La Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali propicia la formación de docentes con la propuesta pedagógica del Aprendizaje Servicio –AS–, a través de talleres y seminarios, lográndose su implementación en algunas asignaturas. Lo que se busca con el documento Aprendizaje Servicio: guía práctica para su implementación, es ofrecer a los docentes interesados en la temática, una guía que facilite la comprensión de sus fundamentos básicos y algunas herramientas prácticas para su implementación.

Advocates have positioned service-learning as a real-world, real-time opportunity for students to encounter academic knowledge in a meaningful and relevant manner. Service-learning in higher education settings offers a powerful alternative to traditional models of teaching and learning. Students are encouraged to develop links to local institutions, volunteer their time, and create a special bond between the university and the community in which they live. Service-learning has become a very popular alternative to standard courses in higher education and is gaining significant popularity. This book takes a serious look at the unintended consequences and alternative conceptualizations of this mode of learning and explores what it could offer us in the future.
