Effects of two variables, students' belief in cooperation and task values, on the learning effects of community collaboration classes were examined by considering the interactions between variables. A questionnaire was administered twice to students that took the classes (N=108). The results indicated that individual orientation and inequity had negative effects, whereas the usefulness of cooperation had a positive effect on the desire to become childcare workers. Moreover, interest/attainment values, utility values, and effort cost had positive effects on the learning effects of community collaboration classes. Furthermore, it was indicated that effort cost had a relatively strong positive effect on learning effects in students with high individual orientation and inequity as well as in students with high usefulness of cooperation. On the other hand, opportunity cost had a relatively strong negative effect on the learning effects in students with low usefulness of cooperation.
