Education Model

The chapter highlights the endogenous strengths that humans have of exposing society to sustainable change. At birth, humans bring with them a triptych code including, the social, emotional and spiritual, that needs to be further developed. Those non-cognitive skills that schooling should instill are possible via service learning education. Through education, individual citizens are enthused with harmonious cognitive and non-cognitive skills which are positive, inclusive, humane, in harmony with life and circumstances. In the current complex and uncertain economy, this education model is directed at social responsibility, social innovation, citizenship, personal and social commitment. Being holistic, multi-focused and dynamic, it brings together learning, service and the economy. This learning- teaching model aligns with an intellectual and humanized society; entails two simultaneous objectives, pedagogical and community collaboration; focuses on real circumstances, deals with community-identified needs, solidarity, cooperation, harmony and commitment.

This paper presents a study of university social responsibility (USR), carried out through an innovative educational action. The students of the studied classrooms in the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) collaborated with a social entity Emmaus Social Foundation dedicated to environmental sustainability, social justice and the social and solidarity economy to provide community services through a service-learning methodology. Using a mixed method approach, we combined the practical experience of the social entity with an active student-centred teaching methodology in order to foster the acquisition of general and specific competencies related to sustainability and social justice. The aim was to create learning connections between members of the university community and links with the environmental and social reality of the Basque Country. This pilot study was carried out in the first term of the 2018–2019 academic year. This work allowed (a) critical knowledge to be generated by incorporating and hybridising discussion elements of social justice, such as sustainability; (b) intergenerational participation processes to be generated between elders, university students and social organisations in order to acquire general and specific learning competencies and (c) social and environmental needs to be addressed through community services.   Keywords: Higher education, intergenerational learning, service-learning, teaching innovation, university social responsibility.

The need of ecological and demographic equilibrium demands implementation of social investments, including business within realization of corporate social responsibility that, in turn, needs validity of calculations for the assessment of efficiency and effectiveness of the respective projects. Nowadays, many companies develop their own techniques of the social projects’ assessment, which can use the same parameter, but measure it in another way. And in this sense, they often become incomparable. The main contents of the concept of the corporate social responsibility are stated, and the existing indicators and approaches to the assessment of corporate social responsibility of business are considered in the article. The dynamics of the development of corporate social responsibility in Russia is also presented in the article. The methodical approach to the efficiency of the investments carried out by business and aimed at the development of workers, local community and ecology is the result of the research. These results can be used for the assessment of the efficiency of the projects implemented by business within corporate social responsibility.

The role of universities as drivers of good practices and learning has changed radically in recent years. The strategic plan of the Comillas Pontifical University establishes the obligation of a learning and service subject in all degree programs as a way to put what has been learned during the university years at the service of society and as a vehicle for promoting the Sustainable Development Goals set by the 2030 Agenda. In this article we will present the theoretical framework on which the project has been developed, including the university context in which it fits, to analyze the process of design and implementation of a service-learning course in engineering degrees, selecting as case studies two examples of projects in which the social impact was high. As conclusions we will present the strengths and weaknesses of the implementation process, as well as the students’ learning based on their experiences.

La COVID-19 ha sido una oportunidad de mejora en la docencia de la asignatura de Responsabilidad Social en la UFV. La urgente necesidad de que los medios de comunicación informen con veracidad ha adquirido mayor relevancia durante la pandemia y eso es algo que ha de aprenderse ya desde la Universidad. La formación en valores como la ética y la justicia social de los estudiantes de periodismo también puede hacerse a través del aprendizaje-servicio en línea. Se procede a hacer un descriptivo de la asignatura, así como su adaptación curricular por el confinamiento utilizando nuevos recursos. Realizamos un análisis cualitativo, mediante Atlas.ti sobre el material producido por los estudiantes, para mostrar cómo estos se han convertido en agentes de cambio social. La principal consecuencia es el aumento significativo del grado de responsabilidad social del universitario durante la pandemia mediante formas de comunicación diferentes a las habituales. La pandemia ha supuesto una oportunidad para replantear la asignatura y ha enriquecido la experiencia del universitario en la búsqueda de soluciones colaborativas y de ayuda, reforzando su compromiso social con el bien común a través de las nuevas tecnologías. COVID-19 has been an opportunity to improve the teaching of Social Responsibility at the UFV. The pandemic has increased the urgency of trustworthy mass media and that is something to be taught at University. Training in values such as ethics and social justice for journalism students can also be done through online service-learning. We proceed to make a description of the subject, as well as its curricular adaptation using new resources due to confinement. We carry out a qualitative analysis, applying Atlas.ti on the material produced by the students, to show how they have become agents of social change. The main consequence is the significant increase in the degree of social responsibility of the university student during the pandemic through different forms of communication from the usual ones. The pandemic has provided an opportunity to rethink the subject and has enriched the experience of the university student in the search for collaborative solutions and help, reinforcing their social commitment to the common good through on line learning.

The purpose of this paper is to provide conceptual insights as to the social dimension of businesses and how it fits into the principles of strategic management of for-profit enterprise. This issue is analyzed with reference to the three paradigms of corporate social responsibility (CSR), social innovation, and corporate social innovation (CSI). Although there have been many studies and a great deal of research on these issues, the qualitative and quantitative analyses done so far have generally analyzed the three paradigms separately, while there has been no analysis of the logical links among them. After identifying CSI as the link in the chain between CSR and social innovation, this paper poses the question of what linkage exists between the two paradigms of CSI and CSR, and in particular of whether CSI integrates, develops, or replaces CSR. In terms of method, the paper is conceptually developed on the basis of the prevailing international literature and secondary data.

Access To Data

With the benefit of globalization and access to data, unceremonious populations came to use social platforms largely used by several ages. Nonetheless, natural problems have been triggering universal effects, just as concerns of social feebleness. Natural mindfulness mixings new application propensities, performing another socially skilled stance. This analysis plans to separate the influence of relational organizations on natural mindfulness and the social responsibility of several ages. We employ the structure of the quantitative and distinctive study, by approaching the Primary Condition Establishing. The results feature that people who are presented with data (recordings, photographs, messages) acknowledged with social commitment and natural supportability are impacted in the progress of social and ecological mindfulness. However, all ages familiarized the most marginal approaches for responses in the quest for data on natural and social issues. This is appropriate to society, presentation organizations, government offices, and organizations to advance deeds and data on social and ecological obligation and connect all Ages in maintainable development.
