“…The factors affecting low emotional intelligence of students in Ambon-Indonesia are related to the learning strategies used by teachers (Hegarty & Angelidis, 2015) and the practice of violence. If the teacher as a single speaker in learning has no or less interaction with students, the students will have difficulties in developing their emotional intelligence both intrapersonally and interpersonally.…”

Students have unique ways in managing the information in their learning process. VARK learning styles associated with memory are considered to have an effect on emotional intelligence. This quasi-experimental research was conducted to compare the emotional intelligence among the students having auditory, reading, and kinesthetic learning styles in elementary school in Ambon-Maluku. Emotional intelligence was measured by a questionnaire developed based on the theory of emotional intelligence according to Goleman (19 98). The learning style instrument was adapted from Fleming (2001). The results of this research show that learning styles have significant effect on emotional intelligence. Kinesthetic learners have a higher emotional intelligence than those of the auditory and reading learners, as much as 8.35% and 6.11% respectively. This research recommends that schools and teachers need to provide a conducive learning environment, including utilizing constructivist learning strategies which are appropriate with the development of the elementary school students. Further researches are required to investigate the changes of the students' learning styles along with their development into higher education levels, and its effect on their emotional intelligence.

“…Notwithstanding the aforementioned constraints, to which we associate the "creative destruction", the service learning features gains in terms of personal, cognitive, interpersonal, social and moral development, that have contributed to increasing considerably the studies on the service-learning in recent decades (Hegarty and Angelidis, 2015;Wang and Rodgers, 2006). Celio et al (2011) consider that the service learning must be part of the academic curriculum because evidence demonstrates that the involved students have significant gains of attitudes about themselves, toward the university, others and the community and they become richer in social skills, humanised leadership and empathy.…”

The teaching-learning methodologies based on service learning are examples of social and curricular innovation to improve well-being, integration and social cohesion. An academic curriculum based on service-learning rests upon a structured interdisciplinary. It produces creative plasticity, which enhances the production of creative personal, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual knowledge. However, the curricula available within the Undergraduate Degree Programmes in Economics are still based on dominant economic models that favour quantitative approaches. We focus on the introduction of Service Learning into the academic curriculum, as an instrument of humanisation of the teaching of economics. The study uses qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, whilst resorting to group interviews with content analysis. All participants are faculty and researchers of Economics of the University of Minho. The results underline the importance of the humanisation concept of the economy. They underline the need for the establishment of interactions between the university, the students and the community, whose effects are spreading to the increase in social responsibility, leadership and economic sustainability. Nevertheless, it still prevails some apprehension on the part of teachers about their operationalisation and success.

“…It is a learning methodology that involves the student and the community in a process of mutual interdisciplinary development and facilitates the access to knowledge (Tiger and Parker, 2011;Kenworthy-U ʹ Ren & Peterson, 2005;Mpofu, 2007;Al-Rashid and Walker, 2004;Conway, Amel & Gerwien, 2009). It creates social capital (Laura, 2014), fights poverty (Ebrahim, 2012), commits students with fairness (Heffernan, 2001), promotes social justice (Wang and Rodgers, 2006) and it renders students ever more altruists (Hegarty and Angelidis, 2015).…”

The Service Learning is an articulated, consistent and coordinated teaching-learning methodology. It resorts to unique assumptions, integrates the learning of technical and scientific knowledge with the personal, social and community development. This methodology permits the student to realise interdisciplinary work and produce plasticity on his/her creativity whilst producing cognitive, personal, social, emotional and transcendental knowledge. This process allows for the development of interpersonal, intrapersonal relations, communication, it fosters joint work and networking, leadership, cooperation and negotiation, personal effectiveness, self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-motivation.It also sensitises students to address humanitarian issues and for the everyday life of the community and social responsibility. This study reflects on the importance of teaching-learning methodology based on Service Learning and it discusses the relevance of its inclusion in the academic curriculum. It uses qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, favouring group interviews with content analysis.
