Action-research processes in service learning: perceptions of pedagogical protagonists in Friendly Cities 4All project

Abstract

Friendly Cities for everyone (4All): action-research in urban accessibility through OpenStreetMap is a service learning project to promote civic awareness in the right of accessibility, already carried out by more than 1000 teenagers and/or people with reduced mobility in The Basque Country. In this article we share a qualitative analysis of their perceptions, from their research role in their commitment to the transformation of the environment. Given the results offered in relation to social challenge, learning and service, we propose a synthesis of interaction between the continuum of perception of their own emotions-values-engagement and their orientation to action, in the co-generation of a competent and inclusive citizenship.
