Revista de Pedagogía JA - Bordón VL - 71 IS - 3 SE - Artículos DO - 10.13042/Bordon.2019.72003 UR - https://recyt.fecyt.es/index.php/BORDON/article/view/72003 SP - 27-43 AB - <strong>INTRODUCTION</strong>. Service learning is a pedagogy that can achieve civic competences for learners to participate effectively in culturally diverse democratic societies.  <strong>METHODOLOGY.</strong>  A qualitative analysis of research evidence is examined for why service learning provides the optimal pedagogy for achieving democratic competences and civic learning.  Civic-mindedness provides a set of common civic learning objectives that can guide both curricular service learning courses and co-curricular civic programs at multiple levels (course, department, school, campus, multicampus). <strong>RESULTS</strong>.  Past meta-analyses are consistent in establishing service learning as an effective means for enhancing civic learning outcomes.  Research on Civic-Minded Graduate and Civic-Minded Professional demonstrates their usefulness to provide an integrative framework for civic learning outcomes that can guide the design, implementation, and assessment of both curricular service learning courses and co-curricular civic programs at multiple levels (course, department, school, campus, multicampus).  <strong>DISCUSSION.</strong>  Institutions of higher learning can accept the challenge to enhance civic learning through service learning, co-curricular programs focused on civic outcomes, and other effective, high-impact pedagogies to enhance long-term habits of community engagement that contribute to the public good.  A key component of developing civic learning, in addition to high quality course design, is providing opportunities for dialogue and collaboration with diverse others.
