Abstract: Service-learning (SL) is the subject of a growing number of studies and is becoming
increasingly popular in physical education teacher education (PETE) programs. The objective
of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the implementation of SL programs with
PETE students. The databases used were Web of Science, SPORTDiscus (EBSCO), and SCOPUS.
Articles were selected on the basis of the following criteria: (a) published in a peer-reviewed journal;
(b) covers the use of SL programs with PETE students; (c) relates to physical education or physical
 activity programs; (d) availability of a full-text version in English and/or Spanish. Thirty-two

articles met the inclusion criteria. Two types of findings were observed: firstly, findings relating

Service-learning (SL) has been defined in multiple ways. The common thread running
through these definitions is that SL is a methodological strategy that involves a program or
a support service provided by students to the community. This methodology is widely used
in university education, specifically in training physical education teacher education (PETE)

Carson and Raguse [7] state that SL is an ideal strategy for universities and PETE
student training to achieve three main objectives: teaching, research, and service provision.
SL gives rise to educational experiences that enrich academic study, promote social engage-
ment, and enhance professional and personal skills [8,9]. A number of studies analyze
SL for PETE students [10–12]. Within the areas of physical education (PE) and physical
activity (PA), Carson and Raguse [7] explain that there is a wide range of SL services for
PETE students: athletic training programs [13]; recreation [14,15]; health education and
promotion [16,17]; rehabilitation and therapy [18,19]; sports management and PE [20].
A number of systematic reviews have focused on SL methodology across different
disciplines, such as university social responsibility [21], nursing [22], scientific produc-
tion [23], and medical education [24]. For instance, a systematic review [7] covered three
types of publications: research, overviews of SL programs, and implementation in youth
physical activity settings published from 1990 to 2012. Another review [25] on physical
education and sports science included publications such as descriptions of educational
experiences, research articles, and conceptual papers. To the best of our knowledge, there
are no systematic reviews focusing solely on the implementation of SL programs with
PETE students.
Research on SL for PETE students has become increasingly prominent as a training
resource for students in recent years. Due to its practical nature, there are numerous
publications on the use of SL with this group, but only a few have centred around the im-
plementation of PE programs, included scientific data, or been published in peer-reviewed
journals.
The results of the implementation of SL with PETE students tend to relate to three
main elements: the students themselves, the community, and the SL program [26,27].
However, many existing studies focus solely on analyzing students, overlooking commu-
nity participants and the SL program itself. Some authors also establish subcategories
within the analysis of students [28], who analyzed academic, personal, social, and civic
characteristics [6,27,29].
Studies on SL for PETE students continue to be published, but there is no consensus
as to their objectives. There is a need to determine whether SL really works and whether
the results obtained from these interventions are positive. To this end, this review provides
the levels of evidence of a selection of existing studies and analyses the duration of the
interventions, the research methodology used, and the focus of the research: students,
the community, or the SL program.
The purpose of this systematic review is twofold. Firstly, it aims to analyze the
characteristics of studies on the implementation of SL programs with PETE students
that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and to identify their objectives: to
assess the benefits for students and/or community participants, and/or to evaluate the
effectiveness and/or quality of the SL programs themselves. Based on the literature
reviewed, our second objective was to propose guidelines to help the scientific community
to improve the implementation and quality of SL interventions in PETE.

2. Materials and Methods


2.1. Search Strategy
The search process was carried out following the protocol outlined in the PRISMA
statement. A comprehensive search was conducted in the following databases: Web of
Science (WOS), SPORTDiscus (EBSCO), and SCOPUS. Individual searches of all peer-
reviewed studies published between 2013 and 2020 were performed. An 8-year window
was applied to include only the most recent studies involving the implementation of SL
with PETE students. The last search was conducted in November 2020. Search terms
synonymous with “service learning” were used in combination with the search terms
“physical activity” and “physical education”. Searches were conducted in English and
Spanish. Only original articles were included in this study.

