Service learning as experience in the Degree of Primary Education

Abstract

The university, as a social institution of reference, is increasingly aware that its function can not be carried out regardless of the social responsibility it plays. The current university training model requires learning situations that allow combining academic learning and training for active citizenship. From this approach, a service learning experience is presented in a subject in the Degree in Primary Education, which aims to serve as a methodological strategy in the formation of a critical citizenship among future teachers. Its implementation has allowed us to know the different attitudes of students towards social intervention, favoring contact with various institutions of the environment through collaboration in their programs, performing different types of service according to their learning and interests.
