University oversea services project in the Philippines to explore the motives, experience, post-service gains, frustrations and their corresponding coping ways of these college participants. A qualitative method, in-depth interview, was adopted to conduct this research. Seven college students which participation this project were sampled. Based on the findings from the data analysis the conclusions are as follow:
1.The motives of the students who participation these international voluntary services were a mixture of altruism and self-interest, and were multiple-origin. The commonest motive was “to take the opportunity to go aboard for the first time”. Beside an altruism motive, service, several self-interest motives were also found among these samples such as “to cumulate their knowledge in varied issues and to experience different cultures”, “social related motives ” and “to increase personal mental maturity” etc..
2.Under the same situation, the sampled students experienced and responded differently according to their personality. The impressive experiences and the challenging experiences varied greatly and showed strong particularity. For most sampled students, the impressive experience is “a big gap between the rich and the poor”, and the challenging experience is “Chinese teaching”.
3.Regarding the post-service gains, English training in the pre-service training program was most helpful. For the post-service gains and influences “to be grateful” was mostly notified by the sampled students, and “to cumulate knowledge in varied issues” and “English improvement” were the second mostly notified.
4.Concerning their encountered frustrations and their corresponding coping ways, these sampled students reacted very differently in facing the same situation according to their sex, expertise and personality. The greatest frustration was ‘language communication in teaching’. Four ways to cope this frustration:1)to revise what the students already know; 2)to observe other volunteers, then modify or imitate; 3) to try what they know, if did not work then ask help from peers or from teachers; 4)to discuss with peers.
5.Suggestions from these sampled students : 1)for the organizations they suggested that organizers should improve contact and project planning, and reduce service stops and stay longer for every stop, some suggested that volunteers should live with the poor and deepen volunteers’ experience and provide the poor with more solid assistances; 2)for the student volunteers in the future, they most suggested that future volunteer students should have a proper mind in participating volunteer service, some suggested they should have sufficient English ability, strong enthusiasm and willingness to serve, good health and a proper mind to experience.
Last, according to literature review, research findings in this research, suggestions were given in three aspects:1) training project for the future oversea college student volunteers; 2)the required qualifications and the attitude of these future oversea college student volunteers; and 3)future studies.
