Resumen

Given the existence of inequality gaps in Latin America and a growing need for students in social issues, many institutions have seen the development of a pedagogical methodology based on service-learning as an effective alternative to these needs. This study aims to identify the impacts of service-learning programs on the training of university students. The methodology is composed of a bibliographic review of articles published on the impact of service-learning on university students. The analysis allows us to conclude that service-learning produces positive and significant impacts at the academic and cognitive, civic, vocational and professional, ethical and moral, personal and social levels, generating professionals with comprehensive training with greater skills and abilities for better job performance.
