Keywords:
pedagogical methodology, community service, social reality, professional trainingAbstract
Given the existence of inequality gaps in Latin America and a growing need of students in social issues, many institutions have seen as convenient the development of a pedagogical methodology based on service-learning as an effective alternative to these needs. This study aims to identify the impacts of service-learning programs on the training of university students. The methodology is composed of a bibliographic review of articles published on the impact of service-learning on university students. The research is specific and critical, the procedure followed was: select articles, identify relevance, synthesize information, group according to similarity and identify variables or factors associated with the study of the topic, thus selecting 30 articles related to the research objective, finally the information was organized in a matrix, then those with similar inquiries and conclusions were selected and grouped. The analysis allows us to conclude that service-learning produces positive and significant impacts at the academic and cognitive, civic, vocational and professional, ethical and moral, personal and social levels, generating professionals with comprehensive training with greater skills and abilities for better job performance.
