Abstract
The quantitative and qualitative analysis shows that students made significant progress after they participate in service learning. The comparison between pre-test and post-test and the reflections provide us with a pedagogy mode to elevate CET education. The data further confirms that service learning learners regulate their learning more successfully and such kind of practice can raise students’ awareness of citizenship. Due to limited resource, this is only an initial study.
