Analysis of Cultural and Political Geography Learning Concept Design Based on Case Method and Team-Based Project

This study investigates the implementation of the Case Method and Team-Based Project learning approaches within the context of the Geography Education Department's cultural and political geography courses at Universitas Negeri Medan. These methods, relevant to the Merdeka Belajar - Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, aim to enhance student skills through active, applied learning. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research gathered data via questionnaires distributed through Google Forms to a sample of 67 students out of a total population of 454 from the 2019-2022 academic cohorts. Findings indicate that the duration required for the Case Method varies with the complexity of the cases, ranging from 15-30 minutes for simpler issues to over 60 minutes for more intricate problems. The Team-Based Project approach necessitates 7 to 8 meetings, including initial planning and subsequent implementation phases, monitored by lecturers through direct communication or digital platforms like LMS forums or Zoom channels. However, the study reveals inefficiencies in applying these learning methods within the department, attributed to the substantial workload imposed by the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) and a lack of student engagement in assignments. It suggests a comprehensive revision of IQF assignments towards more discussion-oriented and field-practical approaches to address these challenges.

Model concepts to support the improvement of students' skills in learning tasks

This article aims to design a concept model that can support learning to improve students' ability in learning tasks to deal with problems that exist in the real world. Based on KKNI (Indonesian National Qualification Framework), there are six tasks in learning, namely routine tasks, critical book reports, critical journal reports, idea engineering (scientific or creative writing), mini research, and projects. Therefore, the learning process must be able to increase student learning motivation. In addition, it must also develop their competencies and skills to think critically, have high creativity, be able to work together in teams, be disciplined, be responsible, and be able to create frameworks and solve problems in life and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a learning model that is in accordance with these objectives. In this case, it is a learning model designed to encourage students to learn and practice, so that they are skilled in responding to problems based on their experience in learning. The approach in this development research was carried out using the ADDIE model. The design concept of this development model is done by combining a project-based learning model with six tasks based on KKNI (Indonesian National Qualification Framework). The results of the design concept of this development model consist of seven syntax stages, namely: material explanation, material review and formulation of problem formulation, study and review of book and journal literature, idea engineering (scientific or creative writing), mini research, project design and implementation, and presentation and evaluation.