2.3. Data Extraction and Reliability


Data extraction was carried out independently and consistently by two reviewers
(A.N. and R.P-O), who read all the titles and abstracts. Discrepancies were discussed until a
consensus was reached. The studies were summarized, and the potentially relevant papers
were screened for retrieval. Pilot test forms were used to extract data from the studies.
Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2021, 18, 669 4 of 27

A content analysis of the articles included in this review was also performed. Subsequently,
the data were discussed and confirmed by the researchers. The following categories were
defined a priori using the method suggested by Harris et al. [31]: authors; journal; year;
name of study; location; objectives; sample size; participant profile; duration of study; data
sources; methodological analysis; results.

2.4. Quality Assessment and Level of Evidence


The criteria for assessing the quality of the studies included were adapted to the
Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement [32] as used by Pozo,
Grao-Cruces, and Pérez-Ordás [33]. The quality assessment criteria were: (a) the SL
intervention was implemented with PETE students; (b) the number of participants in the
study; (c) the journal in which the article was published is included in the Journal Citation
Reports; (d) the duration of implementation; (e) a description of the methodological process
was included. Each item was rated from 0 to 2, as shown in Table 1. The overall quality
of each study was assessed by adding the number of positive elements together (with the
overall score ranging from 0 to 10). Studies with a total score of 7 or higher were considered
to be of high quality (HQ); studies with a total score of 4–6 were considered to be of
average quality (AQ); studies with a total score lower than 4 were considered to be of
low quality (LQ). Quality was assessed by two reviewers independently. Discrepancies
in the assessment of the studies were discussed by the two reviewers until a consensus
was reached.
The risk of bias is difficult to ascertain in qualitative, social science studies. Version
5.1.0 of the Cochrane handbook emphasizes that, in many situations, it is not practical or
possible to blind participants or study staff in the intervention group.

3. Results
3.1. Duration of the Intervention Programs
The duration of the interventions ranged from 2 weeks [55] to 4 years [48]. In some
studies, the exact duration of the intervention was specified, as in Ruiz et al. [54] who indi-
cate that SL intervention was structured in two 40-min weekly sessions and was 10-weeks
long.

3.2. Methodology and Analysis


The interventions included in this review followed three distinctive methodological
approaches: qualitative (21/31), quantitative (2/31) and mixed (9/31). Studies analyz-
ing the results from PETE students used all three types of methodology. Five studies
used experimental and control groups: Chiva-Bartoll et al. [40], Chiva-Bartoll et al. [29],
and Capella et al. [38] used a mixed methods approach, while Chiva-Bartoll et al. [42]
and Willard and Crandall [58] used quantitative methods.
In qualitative studies, both inductive and deductive study designs were found (21).
Several data collection procedures, including interviews (10), self-reflection journals (13),
reflective reports (5), focus groups (8), literature reviews (1), videos (3), life stories or
biographical records (2), observations and field notes (6), and observation sheets (3),
were used. Questionnaires intended for trainees were used in the only study adopting
quantitative methods [58]. Mixed methods were also employed (9). The instruments used
were questionnaires (8), interviews (5), self-reflection journals (4), reflective reports (4),
literature reviews (1), life stories or biographical records (2), observations and field notes (1),
focus group (1) and test (1). The most frequently used instruments in these designs were
questionnaires analyzing the skills acquired by PETE students.

3.3. Summary of the Results


The objectives of the different studies focused on: the benefits of SL programs for
PETE students; the benefits of SL programs for the community and the effectiveness and
quality of the SL programs.
The most common objective in studies on SL for PETE students was to analyze how
SL affected PETE students’ training. A total of 30 studies analyzed the influence of SL on
PETE students (29/31); however, other studies had a twofold objective: they also analyzed
the benefits of SL programs for community participants (4/31) or the quality of the SL
program (3/31).

3.3.1. The Benefits of SL Programs for PETE Students (29/31)


The total number of PETE students in the SL interventions was 1872, ranging from
4 [26,36] to 346 [27].
Three types of benefits for PETE students’ skills were identified in the studies: 1. pro-
fessional skills; 2. social and personal skills and 3. other.

