Abstract

Rusdin Djibu, Development of andragogical learning model to improve life skills for teenagers who drop out of school in Gorontalo City is one of the models that is developed in order to improve life skills. This research aimed at determining (1) the objective conditions of teenagers who drop out of school in Gorontalo City, (2) the development of andragogy learning model, (3) the effectiveness of andragogical learning model, (4) the supporting and inhibiting factors to model development. The theoretical review in this research involved the concept of non-formal education, life skills education and andragogical learning model. This research applied a qualitative approach which was descriptive research. The research method used was the Research and Development (R&D) method and applied nonparametric statistic using the z test to test the hypothesis. The research samples were 20 people who were divided into an experimental group and control group. Furthermore, techniques of analysis were divided into three stages which were preliminary study, model development, and model effectiveness study. The research findings were: (1) obtain an overview of the objective conditions of life skills education in Gorontalo City, (2) development of andragogy learning model by using participatory and collaborative method can develop attitude, knowledge, and skills of trainees, (3) the effectiveness of learning model implemented through model testing. Based on the statistical test, a model that was developed had a significant influence on the result of training participants. The result revealed that a) the mastery of learning material in the test stage II was more evenly distributed than the test stage I, b) the average score result of posttest was higher than the average result of the pretest, c) the implementation of andragogy principles increases the participation, knowledge, skills and attitudes in utilizing local excellence and develops continuous learning motivation. (4) The supporting factors so that this research was succeeded with good result were: a) community and government support, b) readiness and availability of all components and draft models that was understood. While the inhibiting factors involved: a) there was still public doubt about the results of the training, b) lack of competitive attitudes among the training participants, and c) the lack of optimal mastery of each component regarding the learning model and management functions. The result of this research was recommended to the government, the organizer and manager of KUPP, and the facilitator in the development of andragogical learning model, both at the center and in the regions, at the level of province and Gorontalo City.
