Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rural areas are facing the issue of a lack of people to take part in community development. As a means of solving this problem, this study focused on fostering a willingness to get involved in community issues through study tours. The results of a quantitative analysis revealed the effects of the learning process ( implicit and explicit learning) on learning outcomes (knowledge acquisition and self-efficacy) and the effects of learning outcomes on learning objective (fostering willingness to get involved in community issues). Knowledge acquisition is more important than self-efficacy in fostering willingness to get involved in community issues, and knowledge acquisition is facilitated by implicit learning. However, self-efficacy is more important than implicit learning for knowledge acquisition, and self-efficacy is facilitated by explicit learning.
