Integrating Service-Learning Pedagogy to Cultivate 4C's and Quadruple Helix Partnership

Open access
This thorough study exhibits the seamless integration of service-learning pedagogy, expertly stimulating the growth of the 4C's — critical thinking, creativity, cooperation, and communication — while also encouraging partnerships that support the Quadruple Helix. It embodies a comprehensive approach that not only improves people's cognitive and social skills but also encourages collaborative engagements that go beyond conventional bounds. The ADDIE model, a recognised instructional design framework, skilfully directs the systematic development of the study. This guarantees that every stage of the study, from analysis and design to execution and assessment, is painstakingly planned and carried out, finally resulting in a highly effective programme. This programme emphasises the value of an organised approach in attaining its educational and partnership goals by adhering to the ADDIE model, making it a shining example of best practises. The skills of the 4Cs are developed to their greatest extent as a result of this creative initiative. The development of critical thinking skills helps individuals analyse difficult problems, make wise decisions, and adjust to changing obstacles. Individuals are encouraged to use their creativity to investigate novel solutions and concepts. Participants are taught the significance of collaborating across disciplines and sectors as part of a promotion of collaboration. Sharpening communication abilities ensures that thoughts and ideas are successfully communicated. Sustainable development is based on the Quadruple Helix Partnerships, which bring together academia, government, industry, and the community. This extensive partnership closely reflects important Sustainable Development Goals. The study gives people useful skills and knowledge by improving education (SDG 4). By helping small firms to succeed in the digital era, it supports economic growth (SDG 8). Additionally, this programme emphasises the value of partnerships in reaching the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17 and advancing society as a whole.
