Definições

Service-Learning (sometimes referred to as community-based or community-engaged

learning) is an innovative pedagogical approach that integrates meaningful community service
or engagement into the curriculum and offers students academic credit for the learning that
derives from active engagement within community and work on a real world
problem. Reflection and experiential learning strategies underpin the learning process and the
service is linked to the academic discipline.*
Service-learning brings together students, academics and the community whereby all become
teaching resources, problem solvers and partners. In addition to enhancing academic and real
world learning, the overall purpose of service learning is to instil in students a sense of civic
engagement and responsibility and work towards positive social change within society.

*(Note: This definition is developed by Europe Engage project partners.)

Service-learning is a coursebased, credit-bearing educational experience in which students (a)

participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect
on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a
broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.
This is in contrast to co- curricular and extracurricular service, from which learning may occur,
but for which there is no formal evaluation and documentation of academic learning.

(Bringle & Hatcher, 1995)

Service Learning (hereinafter SL) is an educational program that combines learning processes
and community service in a single project, so that it becomes a tool for training of students. Its
