SANTOS REGO, Miguel A.; MELLA-NUNEZ, Ígor y GARCIA-ALVAREZ, Jesús. Moral education and action ethics in university service-learning: the shadow of John Dewey. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.173, pp.166-182. Epub 14-Feb-2022. ISSN 0185-2698. https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.24486167e.2021.173.59818.
This article examines the way in which the ideas of John Dewey have influenced the origin and development of service-learning, especially with regard to his analysis of the moral dimension of education, and how this conception has permeated the operational deployment of this educational strategy in higher education. With this in mind, we carried out a comprehensive bibliographic review, both of the author’s original texts and of subsequent interpretations that, ultimately, allow us to analyze the existing links between the thoughts of the American philosopher and the ethical and moral possibilities of service-learning. Moreover, we highlight the deliberative and axiological components (participation, commitment, responsibility, etc.) that can be encouraged in university students with this methodology, and we delve on the possibility of reconstructing a democratic citizenship based on an ethics of action from a community needs assessment.
