Workshop school programs. A conceptual approximation to service learning educational model

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Workshop Schools are educational programs for young people that develop a Technical School towards employment since 1985. These programs use mainly practical methodologies through the fulfillment of works and services that respond to social needs. On the other hand, the service-learning is presented as an educational model which methodology has tested educational advantages. The presence of common features between both methodologies can lead to the thought that Workshop School programs are one of the programs that use the Service-Learning educational model, and therefore, they are a valid option to be used by Career Guidance Counseling in Secondary Education Centres.
