Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Learning Service on the teaching-learning process and the academic development of second-year high school students at the Ecuadorian Dutch Educational Unit during the academic year 2023-2024. A quantitative and descriptive approach was employed, using surveys and academic performance evaluations. The results show a significant improvement in students' cognitive and psychosocial development, supported by a positive perception of teachers regarding the effectiveness of Learning Service. The conclusions highlight the importance of integrating innovative educational strategies that promote meaningful learning and students' social engagement. Increased implementation of Learning Service in the school curriculum is recommended to strengthen students' social and cognitive skills.
