Abstract:

Civic education serves as a bridge between the academic institution and the societal involvement of students. This descriptive study explored the learnings derived by the students from their Civic Welfare Training Service along content, values, and skills. The NSTP2 students were surveyed about the important knowledge, values, and skills they have learned in their theoretical lessons and their exposure in the community. The students consistently mentioned leadership and volunteerism as concepts and values learned and applied to enhance themselves and their relationships with their classmates and other members of the community. A sense of social responsibility arises out of their exposures to the realities in the community, especially in their interaction with the people. Notably, the students learned some practical skills that they applied to their personal and community life. The researchers recommend that CWTS-NSTP2 sustain the topics taught and fnd avenues for the application of the knowledge acquired by the students.
