John Dewey es la personalidad más representativa de la pedagogía norteamericana. Podríamos decir que los aportes hechos en el campo de la Educación han sido innumerables, destacando el “pragmatismo” como uno de los más valiosos. La lectura de su obra supone una fuente inagotable de ideas y propuestas que merecen ser atendidas. El enfoque de la “Pedagogía experiencial” ha propiciado diversas propuestas educativas que vienen desarrollándose en este último siglo en nuestras universidades: el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas, el Aprendizaje Basado en Retos, etc., lo cual hace notar la actualidad del mismo. Citamos aquí algunas de las teorías que de algún modo influyeron en el pensamiento de Dewey, para después atender a la propia proyección que este autor y su pensamiento han tenido en Europa y Latinoamérica. Nos acercaremos también a algunas de las propuestas educativas que mencionábamos y que, sin lugar a dudas, se fundamentan en varios de los elementos sustanciales a esa ´Pedagogía experiencial´, los principios de continuidad e interacción, o la proyección social de toda experiencia, entre otros. En relación a este último, destacaremos el Aprendizaje-Servicio, como una propuesta de especial relevancia en el desarrollo de los valores y la conducta prosocial. John Dewey is the most representative personality in American Pedagogy. Whether his contributions to the field are endless, “Pragmatism” stands out as a especially relevant one. The reading of his work is an inexhaustible source of ideas and proposals that deserve to be explored. Dewey’s Experiential Pedagogy has left a mark on various educational proposals that have being developed in the last century in our universities: problem-based learning, challenge-based learning, etc. This demonstrates the current validity of Dewey’s approach. The work presented here is a review of the theories that somehow influenced the thinking of Dewey. We explore the projection this author and his ideas have had in Europe and Latin America. We also cover some of the previously-mentioned educational proposals which, no doubt, articulate a number of substantial elements of Experiential Pedagogy, more specifically, the principles of continuity and interaction and the social impact of all experience, among others. Regarding this last idea, we will highlight Service-Learning as a proposal of particular importance in the development of values and prosocial behavior.

The Dynamics of Social Change by Henry Veltmeyer and James Petras is part of a wave of scholarly work critical of the social impact of globalization since the early 1980s. Organized into seven chapters, the book poses important questions about the supposed positive benefits of a greater exposure to foreign markets through increased trade and investment in the host countries of Latin America.

Learning abroad is a primary dimension of internationalization of higher education, but little is known about the social impact of learning abroad. While a significant body of the literature in international education has examined learning abroad from the student and academic perspectives, how host communities, especially in the Indo-Pacific, perceive the social impact of hosting students from an Anglophone country like Australia is underresearched. This study addresses this critical gap in the literature by exploring the social impact of Australian students’ learning in the Indo-Pacific from the host perspective. This article emerges from an ongoing study on Australian students’ learning in the Indo-Pacific via the New Colombo Plan (NCP), the Australian government’s signature initiative of student mobility and public diplomacy. It focuses on data from 32 interviews with host organizations, including industry firms, small businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and education institutions, in China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The study shows that not only does the Australian government position the NCP as a strategic public diplomacy tool to build lasting relationships with Indo-Pacific countries, but receiving countries also view the NCP as a catalyst that facilitates the execution of their international agenda. The study identifies four main forms of social impact associated with Australian students’ learning abroad in the Indo-Pacific, perceived by the host communities: (a) strengthening bilateral and international ties; (b) fostering student-to-student, university-to-industry, and university-to-university partnerships; (c) strengthening community engagement through service-learning; and (d) enriching host organization’s training capacity, human resources, and awareness of their own values.

The role of universities as drivers of good practices and learning has changed radically in recent years. The strategic plan of the Comillas Pontifical University establishes the obligation of a learning and service subject in all degree programs as a way to put what has been learned during the university years at the service of society and as a vehicle for promoting the Sustainable Development Goals set by the 2030 Agenda. In this article we will present the theoretical framework on which the project has been developed, including the university context in which it fits, to analyze the process of design and implementation of a service-learning course in engineering degrees, selecting as case studies two examples of projects in which the social impact was high. As conclusions we will present the strengths and weaknesses of the implementation process, as well as the students’ learning based on their experiences.

This paper highlights three aspirations, which are shared by the diverse concepts and practices of responsible research and innovation (RRI): co-creation, reflexivity, and transformation. The authors analyse a service-learning (SL) initiative at the University of Szeged, Hungary, based on the model by Chupp and Joseph (2010). This provides a typology of SL practices and identifies four main approaches to the social impact of SL: traditional, critical, social justice oriented, and institutional change-focused approach. The authors also use this model to analyse the effects of their initiative with regard to the RRI principles of co-creation, reflexivity, and transformation. They provide evidence that their SL course may reach beyond its traditional (student-learning-based) effects in the Hungarian context, and embrace social justice and critical approaches. While the authors also found certain instances of institutionalisation, embedding critical SL into a Hungarian university and inducing significant institutional transformation seems to be a long way away.
