EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT IN NATURE-BASED LEARNING

Abstract

The quality of education in higher education is a fundamental problem in efforts to improve the quality of the national education system. Various efforts have been made to improve the quality of education, covering all educational components including elements of learning management. Learning success can be realized through appropriate management work processes. This research aims to describe management which includes planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating nature-based learning at Lake Linow for students of the Physics Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) Manado State University (Unima). The method used in this research is a mixed method, a concurrent embedded strategy model with a qualitative data frame, while quantitative data supports qualitative data. The field activity plan is tiered from semester I to semester VIII. The research results obtained in this research started from the planning stages of analyzing the vision, mission, student needs, observing natural objects, namely Lake Linow, formulating field activity objectives, designing field activities according to level 1 to level 4 activities, preparing observation formats and rubrics. evaluation. The next stage is organizing which produces an organizational model as well as the functions and roles of management components. The implementation phase is in accordance with the design created and carried out in stages in 4 levels of activities adopting the 5-E learning cycle (Engagement, Explaration, Explanation, Elaboration, Evaluation). Evaluation of nature-based learning according to the observation format and assessment techniques examines attractiveness, students' ability to identify facts, physical phenomena, explain special characteristics, variable concepts, spatial and temporal variations, relationships between variables, and related concepts. The results of this research also obtained references to field conditions (physical variables) and environmental conditions for each zone as well as references to forms of learning activities (observation, measurement, more detailed research) which were integrated into several related courses as field assignments. The evaluation results show that the application of management functions in nature-based learning for students of the Physics Department, FMIPA Unima can form students' knowledge competencies, attitudes and skills, and nature-based learning through tiered activities can support students in completing their studies.
