Abstract

Service-Learning (SL) is one of the most innovative approaches in education. This method seeks to apply the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom through services to the community. At the same time, the growing concern for more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural production systems has brought this reality into the classroom. Therefore, at the university level, there are experiences of SL with an agroecological perspective channeled through internships in companies in master's degree programs. This article aims to analyze whether the participation of these companies in SL activities has been a positive or negative strategy and whether its management has been carried out in a controlled manner. The Balanced Scorecard methodology will be used for this purpose. The results obtained are heterogeneous, being particularly good in the “customers” factor, but reaching worse figures for the “Learning and Growth” factor.
