To achieve this goal, we devise a questionnaire on “the Service-Learning Project of Primary Schools in Taipei County,” and conduct surveys to collect related data and information. The research subjects include the incumbent directors, co-directors and teachers in public schools in Taipei County. This study, according to criterion-related validity, is conducted through a stratified random sampling. The first layer is based on the nine attended school areas regulated by Taipei County Education Bureau, and according to the ration of school scales and school numbers in that area, we draw out nearly one-fourth of schools to be the standard numbers of the second layer. And then, considering the distribution of the population of schools with different scales, researchers making reference to the ratio of the numbers and scales of schools at each district, randomly draw out seventy-two schools as samples. Besides, principals at each school are committed to randomly sample directors, co-directors and teachers as sampling as well. Of all the questionnaires sent out, four hundred and ninety eight completed ones are obtained and studied. The availability is up to 87.99%. Besides, we use average mean, standard deviation, Cochran''s-test Q-test, T-test and one-way Analysis-of-Varinnce to analyze and calculate the research database.
