其他摘要:The present study focused on university students' volunteer activities in elementary and middle schools, examining the students' attitudes and characteristics of their activities as supporters. The students' final case reports described how they offered psychological support and learning assistance to elementary and middle school students with special needs. 5 researchers analyzed 21 students' final case reports. The results indicated that the university students reported that the school children benefited from the support that they received. The supporters' reports described the following 4 practices: active engagement in school volunteer activities; adoption of different attitudes, that is, following or leading depending on the results of observation of the school children's needs and behavior; reflections on school volunteering during and after the volunteer activities; and a team approach with specialists. The case reports were categorized into 3 patterns: balancing all 4 of the practices, associating with the school children without a team approach, and associating with the children with a team approach. An additional 28 case reports that were then categorized were found to fit into 1 of these 3 patterns. Attitudes required in offering support and improvement in volunteers' expertise through provision of support systems by the university are discussed.
