Experience- Based Learning to Improve University Students’ Competence

Abstract

Learning problems are influenced by external and internal factors. External factors include
lecturers, materials, interaction patterns, media and technology as well as the learning situation.
One of the efforts to overcome learning problems is the improvement of learning which is studentcentered

learning (student center, learning oriented) to provide a learning experience which is
challenging and fun. Learning innovations also produce a productive creative learning model which
is the combination of collaborative, cooperative and constructive learning. The pattern of learning
activities is through four phases namely orientation, exploration, interpretation and re-creations. In
the Department of Geography Education, this learning model is chosen with the assumption that it
can provide a learning experience, make students active, creative, responsible and fun.
