Spanish Book on Service-Learning Awarded as ‘Book of the Year’ by IARSLCE

For the first time, the IARSLCE (International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement, https://www.iarslce.org/) awarded a book in Spanish as publication of the year.

The work Aprendizaje-servicio virtual. Marco teórico y propuestas de acción innovadoras [E-Service-Learning. Theoretical framework and innovative proposals for action] honored a compilation of international contributions edited by Juan García-Gutiérrez and Marta Ruiz-Corbella, from the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia in Spain, and published by Narcea.

The award was presented at the Association’s annual conference in San Diego, USA. María Rosa Tapia, coordinator of the Uniservitate programme (CLAYSS), received the award on behalf of the compilers, as she is one of the authors of the award-winning book.

The book contains ten chapters authored by 25 contributors, including the coordinators of the Uniservitate programme, Maria Rosa Tapia and Andres Peregalli, alongside a member of the Academic Sounding Board, Maria Cinque (LUMSA, Italy).

The IARSLCE Board highlighted that “the book offers an innovative and insightful perspective on e-service-learning, addressing crucial issues such as effective project implementation, result assessment and the connection between academic learning and social engagement, as well as different examples of institutionalization”.
