Social entrepreneurship (SE) is often presented in the literature as the key to solve many of this world's persistent social problems. SE offers a special opportunity to address the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to boost the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research examines the effects of Service Learning (SL) on the SE of university students and to examine whether certain sociodemographic factors (i.e., age, entrance studies, family studies, social participation, and employment situation) are associated with students' SE competence development when applying SL. Pre-service teachers (n = 98) of the degree in early childhood education applied a physical education SL programme. We used a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, using pre-test and post-test measures. The findings obtained show a significant improvement on the SE competence of PSTs, so SL seems a good tool to develop it. The results that analyse the influence of socio-demographic factors do not show significant correlations. There are very few studies focusing on this objective, so it would be interesting to encourage the research community to provide more data in this area.
社会创业（SE）常常在文献中被描述为解决世界上许多长期存在的社会问题的关键。SE 提供了一个特殊的机会，可以解决 2030 年可持续发展议程，并促进可持续发展目标（SDGs）的实现。本研究考察了服务学习（SL）对大学生 SE 能力的影响，以及在应用 SL 时，某些社会人口因素（即年龄、入学专业、家庭背景、社会参与和就业状况）是否与学生的 SE 能力发展相关。幼儿教育专业的职前教师（n=98）实施了一项体育 SL 项目。我们采用了一种定量方法，使用前测和后测的手段，进行了一项预实验设计。研究结果表明，职前教师的 SE 能力有显著提高，因此 SL 似乎是一种很好的发展 SE 能力的工具。对社会人口因素影响的分析结果没有显示出显著的相关性。针对这一目标的研究很少，因此鼓励研究界在这一领域提供更多的数据是很有意义的。