Professional Skills (21/31)


The studies focusing on the effects of SL for PETE students analyzed professional
skills training (21/31), including generic, academic and professional skills. Lamoneda [49]
observed improvements to communication, planning, and organizational skills.
With regards to the pedagogical skill of reflective teaching, improvements in technical
content and methodological strategies were also identified [27,36]. Capella et al. [36]
indicated that SL improved future training, awareness of the value of practical training, and
learning about PETE practice (conflict management, adaptability, feedback, and evaluation).
SL contributed to the learning of participating students in general [48,50,57].
Heo et al. [48] found that students acquired a greater understanding of the subject, an im-
proved ability to analyze problems, and improved skills and classroom material resources
for application to real problems. Wilkinson et al. [57] confirmed that participants learned
to combine theory and practice and that the project had a positive impact on their profes-

sional development as a result of their participation in applied learning, their work in a


multidisciplinary environment, and their support of the community.
Capella et al. [38,39] compared the development of teaching competence among PETE
students using two intervention methods from the same SL program. Two groups of
PETE students exhibited significant differences in their dedication to the SL program in
terms of duration and intensity. The authors provided significant evidence of enhanced
teaching competence among students with greater dedication to the SL program. In the
same vein, Marttinen et al. [11], Galván et al. [46], and Du Toit [44] concluded that the SL
program improved students’ pedagogical knowledge and professional skills. Franco-Solà
and Figueras [45] assessed teaching skills using the Framework for 21st Century Learning
and found that SL helped to improve cognitive, emotional, and social competences among
PETE students.
Other studies assessed the acquisition of professional skills from SL with specific pop-
ulations (17/31) such as cognitively impaired individuals [52,55], children with disabilities
special educational needs [27,34,38,39,43,45,59] children with attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder [51], others diversity as cultural dimension, low SES schools, disadvantaged pop-
ulation, minority groups [10,11,35,42,47,52] and older adults [54,58]. Surprisingly, Willard
and Crandall [58] found no increase in students’ knowledge of PA and attitudes towards PA
with older adults. When comparing the SL intervention with the control groups, the main
effect was not statistically significant, with both groups showing no significant increase in
their knowledge of ageing (λ = 0.979, F(1,24) = 0.531, p = 0.473, = 0.021).
Chiva-Bartoll et al. [41] studied children with special educational needs and obtained
an inclusive, critical educational experience that allowed them to link theory and practice
in a particularly effective way. In turn, Ruiz et al. [54] reported findings related to academic
and professional learning when working with older adults.

Social (18/31) and Personal Skills (8/31)


Other objectives were to assess the acquisition of social attitudes and skills and
personal skills. The studies focusing on these objectives are shown in Table 2.
According to Capella et al. [26], SL promotes the development of social skills and moral
values. These authors concluded that SL also promotes the development of students’ critical
thinking, reflective capacity, and skills such as conflict management and flexibility. Chiva-
Bartoll et al. [40] found that the two experimental groups significantly improved their social
skills and attitudes, unlike the control group. Statistically significant differences between
the pre-test and the post-test results for the two experimental groups were found: t(40) = 2.9;
p < 0.05 for experimental group I and t(40) = 5.98; p < 0.05 for experimental group II.
As expected, no significant differences between the pre-test and the post-test results for
the control group were found: t(40) = 1.11; p > 0.05. Chiva-Bartoll et al. [29] also found
significant differences (t(106) = 2.94; p < 0.05) in the overall results of the experimental group
in the Effective Personality Test for University Students (in which ‘effective personality’ is
understood as a construct whereby personality traits are related to effective behaviours in
professional or academic contexts). Heo et al. [48] found that PETE students developed
their empathy skills with SL. These students built relationships with older adults (their
community participants) and were less likely to hold negative stereotypes towards them.
By contrast, Lamoneda [49] analyzed PETE students’ friendliness, involvement, teamwork,
listening skills, and support during the SL program. According to Webster et al. [56], SL can
offer opportunities for PETE students to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes useful
for leadership roles. The results of Wilkinson et al. [57] suggest that SL is a contemporary
caring pedagogy that prepares future teachers for the realities and challenges of a changing
world. Willard and Crandall [58] assumed that contact with older adults would result in
more positive student attitudes and greater knowledge of ageing, but failed to find positive
results in this case. Finally, Martínez et al. [51] analyzed the influence of SL on students’
social participation and highlighted the importance of the latter among the impacts of the
SL methodology.

