A questionnaire was used as a research instrument. Data analysis employed mean and standard deviation. Step 3: Experimentation and evaluation of the approach using action research, and assessment based on Kirkpatrick's model. The data was provided by 86 students. Research instruments included manuals, tests, evaluation forms, and reflective notes. Data analysis employed mean, standard deviation, t-test, and content analysis. Research findings indicate that, when ranked from highest to lowest, the assessed needs are as follows: 1) service, 2) honesty, 3) humility, 4) sacrifice, and 5) empowerment.
