2. A theoretical framework of shared visions

Abstract

In this paper I propose a theoretical approach to implement community service in Lara State. Upon the basis of reflection, the proposal is expected to 1. guide the management of community service, and 2.  provide an answer to the problem of social responsibility in institutions of the region at a university level. The social actors participating in the study are managers, teachers, and students from two local universities, as well as the neighbors who benefit from such service. Their opinions have been categorized, triangulated, analyzed, and contrasted in order to construct the proposal. The result is a theoretical approach based on a socio-educative management process which is characterized by constant learning, dialogue, reflection, and self-monitoring through which sustainable human development in time is secured.
