Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study which aspects must be present in a service learning proposal, in the context of higher education, in order to ensure a high quality outcome, and to create a tool to evaluate said outcomes. Therefore, the objective is to use a self-evaluating rubric to measure the quality of service learning proposals in higher education, and to assist faculty members to make necessary adjustments to improve the development and focus of programs that they are managing or creating. The rubric has ten categories based on the analysis of key points which experts agree should exist in order to ensure a quality service learning program in an educational context.
