Learning Innovation in Realizing Freedom of Learning

Education constantly changes from time to time. Educational change begins with curriculum design and learning. Changes in curriculum design usually depart from learning problems and the demands of the world of work. However, in reality, it did not live up to expectations. Through meta-analysis (literature review), this paper aims to find a rational-analytic relationship between learning innovation and independent learning. An analytical-rational study found that the challenges and problems of implementing innovative learning were operationally manifested in the form of implementing a transdisciplinary curriculum, life-based learning, and independent learning. Adequate resources support the success of its implementation, both students (in the form of changing mindsets, willingness to learn, and being proactive towards change), teachers/lecturers (ability to manage learning, digital literacy, technical skills, flexible and patient attitude), and educational institutions ( culture of quality and provision of adequate resources). The abilities and skills of these components at all levels of education need to be further investigated and the results will be the basis for future learning innovations.
