Προσθήκη ετικέτας | Περίληψη: | Service-learning constitutes a relatively new activity in Ecuadorian higher education contexts, which aims to provide the community in need with a service while the participating undergraduate students learn about their future profession while practicing in real contexts. This article presents the importance of changes and reflection that the aforementioned Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros (PINE) students experienced during the service-learning practices included in their curriculum. Apprentices who participated in this research were invited to an in-depth interview. They were asked to tell their stories and experiences during their involvement in projects where they taught English to children from 5 to 11 years old in a virtual modality in different PINE programs in the last year. These interviews were later analyzed using the narrative analysis method in its content analysis form, which consists of listening to the testimonies, after recording, transcribing, and coding them, extracting only the most relevant information for the research from students’ narratives. After analyzing the interviews, the data showed that PINE students, after a time frame of participating in the aforementioned activities, experienced plenty of changes in their practices when it comes to their professional training linked to the community and reflection played a key role in that process. After the analysis, the results show that students’ exposure to service-learning practices greatly influenced their perceptions about teaching and the practices they consider important during formal instruction. |
