“…The process is more related to the internal cognitive development process of the learner. In other words, the development of new concepts only emerges through new experiences [30]. The Kolb learning process which is often called "touching all the basics" learning is divided into four stages, namely:…”

Children's freedom is urgent from basic education to higher education which often neglects to appreciate the potential children. Children are often seen as parents' obsessions or simply objects of teacher learning. Children are individuals who have their interests and freedom. The freedom of the child in question is not the freedom to do something as it pleases but the freedom to determine how to learn and what learning materials the child wants to learn. So learning is no longer only based on rigid textbook theory, but based on research according to the needs and reality of the child himself. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic which prioritizes children's learning independence. The research method used is qualitative with a case study model. This case study was conducted at the Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM) in Bantul City, Yogyakarta Province. This case study was intended to explore the values of freedom in the educational curriculum used in the teaching and learning process, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of this study are the formulation of a curriculum that is aware of children's freedom and what basic knowledge children need to master in supporting their freedom of learning.

“…SL is being promoted in all the disciplines, and includes experiences of a very diverse nature: from a trip for medical students (Merkey & Palombi, 2020) , to real cases related to social entrepreneurship (Awaysheh & Bonfiglio, 2017) trips to deal with management issues (Leal-Rodríguez & Albort-Morant, 2019), and exercises to show students how to calculate the materials and workforce needed to complete a construction project (Collins & Redden, 2020). SL has been implemented in several health science degrees such as nursing (Plessis, Koen, & Bester, 2013), pharmacy (Kearney, 2013), physiotherapy and medicine (Menamin, Grath, Cantillon, & Farlane, 2014;Merkey & Palombi, 2020).…”

To enhance sustainable and walkable cities we need to know which aspects of the urban environment affect children’s walkability and working on measures related to communication and education to ensure widespread awareness in society as a whole. The aim of this paper is to advance the implementation of participative and dynamic techniques at university level and targeting children from a sustainable mobility perspective. Through the Service-Learning project “Let's Walk Safely to School!” three specific objectives – related with learning, service and teaching are addressed. While learning, university students conducted a community service and resolved several challenges related with complementary skills for pedestrian mobility and Geographic Information Systems, while children learn mobility concepts. Its development combines the resolution of a challenge, learning by doing – since the whole process was carried out in a real context –, and cooperative learning. Using the results of a survey of 200 children studying in a school in Madrid, field work, and digital mapping, eight University students developed an interactive web map which classifies the streets around the school according to the children’s comfort level, safety/security and ease of travel. The participants broadened their academic competencies, while exchange skills, knowledge and expertise, and also acquired transversal competencies related to teamwork, organisation and planning, effective communication and knowledge of ICTs.

“…It is an immersive learning experience that promotes high impact practices in a curriculum that caters for the development of critical thinking skills, people skills, innovativeness, entrepreneurial mind-set, resilience with cognitive flexibility, emotional and contextual intelligence, and passion for lifelong learning (Awang Hashim, Kaur & Valdez, 2019). In addition, engagement in community based projects by university students also enhances their micro-skills such as making accurate estimation and being critical in planning things (Collins & Redden, 2020)…”

Community service is an important co-curricular course which is offered to university students in many countries to develop critical thinking skills, awareness, empathy and soft-skills like management and communication. How such as course is able to instill in students the desired traits requires more study. This study aims to investigate the perception of undergraduates participating in community service course, the challenges that they have to face and their initiatives as mitigation strategies in achieving the goals of community service. Data for this study is elicited via a simple mix-method approach that combines elements of quantitative and qualitative research. The 68 undergraduates who served as purposive samples were enrolled in a 14-week co-curricular course called community service and were surveyed, interviewed and physically observed as they undertook the assigned tasks. All the community service groups were able to plan and execute four main projects. The study found five types of main challenges that the students have to face namely i. sourcing for funds and financial support, ii. logistics and manpower, iii. group dynamics, communication and cooperation, iv. time management and v. task planning and distribution. Initiatives and mitigation strategies undertaken by the students are having more specific meeting and discussion, exploring all possible options, appointing capable group leader who knows roles well and referring to and consulting lecturers. These insights from this study are useful for tertiary level curriculum planners to further enhance the effectiveness of such experiential learning course to further actualize the potential of the university students.
