Abstract
The Service-Learning method is very useful in the context of the European Higher Education Area since it enhances the curricular and professional skills of the student through a community service. The present study aims to show the results in a Service-Learning project undertaken in the Bcahelor’s Degree in Journalism at the University of Zaragoza. The service activity was based on recording a television report which showed the social actions of nonprofit organizations. Therefore, students would be aware of the implications of the journalistic profession as a public service. Students rated the activity by filling in a self-assessment form about the provided service. This article is part of the ‘Service-Learning Teaching Innovation Project’ at the University of Zaragoza (PIIDUZ 2011.1).Downloads
