Abstract

Self-learning approach becomes one of the learning models that have a significant role in improving students’ abilities. Independent efforts of each individual and continuing to increase motivation are challenges that must be solved by students and educators. This study aims to analyze student behavior in outdoor learning through self-directed learning models. Data were collected from 46 students who conducted fieldwork programs and analyzed using statistic descriptive. This study found that self-directed learning provides opportunities for students to develop practical analytical skills in resolving contradictions in understanding between theory in class and practice in the field. In addition, students can also initiate independently to find solutions to the problems they face in the field. New understanding based on experience in the field gives students the ability to be responsible for the tasks assigned.
