abstract = {Background: The development of prosocial competencies in university
students can be attained through the implementation of Service-
Learning (S-L) methodology by carrying out a community service to
groups of foreign unaccompanied minors (FUM). Physical Education
Teacher Education (PETE) and Sport Science (SS) students involved in an
S-L experience normally develop a critical way of thinking as they face
social conflicts. Besides, social justice education and S-L attempt to help
in favour of social inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the development of prosocial
competencies in PETE and SS students taking a Dual Degree Program in
Physical Activity (PA) and SS and Primary Education. This is done
through S-L methodology, by carrying out a community service to
groups of FUM.
Method: A total of 21 male and 9 female PETE and SS students
participated in this study. The methodology used is of a qualitative
nature. Reflective diary is used as an instrument for data collection, and
content analysis as an information analysis technique.
Results: It has been observed an improvement in the prosocial
competencies of the PETE and SS students involved in the S-L
experience. The competencies with the greatest number of references
and, therefore, those with a greater presence in their testimonies,
include organisation, proactivity and optimism, self-esteem, and
tolerance and respect.
Conclusion: The S-L is capable of undertaking a transformative role which
enables PETE and SS students to acquire prosocial competencies},
