Abstract

It is necessary a pedagogic view in the general and university education. A service focused to a social group should have a minimal quality, specially with elderly people. The service-learning (S-L) helps to understand the contents of courses which are teached in real contexts, developing social and educative skills. Physical exercise provides healthy and educative experiences, helping to decrease the negative consequences of bad nutrition, psychologic problems, etc. Furthermore, several authors define the S-L as a useful method to introduce physical exercise as important content if we want to highlight the solidarity, support in a community or cooperation. However, the aim of the present study is offering a different teaching point of view. The students will learn in a real context, as well as there is an improvement in the social, politic or physical factors in the elderly people.
