critical awareness, independent learning, non-formal educationAbstract
In recent years, communities have gained increased access to diverse educational options. While formal education remains the primary choice, non-formal education is gradually becoming a viable alternative. This study aims to explore the growing preference for non-formal education within learning communities and how such educational programs are implemented. Using a case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants included learning community managers, tutors, learning residents, and local community members. The data were analyzed using interactive descriptive analysis, and the validity of the findings was ensured through triangulation of sources and methods. The results showed that non-formal education is favored for several reasons: limited access to formal education among lower-income groups, dissatisfaction with the quality of formal education among the middle and upper classes, and the increasing recognition that non-formal education is no longer viewed as merely a secondary option, but as a meaningful and respected path to learning.
