This paper presents a review of literature researched with the aim to highlight the relationship between the educational proposal of Service-Learning and teachers and educators, in terms of personal and professional transformation. This review took place during the first explorative part of a doctoral study. The research was conducted using four different databases (Eric, Web of Science, Scopus and the university of Florence library system, SBA Unifi). The software used for it was Endnote. The 58 full-text papers included (60 studies), show three categories detected: the most numerous is the category of future teachers (n=49); few studies concern in-service teachers (n=4), while seven studies concern both the two categories. Educators are totally absent by the results. Analyzing the main findings of each study, the transformative potential of SL is in evidence.   La trasformazione dei docenti mediante la formazione e l’esperienza del service-learning: una revisione della letteratura. Questo contributo presenta una revisione della letteratura, effettuata allo scopo di evidenziare la relazione tra la proposta educativa del Service-Learning (SL) e docenti e educatori, in termini di trasformazione personale e professionale. La revisione si colloca nella prima fase esplorativa di un progetto di dottorato. La ricerca è stata effettuata utilizzando quattro differenti database (Eric, Web of science, Scopus, e il portale del sistema bibliotecario di ateneo, lo SBA dell’Università di Firenze) mediante l’utilizzo del software Endote. I 58 articoli esaminati, contenenti 60 studi, mostrano tre categorie di studi: la più numerosa riguarda studi su futuri docenti (n=49); pochi studi hanno riguardato docenti in servizio (n=4), mentre sette studi hanno riguardato entrambe le tipologie di docenti. Gli educatori risultano assenti dai risultati della revisione. Analizzando i principali risultati di ogni singolo studio, si evidenzia la potenzialità trasformativa del SL.

The poster describes the first phase of a research on the impact of Service-Learning on in-service and future teachers and educators, as mentioned in the research questions. This study started with a literacy review about Service-Learning, in both national and international framework. The Italian way of Service-Learning has been further investigated, using the work of Don Milani as a cultural reference. The research continued with an analysis of the normative and national literature about this approach. It is followed by a systematic review concerning the research questions, making use of Prisma statement. Four different databases were used for the investigation. As result of using a list of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 60 studies were eligible for full text analysis. The results underlined a lack of studies focusing on the Italian context, and a strong unbalance between studies concerning in-service teachers and pre-teachers. Results will orient the empiric part of the research for future steps.
