LEARNING ACTIVITIES FOR COMMUNITY PROBLEM SOLVING

Project-based learning in specialized subjects is expected to help the learners acquire not only technical skills, but also the ability to use knowledge and to cooperate with others. We therefore held a class in which the students were to solve community issues using marketing techniques. Results of attitude surveys suggest an increase in the motivation to contribute to communities and perceptions of the ability to understand others and to achieve goals. An investigation of the relation between awareness and activities revealed that effective learning activities take into account research, analysis, and assessment of others.
