Over time, many authors have conducted research on Service-Learning (ApS), which has received various designations such as proposal, methodology, experience, or solidarity practice, whether educational, pedagogical, collaborative, experiential, among others. Regardless of its name, the key focus lies in understanding how teaching and learning occur with and from the community, through interventions that facilitate transformations in businesses, entrepreneurship, informal economy, contributing to their formalization process.
The objective of this article is to present an approach to a model that integrates Kolb's experiential pedagogical theory and Lippitt, Watson, and Westley's administrative theory of Organizational Development - hence its designation as a hybrid model - through the systematization and feedback of experiences developed at the University of Cartagena since 2016, using ApS as a pedagogical strategy.
This qualitative bibliographic and documentary research utilized academic databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, with search terms including 'David Kolb learning theory' and 'Lippitt Watson Westley organizational development'. The results highlight similarities between them such as continuous learning cycle, practical application, deep reflection, planned change, and commitment to social responsibility, implicit aspects in ApS. This led to the formation of the Hybrid Model comprising five steps: Real Experience including observation and reflection; Conceptualization; Planning; Action; and finally Evaluation, thus forming a virtuous cycle of practical applicability of both theories in educational and organizational environments.
