Main Article Content
Abstract
This experience of Learning-Service (LS) sought to connect the academic training of the students of the Master's Degree in Teacher Training of Secondary Education (PETE) of the specialty of Physical Education with the needs of a vulnerable group, (Minors with judicial measures); and understand the perception of PETE on the effects of the experience. Nine university students (6 men and 3 women) and eleven inmates (7 men and 4 women) participated. To analyze the incidence of the experience, a focus group was developed, the PETE portfolio was analyzed, and an ad hoc scale was subsequently validated (Santos-Pastor et al., 2020). The results indicate that the ApS enables an experiential and reflective environment that positively affects not only the deepening of academic and professional learning, but also personal and social development. As well as the doubts of the PETE about the transfer to his professional field.
