Service Learning as a Contribution to Professional Training: A Case Analysis Based on the Fifth Dimension Methodology

This article describes the involvement process of psychology university students in the adaptation and implementation of a 5D model known as Proyecto Mohán. The research assumed a service-learning experience and explored how this methodology contributed to the understanding of the psychologist’s theory and profession. The experience involved eight university students, one professor, and one master’s student. The research methodology used is the experiment by design. Based on the results, we argue that the experience of participating in the development of a direct intervention as a learning situation allows students to assume the role of psychologists, in addition to developing apprentice-ships in the profession and professional competencies.