Chiva-Bartoll et al. [41,42] studied values, personal attitudes, and/or personal life
plans, concluding that SL promotes subjective happiness and pro-social attitudes [42].
Ruiz et al. [54] analyzed social sensitivity and disconfirmation of negative stereotypes,
satisfaction and personal growth, and desire for social justice, resulting in relevant items
for PETE students. Capella et al. [37] reported that SL promoted social entrepreneurship
skills in PETE, which represents a highly valuable, innovative educational experience on a
personal and social level. Bruce [35] pointed out that SL helps students to become more
open and ethically responsible towards others.

Other (8/31)
Two studies analyzed changes in PETE students’ identities [27,51]. According to their
results, SL is a source of positive feelings that prompt change in students and their values,
one of the most prominent of which is empathy.
Martínez et al. [51], Peralta et al. [53], and Lleixà and Ríos [50] studied the acquisition
of cultural training and understanding (3/31). Martínez et al. [51] concluded that SL also
helped students to overcome stereotypes, contextualize their training, learn to approach
PE as a resource for social intervention, and improve their communication and decision-
making skills. Peralta et al. [53] reported that PETE students’ perception of their cultural
competence had also improved. Differences in pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their

cultural competence had improved from baseline (M = 59.59; SD = 8.25) to follow-up


(M = 69.89; SD = 8.70) and were statistically significant (t(54) = −6.81; p < 0.001). Gil-
Gómez et al. [27] found that PETE students showed a limited understanding of cultural
competence. In turn, Lleixà and Ríos [50] viewed the experience as highly positive, as it
exposed students to a reality that is often socially stigmatized and difficult to access.
Ruiz et al. [54] analyzed social sensitivity and disconfirmation of negative stereotypes,
satisfaction and personal growth, and desire for social justice. In turn, Capella et al. [37]

students. In this case, positive views and emotions prevailed among students. The joy
of feeling valued and loved by children, as well as welcomed and respected by teachers,
was particularly emphasized. Negative emotions became positive, which helped students
to build their professional identity through reflection and self-criticism.

3.3.2. The Benefits of SL Programs for the Community


Only four studies focused on community participants, but their objective was twofold:
to analyze the benefits of SL programs for PETE students and the community [46,50,54,56].
These studies analyzed elementary and middle school participants, older adults, youth,
staff, and parents from a school and inmates.
There are no studies exclusively assessing members of the community. The number
of participants in the SL programs studied here could not be specified because most of
the studies did not report or study them, or because they varied depending on the day or
session [50,56,60].
There were different types of participants: people with special educational needs
(15/31); people with other special characteristics (victims of disasters, individuals of
low socioeconomic status, specific ethnic groups) (8/31); primary and secondary school
children (3/31); the school community as a whole (staff, students, and parents) (1/31);
elderly people (3/31); prisoners (1/31); and others (1/31).
Regarding the implementation of an SL program at a school, Webster et al. [56]
concluded that SL was a viable strategy to increase opportunities for promoting PA among
children, staff, and parents. The benefits of SL for prisoners in Lleixà and Ríos [50]
related primarily to the impact of PA and sport on their socialization, communication,
and personal skills. This study found that SL provided prisoners with the sense of optimism
needed to overcome their deprivation of liberty while also keeping them in touch with
reality, helping them to release tension, increasing their expressive abilities, giving them a
break from their routines, and other benefits related to hygiene and motor and physical
improvements. Ruiz et al. [54] identified four emerging categories among the benefits of
SL with older adults: disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, improvement of physical
function, satisfaction and desire of continuity, and social interaction.

