Abstract

This study explores the implementation and impact of service-learning within the context of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which emphasizes quality education and holistic development. Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) has incorporated service-learning into its curriculum, particularly within the TISSA-UUM's Management Accounting course. Since 2018, students have been required to engage with local businesses or nonprofit organizations to apply financial planning and budgeting techniques learned in class to real-world situations. Despite the potential benefits, research on the specific impact of service-learning on accounting education at TISSA-UUM remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by examining students' learning experiences during service-learning projects. The study used experimental approach involved three teaching groups of Management Accounting II. Thematic analysis revealed three main themes related to students' learning experiences: personal development, venturing beyond comfort zones, and gaining real-life experiences. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for lecturers, students, and educational institutions on how to effectively conduct service-learning activities to achieve the goals of quality education outlined in SDG 4. By understanding both the benefits and challenges of service-learning, educational stakeholders can better prepare students for successful integration into professional environments, ultimately contributing to their personal and professional growth
