Abstract

This paper presents the results of applying a Service-Learning program in pre-service teachers in the field of PE. The impact in the development of the social and civic competence was analyzed using a mixed method approach. The quantitative-qualitative complementarity offered the appropriate framework to approach the object of study. Our quantitative results showed some trends of improvement in some dimensions (Agreement in the Socially Established as Correct Beliefs, Social Sensitivity, Help and Collaboration and Social Responsibility)which were also reflected in the qualitative analysis. From the target stated, and after having reviewed the obtained data and its discussion, it was concluded that the Service-Learning applied in pre-service teachers is a good way to develop the social and civic competence.
