Abstract


Scientific and pedagogical schools can connect research, education, mentoring, and knowledge transfer within universities. This conceptual study examines their changing functions under a new technological order and translates these functions into a community-service framework for academic development. Historical, institutional, systems, comparative, and forecasting approaches were used to analyze scientific-pedagogical schools as collaborative academic communities. The analysis highlights their roles in knowledge generation, tacit-knowledge transfer, mentoring, professional development, research collaboration, and university engagement. A community-service perspective extends these roles toward academic mentoring, interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge-sharing activities, and university-community interaction. Strengthening scientific and pedagogical schools may therefore support sustainable academic communities while connecting research and educational expertise with broader societal needs.
