About this study

Background: The core value of healthcare education is caring. However, caring traits are learned and acquired. Service learning advocates learning by doing. Through experience learning, students are guided to learn caring attitude or caring behaviour. Thus, teachers should construct appropriate assessments to understand caring traits as a transformative process from students' learning. Teachers should also adjust the pace of teaching continuously and design appropriate courses to facilitate students' achievement of their learning goals.
