Abstract

Currently the government is intensively introducing, preparing and implementing the concept of independent learning at all levels of education. This concept focuses on the freedom to learn independently and creatively, there is no compulsion in learning because true learning must bring happiness to students. The concept of independent learning has long been conveyed by the Father of National Education, Ki Hadjar Dewantara. There are two education concepts, among and three educational centers . The among concept explains that the teacher does not only provide knowledge to students but must provide understanding so that students are able to find their own knowledge. The concept of the three education centers is that education received by students occurs in the family environment, school environment, and community environment. Implementing the concept of independent learning also needs to pay attention to a suitable learning approach so that the learning process is carried out to achieve the expected learning objectives. One of the learning approaches is the andragogy approach or adult education. The purpose of this study is to implement the concept of independent learning through an andragogical approach. This research is a qualitative research by doing observation. The results of this study are andralogical approaches relevant to use in learning activities to create independent learning.
