The purposes of this research were threefolds. Firstly was the development of instrument and the process by using experiential learning and service learning to foster political knowledge, and attitude as well as political participation operated by woman community leaders. Secondly was to study the outcome in utilizing the developed training process. Thirdly was to investigate the political participation behaviors of the woman community leaders. The research sample comprised 40 woman community leaders from Sarapee district of Chiangmai province selected by purposive sampling technique. These subjects of experiment were divided, half by half into the controlled group and the experimental group with a view to evaluate a political knowledge and attitude to political participation. Prior to actual experiment, both groups were trained six hours per day for three days. The experimental group was trained by the training processes developed and responsible by researcher while the control one was trained and resposible by general training methods. Consequently the experimental group was assigned to practise social service activities (developed by researcher respondents) for 15 days. Post-test, was administered to both groups after the training and post-test2 was administered to both groups four weeks after post-test.1 Post-tests included the evaluation on a) political knowledge b) political attitude c) political participation. In addition to the preceding paper-pencil test, interviews were conducted to gain qualitative information on political participation. A set of four instruments were : a set of test, an interview form, an evaluation form to evaluate training outcome, and a follow-up form to appraise after-effect. They were employed to evaluate a) political knowledge b) political attitude c) political participation. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test were employed in data analysis. The training process called “experiential learning and service learning” comprised 10 steps as follows:1) collecting data on the trainees former experiences; 2) providing new experiences by using learner-centered instructional activities; 3) encouraging trainees to retlect their ideas and participating in group discussion; 4) motivating trainees to conclude their own concepts; 5) stimulating trainees to apply their learned concepts to formulate social service plan; 6) urging trainess to participate in public service activities; 7) persuading trainees to express their views and analyze their learned experiences; 8) assigning trainees to report their learning experiences; 9) evaluating training outcomes; 10) following-up training after-effect.
