Abstract

The aim of this thematic analysis is to understand in which contexts of higher education service-learning approach is implemented, and how much it is employed in the field of inclusion. Further objective of this thematic analysis is to understand what role within service-learning projects is reserved for students with special educational needs. Are students with disabilities only recipients of service-learning projects or are they actors and promoters? Are service-learning experiences promoting these student’s agency?

 

Service-learning e inclusione nei contesti universitari. Una thematic analysis.

Lo scopo della thematic analysis è capire in quali contesti accademici viene implementato il service-learning, e quanto è impiegato nel campo dell’inclusione. Ulteriore obiettivo è comprendere quale ruolo viene riservato agli studenti con bisogni educativi speciali all’interno dei progetti di service-learning. Gli studenti con disabilità sono solo destinatari di progetti di service-learning o ne sono attori e promotori? Le esperienze di service-learning promuovono l’agency personale di questi studenti?
