      Abstract

      From 1996 to 2003, UK Petra partnered with the government of Magetan to conduct COP in Magetan, in which the students of Dongseo University-South Korea, Inholland University � Netherlands, Hong Kong Baptist University � Hong Kong participated in. Since 2007 until now, UK Petra has applied Service-Learning method to Community Outreach Program (COP). As an International Service-Learning, COP is expected to have a two-way learning process. Students can apply their knowledge to meet the needs of the society and they can learn from the community. They will also have to write a report reflecting this experience. Respectively, in 2008, COP was selected by the Indonesian Minister of Education as pilot KKN which was conducted internationally. However, the effectiveness of using the COP process approach to teach the students is still incloncusive. It is necessary to confirm this effectiveness through further research studies. This study investigated 61 students on how effective the learning process through service learning method is in a village, named Lebak Jabung, Dilem & Kulubanyu, Mojokerto, as a case study of COP 2017 to improve their skills through reflections and questionnaires. The effectiveness of the programme was investigated through interviews, reflections and questionaires. It was found that the programme brought positive results across all students who joined COP from many countries. The process approach seems to be a very effective approach to students from many countries, not only for inner personal development, but also for academic development and especially for their social skill development.
