EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF VOLUNTEERING AS PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING SKILLS: A STUDY OF ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDENTS AT SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
This study investigates how volunteer teaching contributes to the development of teaching skills among English Education students at Sriwijaya University. Although experiential learning has long been emphasized in teacher education, little empirical research has examined how non-mandatory volunteer teaching fosters pedagogical growth in the Indonesian EFL context. This study addresses three research questions: (1) How do these experiences influence their perception of the teaching profession (2) What teaching skills are developed through volunteer teaching? and (3) What challenges do students face during these experiences? Using a qualitative case study approach, 23 English Education Sriwijaya University students were purposively selected based on their involvement in community-based volunteer teaching programs. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews by Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Model, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. The findings reveal that volunteering helps students develop core teaching skills, apply theoretical knowledge in practice, and build emotional strengths such as confidence and adaptability. While participants encountered common classroom challenges, they responded with creative strategies that deepened their instructional awareness. These experiences ultimately strengthened their sense of professional identity and confirmed the value of volunteer teaching as a bridge between academic preparation and real-world application. The study suggests the relevance of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Model in explaining the multidimensional learning outcomes of volunteer-based teaching.