3.3.3. The Effectiveness and Quality of the SL Programs


Three studies analyzed the effectiveness of SL programs [10,49,52]. Lamoneda [49]
focused on whether a sports recreation program during school break times was providing
a good quality service. The following elements were assessed: teachers, facilities, activities,
and relationships with staff. In the overall assessment, the sports promotion services
were considered to be acceptable (3.42 ± 0.5). Regarding the sports initiation program,
there was room for improvement with regard to its duration (2.69 ± 0.9) and the number
of sessions per week (2.44 ± 1.1). In the sports entertainment program, satisfactory results
were obtained for all items. The overall evaluation of the sports promotion services
suggested that the activity was good (4.11 ± 0.6). The aspects to be improved in the sports
entertainment program included updating the activities (3.67 ± 0.7) and increasing the
number of sessions (3.78 ± 0.8). MacPhail and Sohun [10] studied a course-embedded SL
project in a physical education teacher education program to provide a broader, potentially
more critical view of the experience, knowledge, and learning related to our effort to link
service and learning. They concluded that linking academic coursework with community

service structured through reflective practice is a challenge, and that there is a need to
invest more time so that PETE teachers and students engage in dialogue with one another
focusing specifically on SL. Santos et al. [52] addressed the limitations of SL in the training
of PETE students. They concluded the following: there is a lack of training in project
design, implementation, and evaluation; SL places a heavy workload on PETE students
and teachers; it is difficult to coordinate everyone involved.

4. Discussion
The purpose of this systematic review was twofold: to analyze the characteristics of
studies on the implementation of SL programs with PETE students and, in view of the
shortcomings identified, to propose future lines of research on SL in PETE. The results from
the first study objective can be grouped into three categories: the benefits of SL programs
for PETE students, the benefits of SL programs for the community, the effectiveness and
quality of the SL programs. In this review, most studies (29 studies) focused on students,
while four focused on community participants. Only three studies examined the effective-
ness and quality of services provided in the SL program. These data are consistent with
research in other areas, where the community is outside the scope of the study [7,80,81].
In addition, results focusing on PETE students were classified into three types of benefits
or skills: professional skills; social and personal skills; and other skills (identity, vocational
skills, cultural competence, emotions, etc.). This classification is very similar to that used
by other authors [51], who refer to skills as competencies. This review found that 28 of
the 31 selected studies reported positive results in the acquisition of professional, social,
and personal skills by PETE students. These data are in line with the conclusions of meta-
analyses of SL programs in other fields (nursing, medicine, social work) with participants
at different educational levels (primary, secondary, and higher education, and vocational
training) [82–84]. Celio et al. [82] conducted a meta-analysis of 62 studies with 11,837 stu-
dents who participated in SL interventions and made significant progress in five outcome
areas: personal and academic skills, attitudes towards school and learning, civic engage-
ment, and social engagement, all of which are consistent with the findings identified in this
study. SL helped to promote the development of social, moral, and personal skills, and the
findings in this review coincide with those of Yorio and Ye [84]. Their review of 40 studies
involving business and management scholars reported the effects of SL on understanding
social issues, social awareness and sensitivity, perception of disabled individuals, interper-
sonal skills, ethical and moral values, responsibility, community engagement, and personal
insight. The findings in this review are also consistent with Puig [85], who views SL as a
methodology promoting improved social relationships. This improvement occurs in the
following ways: through collaboration between colleagues in community service tasks,
by improving relationships between participants, by contributing to the common good,
and through citizen participation. SL enables a cultural shift towards values such as soli-
darity, social cohesion, equality, environmental engagement, and social responsibility. Only
one of the studies obtained unexpected results concerning the acquisition of knowledge
and attitudes towards PA with older adults [58]. Interestingly, this was one of the two
studies using a quantitative method. This raises the question of whether an exclusively
quantitative approach is appropriate for this type of research.
In this review, only four studies analyzed the benefits of SL programs for the commu-
nity. SL interventions proved to be positive for the community subjects, and their objectives
were achieved in all the cases studied. These data are consistent with those reported by
Doolittle and Rukavina [86] and Jones et al. [87]. It is clear that SL would be meaningless
without the contribution that it makes to the community [88]. Therefore, studies should
analyze whether the objectives for the community are met and whether the methods used
are appropriate to benefit community participants. Sallis [89] adds that, in order to achieve
real, tangible, long-lasting benefits, multi-level work strategies must be prioritized and
studies must include an analysis of the benefits for the community. Chiva et al. [90] argue
that evaluation of the social impact of SL has been neglected and propose a model for
evaluating the impact of SL in PETE, with special emphasis on its social dimension.
In this review, only three authors [10,49,52] analyzed the effectiveness of the SL
program and focused on assessing the quality of the service provided. Lamoneda [49],
assessed: teachers, facilities, activities, and relationships with staff. According to the
results, the duration of the program and the number of sessions needed to be improved,
corroborating the findings of Conway et al. [83], who examined the impact of specific
elements of the program (moderators) on the degree of change seen in participants. Other
Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2021, 18, 669 23 of 27

