Abstract
This research focuses on extracurricular activities for undergraduate students. In recent years, the necessities of conducting extracurricular activities in authentic situations have been indicated in higher education. This research has two objectives: the first one is to clarify the effectiveness of extra curricular activities and the second one is to clarify how learning environments are composed in the extracurricular activities. Six people who experienced volunteering at the high school for two years as extracurricular activities and two teachers who worked with them were chosen as research targets. As a result, it could be confirmed that the experience affects students' self-development, and skills for planning and communicating can be adapted to the working places that requires those skills. In addition, the necessities to set a time and place to build communities for participants, to give students central roles and to set a common goal for both students and teachers were clarified.
