The implementation of strengthening the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) and Kampus Merdeka (Independent Campus) for increasing HOTS Literacy is an activity to build a village through developing tourism village packages based on educational products. This educational product is also intended to implement a superior model of higher education. Educational tour package products are implemented for school students around the village. The development of an educational tourism village involves students from various study programs, including Arabic education, Psychology, Management, Fine Arts Education, and Mathematics, as well as field supervisors.
This Educational Tourism Village activity is packaged as teaching activities that aim to assist formal and non-formal teaching in Educational Tourism Villages. In order to have a sustainable impact on the village, learning activities are packaged into tour packages that the village can manage in the future. The process of teaching and learning with students through the Educational Tourism Village outside the campus is one of the essential manifestations of student-centred learning.