researchers also emphasize that the duration, structured reflections, and number of service
hours offered by SL programs should be improved [12]. In this vein, Eyler et al. [91] and
Tannenbaum and Berrett [92] list several sources demonstrating the benefits of increasing
the intensity and duration of SL programs [93]. In turn, Santos et al. [52] have designed
and validated a scale for evaluating SL programs with PETE students to standardize their
evaluation and validate their quality and effectiveness.
Regarding the second objective of this research, analysis of the results of the studies
has allowed us to identify several potential lines of work to ensure that SL programs in
PETE produce better outcomes for all stakeholders, which may become possible lines of
research. It is essential to analyze all the actors involved in SL programs in PETE. There is
a lack of research assessing community participants, which is consistent with studies [94],
who authored an article focusing exclusively on this shortcoming in SL programs. It seems
contradictory to implement programs with the aim of helping the community and neglect
to evaluate whether these objectives are actually attained. The effectiveness of SL is
only relevant if the community objectives are met [10,91], requiring examination of these
objectives in order to confirm this effectiveness. Lleixà and Ríos [50] concluded that their
experience demonstrated that interactive dialogue between the different stakeholders in SL
could actively promote collaborative learning. Blouin and Perry [95] noted that there is
a wealth of research reporting numerous pedagogical and personal benefits for students,
such as improved grades, greater civic engagement, and increased understanding and
appreciation of diversity, but there are few studies on the impact of SL on the community.
The quality of the program was only analyzed by three of the studies. We believe that
focusing on program quality would benefit both students and community participants
and that further research is required in this area. The quality of SL programs for PETE
students should be assessed as a determinant of their effectiveness. In addition, Blouin and
Perry [95] discuss obstacles to effective SL: problems related to student behaviour, lack of
communication between instructors, and problems in the organizations themselves. These
quality-related factors should also be considered and studied.
We observed significant heterogeneity in terms of the research methods and techniques
employed, as well as disadvantages in the use of exclusively quantitative methods. For this
reason, we believe that mixed methods are more appropriate. These data are consistent
with those observed in other systematic reviews [51], whose research focused on SL and its
interaction with university social responsibility. Only one in 24 studies used a quantitative
method [96]. Willard and Crandall [58] argue that future researchers should consider the
collection of qualitative data in the form of student reflections, as they are already a crucial
tool in the study of SL.
The limitations of this study are rather similar to those found in reviews of SL in other
fields, such as nursing, medicine, and social work. It is possible that only papers with
positive results were published. The strength of this study lies in its specific analysis of
the implementation of SL programs with PETE students, which had not yet been studied.
With regard to future lines of research, we propose the following: using mixed methods,
coordinating the different stakeholders, and studying community participants and the
quality of the programs themselves as well as students.

5. Conclusions
This article sought to analyze the benefits of SL programs for PETE students and it
is safe to say that, as a learning methodology, SL has excellent potential as a resource for
developing professional, personal, and social skills in PETE students. SL also promotes par-
ticipation in teaching by connecting future PE professionals to the realities and challenges
of a diverse and constantly evolving educational environment. This produces benefits for
the community and connects education to the real world. Teaching, research, and service
objectives can be accomplished by including all stakeholders in the SL process. With respect
to the guidelines to help the scientific community to improve the implementation and
quality of SL interventions in PETE, we believe that further studies are needed to analyze
Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2021, 18, 669 24 of 27

all three factors: PETE students, community participants, and program quality. There is a
need for a mixed research methodology that compiles contributions from all stakeholders.
The effectiveness of the studies should also be assessed via longer implementation periods,
as this could result in more objective, controlled measurements and more generalizable
findings.
