Fomentando o respeto polo medioambiente e a reciclaxe en dous colectivos en risco de exclusión social a través do aprendizaxe-servizo

Resumen

This works includes three service-learning experiences carried out in the 2016/2017 course with students of Engineering Degree in Industrial Design and Product Development. The subjects involved in the experiences were Fundamentals of Physics (1st year) and Design and Processing with Polymers (4th year) subjects. The objective was that the students achieve certain academic and transversal skills related with the subjects and, at the same time, carried out a task for the benefit of three groups at risk of social exclusion; children with low academic performance, unemployed adults and Arabian immigrant women. For each group, the students designed and taught a workshop. In the case of children, it was intended to encourage them environment respect and critical thinking; in the case of adults, to train them for searching job in plastic and recycling industries and in the case of arabian women, promote the values of social coexistence and environment respect. This methodology favoured skill acquisition in the students, the assessment by teacher, the teacher-student relationship and the training of students not only in content but also in values.
