Abstract

This article discusses the theoretical and methodological standards used to evaluate the processes of institutionalizing service-learning experiences in Argentine schools. It also presents the major findings of a study conducted in 2014 that focused on primary and secondary schools participating in the Solidarity Schools support program “Creer para Ver” (“Believe to See”). The author organizes the analysis of the institutionalization process according to three dimensions: (1) project trajectory, (2) support of institutional actors, and (3) insertion of service-learning in daily school practices.
