INITIAL TEACHER TRAINING FROM UNIVERSITY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: STUDENT SATISFACTION ON A SERVICE-LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The aim of this article is to know the level of satisfaction of students in a learning experience Service (APS) developed at the Faculty of Education at the University of Malaga. The experience included 76 Early Education Degree students divided into two different groups (A and B groups). The study is diagnostic-descriptive and ex-post facto which includes the complementary qualitative-quantitative evaluation methodology. Its main goals are to give an insight on the ratings and personal evaluation of such students after their Service Learning experiences. Results show highly positive ratings, with some quite significant differences between groups A and B. Highest values were linked to the following items: team work, promotion of creativity and personal implication into Service Learning activities. It is concluded that it is necessary to increase the use of this strategy methodology to enhance the development of University Social Responsibility.
