Abstract

This article examines philosophical and theoretical views in realizing the concept of freedom to learn which is the main issue in curriculum changes in universities. The freedom to learn policy has reaped various responses from the community, both in terms of terminology, interpretation, and implementation. The concept of freedom to learn will be studied in terms of democratic philosophy, which emphasizes equality in education. It is an acknowledged fact that there is a close relationship between democracy and education. In a democracy, education is given priority, because it is a prerequisite for survival and success in the first place. Likewise, education fosters a democratic temperament in the minds of every citizen. Democratic values such as freedom, equality, brotherly justice, individual dignity, cooperation, sharing of responsibilities etc are applied to education to make it more effective, meaningful, relevant and useful. There is an inseparable relationship between democracy and education. Democracy cannot be separated from the education spectrum. It is recognized on all sides that the muscle of democracy depends on the character and intelligence of all its citizens. Therefore, the practice of democratic teaching should be a point of emphasis in the free learning curriculum. Because democracy can function properly only if all its citizens are well educated. Democracy should provide goals for education and as such, democratic principles should be reflected in goals, curriculum, teaching methods, administration and organization, disciplines, schools, teachers, etc.
