Throughout this work it presents the structure, the work methodology, lines of action and generation of knowledge for the development of Intervention Project, as well as the delivery process reports of Social Service for distance students can fulfill in a timely manner with this institutional and social commitment.

El Servicio Social Universitario Y El Currículum Flexible: Retos Para La Formación Integral

“…Ahora bien, pese a la trayectoria y visibilidad del SS no todas las IES en México cuentan con una clara política para su desarrollo, y sus normatividades son diversas dada la interacción de varias instituciones con características y misiones tendencialmente heterogéneas (ANUIES, 2006;RUIZ, 2010). Bien entrado el siglo XXI el SS continúa enfrentando numerosos retos asociados con las expectativas de los estudiantes, los académicos y con las cambiantes condiciones del entorno en que lo realizan (AMAYA; RAMOS; CASTILLO, 2017;ESCALANTE;JIMÉNEZ;CASO, 2018;RUEDA;ACOSTA;CUEVA, 2020). En la actual transición política y social de México y otros países de América Latina, con el ascenso de la educación virtual, con la diversificación de opciones profesionales y tomando como referencia la crisis educativa planteada por la pandemia del Covid-19 es urgente analizar la manera en que las IES cumplen con el principio de responsabilidad y vinculación social por medio del SS universitario.…”
