Purpose: To compare the development of teaching competency in preservice teachers of physical education (n = 96) through two different modalities of intervention from the same service-learning program. The preservice teachers provided a direct service to children with motor functional diversity, promoting their motor skills and counteracting their lack of social attention. Method: The topic was approached using mixed methods with methodological triangulation. Quantitative evidence was gathered through a quasi-experimental design of two nonequivalent experimental groups implementing the following instrument: the Teaching Competency while performing Motor Skills and Body Language Games Rubric. Meanwhile, qualitative analysis was undertaken by elaborating upon 12 life histories of multiple crossed stories. Results: The quantitative results provided significant evidence regarding the academic effect of service-learning on preservice teachers, while the qualitative interpretation complemented this view, reflecting on how this learning was developed. Discussion/Conclusion: The authors provided the original findings of the service-learning effects on the teaching competency of preservice teachers as well as the promotion of additional academic and social learning.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de aplicar un programa de ApS a estudiantes de maestro/a en el ámbito de la Educación Física. En concreto se analiza su incidencia en el desarrollo de la competencia social y ciudadana, desde una perspectiva metodológica mixta. La complementariedad cuantitativa-cualitativa plantea un marco adecuado de aproximación al objeto de estudio. Cuantitativamente la investigación muestra tendencias de mejora en algunas dimensiones (Conformidad con lo socialmente correcto, Sensibilidad social, Ayuda y colaboración y Responsabilidad Social) que son refrendadas en el análisis cualitativo. A partir del objetivo planteado en la investigación y vistos los datos obtenidos y su discusión, se concluye que el ApS aplicado en el ámbito de la formación de futuros docentes es una buena herramienta para desarrollar su competencia social y ciudadana.

Higher education requires a pedagogical transformation to guide teaching practice toward true educational competences. Service-Learning (SL) has become a teaching methodology that promotes social and personal skills. This systematic review of the literature reports SL experiences and research of university subjects related to physical education and sport sciences. All of them are based on different descriptive axes such as the type of publication: description of educational experiences, research articles or theoretical works. Similarly, this review has considered the geographical location, the methodological approaches used, the type of service provided and the different profiles of service recipient groups. Following an exhaustive search, 18 peer-reviewed publications were organized according to the methodology used, characteristics of the sample, duration and intensity of intervention programmes, instruments used, geographic distribution, profile of the group receiving the service and effects on students’ academic learning. The results indicate that the methodologies used tended to be qualitative, while the variety of samples and duration of interventions was very broad. The instruments used were mainly interviews and questionnaires. Most of the groups receiving SL included people with functional diversity or disabilities, children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, children with special educational needs, people at a disadvantage or social exclusion and curricular lag. The publications in the present review highlight the impact of SL in university subjects related to physical education and sport sciences.

Resumen. El desarrollo de la "Personalidad Eficaz", entendido como constructo en el que se relacionan los rasgos de la personalidad con la conducta eficaz en contextos profesionales o académicos, se postula como una de las metas de la formación universitaria del s. XXI. En esta línea, el Aprendizaje-servicio (ApS) es un método pedagógico que podría satisfacer estas necesidades al centrarse en la aplicación de competencias académicas en contextos reales. El presente trabajo, desde un enfoque mixto de investigación, se plantea el objetivo de conocer si el ApS contribuye al desarrollo de la "Personalidad Eficaz" en estudiantes de magisterio del área de Educación Física. El estudio que se presenta se concretó en la Universitat Jaume I (España) y analiza el resultado de un programa de ApS sobre un grupo de estudiantes de segundo curso del Grado de Magisterio. Del análisis cuantitativo se concluye la existencia de diferencias significativas, a favor del grupo experimental, en los resultados globales del Test de Personalidad Eficaz para Universitarios. Por otra parte, el enfoque cualitativo del estudio se alinea y complementa los resultados cuantitativos, favoreciendo una mejor y más contextualizada comprensión de los mismos.

The development of the "Effective Personality ", understood as a construct in which personality traits with effective behaviour in professional or academic contexts are related, is postulated as one of the goals of the 21st-century university training. According to this approach, the ServiceLearning (S-L) is a pedagogical method that could meet these needs by focusing on the application of academic skills in real contexts. This paper, raised from a mixed research approach, arises in order to know whether the S-L contributes to the development of the "Effective-Personality" of pre-service teachers of the area of Physical Education. The study presented was carried out at Jaume I University (Spain) and analyses the results of a S-L program implemented by a group of second grade pre-service teachers. The quantitative analysis concludes significant differences, in favor of the experimental group, in the comparison of the overall results of the Effective Personality Test for University Students. Moreover, the qualitative study approach aligns and complements the quantitative results, favouring a better and more contextualized understanding of them.

This study aims to analyze the effects of a service learning (SL) program on the subjective happiness (SH), prosocial behavior (PB), and professional learning (PL) perceptions of Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students as well as to examine the correlations among these variables. Methods:The study used a quasi-experimental design of two non-equivalent groups (control and experimental) comparing pre-test and post-test data. The instruments used were the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Prosocial and Civic Competence questionnaire, and the Impact of Service Learning during Initial Training of Physical Activity and Sports questionnaire.Results: Data indicated that SL only had a significant influence on SH when the students compared themselves with their peers. On the other hand, the effect of SL on promoting PB and PL perceived was significant in several of their dimensions. Finally, the results showed a greater correlation of the perceived PL with the PB than with the SH. Discussion/Conclusion:The results of the study provide educational researchers with valuable information to better understand how SL influences the training of PETE students.

(1) Background: The population of older adults is growing faster but most of them experience physical, psychological, and social limitations. Higher education should reflect these concerns by providing students appropriate skills to support a sustainable society and putting the acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. Intergenerational Service Learning (SL) is an educational approach capable of contributing to these requirements. The goal of the study was to analyze the effects of an intergenerational SL program from the complementary perspective of the different agents involved. (2) Methods: The study used hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, widely used in educational research. A total of 23 (three female) Physical Education Teacher Education students (PETEs) and 20 older adults (three male) participated. Reflective journals were used for PETEs and semi-structured group interviews for older adults. (3) Results: The following categories emerged from PETEs: social sensitivity and disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, academic and professional learnings, satisfaction and personal growth, and desire for social justice. From older adults, four complementary categories emerged: disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, improvement of physical function, satisfaction and desire of continuity, and social interaction. (4) Conclusions: Intergenerational SL offers important social and educational inputs by deconstructing negative stereotypes and providing positive experiences to both PETEs and older adults.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of servicelearning (SL) in physical education teacher education students (PETEs). The PETEs (n = 169) completed one of the editions of a SL program carried out between 2015-2018. This program consisted of designing and leading motor game sessions to facilitate the inclusion of 116 children with special educational needs (SEN). The program was based on Kolb's learning stages to promote reflection and critical thinking. Reflective journals were used as an instrument to gather information from their experiences. These data were analysed qualitatively through a multiphase approach, initial open-coding and axial coding, using NVivo (10) software. Results were displayed through the categories of Butin's Conceptual Model: technical, cultural, political, and post-structural perspectives. SL provided the pre-service teachers an inclusive educational experience, allowing them to link theory and practice in a truly operative way.
