Abstract

Often educational value is placed on test scoring and students' assessment results, rather, students should be exploring the community and establishing a purpose. The benefit of the students is the prime object of education. Community involvement has made a significant impact on students in several studies. Darmawan et al. argue specifically after Covid, that students had a gap in the development of student behavior. In this review, it will be discussed how community groups are benefiting schools and teachers to enhance the learning experience for students. Students who receive education from community organizations and groups gain a greater perspective on their education and learning experience.
