‘I am staying home’: An online service-learning experience in the Early Childhood Education degree to offer educational proposals to families

Abstract

This paper discusses “Yo me quedo en casa” (‘I am staying home’), an online service-learning experience that was developed by final-year students of the Early Childhood Education degree at the University of Cadiz. The experience was mediated by technology in times of a pandemic, a situation that has forced us to reinvent ourselves and thus has offered us the opportunity for new learning. The service-learning project was designed as a response to the social needs shown by the different families in various contexts and social networks. The students who participated in the project voiced their level of satisfaction with the experience and highlighted what they had learned throughout the project.
