A guide for Service Learning Institutionalization of a career

STAGE I I I DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL

STEP 1: DEFINITION OF TRANSVERSAL SKILLS

Considering the graduate profile of the university and career, it is important not only to focus on the approach to curricular learning objectives when understanding the SL methodology, but also to contemplate the development of transversal skills related to these profiles. Many times educational institutions focus on the mere approach of technical-theoretical contents, forgetting certain skills needed today to performa good job as professionals (Tuning Project, 2003).

Therefore, for the first step it is important to consider which transversal skills will be developed from the SL methodology for the compliance of the graduate profile of the career. Establishing the commitment to these skills development allows not only to better develop the learning objectives of the courses, but also to prepare the student for the challenges of the present working world, since they make it easier to develop fluently and with great commitment in it.
