Climate change and Service Learning in the light of Laudato Si: Reviewing Teacher’s Perceptions

Presented by: De La Salle University

Integral ecology is a concept introduced by Pope Francis in writing “Laudato Si (On Care for Our Common Home).” It is “integral” because the question of global warming that results in climate change is a shared issue of humanity. By integrating service learning in the curriculum, this can bring significant change in the preservation of the environment and reverse the effects of climate change. Service learning (SL) is introduced as an essential component in the formation of students to prepare them for lifelong learning. The aim of this study is to shed light to the understanding of “Laudato Si” and its relevance to climate change and service learning. The study also shows the perceptions of educators in their understanding about climate change and their response to make a better world.


La ecología integral es un concepto introducido por el Papa Francisco al escribir “Laudato Si (Sobre el cuidado de nuestra casa común)”. Es “integral” porque la cuestión del calentamiento global que resulta en el cambio climático es un problema compartido de la humanidad. Al integrar el aprendizaje en servicio en el plan de estudios, esto puede generar un cambio significativo en la preservación del medio ambiente y revertir los efectos del cambio climático. El aprendizaje a través del servicio (SL) se introduce como un componente esencial en la formación de los estudiantes para prepararlos para el aprendizaje permanente. El objetivo de este estudio es arrojar luz sobre la comprensión de “Laudato Si” y su relevancia para el cambio climático y el aprendizaje de servicios. El estudio también muestra las percepciones de los educadores sobre su comprensión del cambio climático y su respuesta para hacer un mundo mejor.
