Pedagogical keys for learning service rubrics

Abstract

There are several assessment rubrics for service- learning projects that are presented in the academic field. Each one puts the emphasis on some  specific aspects responding to its purpose. Attending to the concern for having an evaluation tool in this area that would respond to the integral education of the students and valuing the interesting contributions of Pope Francisco in the matter of education, an exhaustive tracking of his writings has been carried out. From an analysis of them, the educational keys of their pedagogy have been proposed that will serve as the basis for the elaboration of an evaluative rubric of the Learning- Service projects. A fundamental line is based on understanding these projects as an opportunity to humanize education, thus highlighting anthropological and existential factors such as the development of interiority and the spiritual-personal dimension. The educator is, therefore, a guide that helps the personal growth and maturation of the students. The objective of this paper is to examine a Rubric for the assessment of Service Learning Experiences in order to promote training and the integral development of the student. This is structured into two intersecting axes: person and context. It comprises six dimensions: culture, education, social agents, learning, values and service. Each dimension evaluates 5 pedagogical categories that are evaluated in 4 levels. Tools of this type allow students to be motivated in prosocial behavior. Thus, they are agents of social transformation and develop an active citizenship that works for a more just and peaceful society.
