Abstract
This paper is aimed at finding the relationship between the implementation of Service-Learning programs at the university level, and students’ academic performance. To this end, first, service-learning should be understood as an effective teaching practice from an academic point of view, and a literature review should be carried out to understand the impact that this methodology has on students’ academic performance. Thus, an international literature review is performed, due to the limited scope that this approach had so far in our country, where most research studies focused particularly on the civic and social dimension.
