Abstract Academic assessment of student competency is essential to measure learning within a gerontology program. In its self-evaluation, a program must assess its student learning outcomes. JoAnn Damron-Rodriguez et al. (2019, p. 423) proposed a systematic approach that has several levels. The key is to utilize a competency-based education model. Moreover, to satisfy workforce goals the gerontology program must adopt the AGHE competencies that reflect the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to serve older adults at an acceptable level of care. The next step involves generating well-articulated quantitative or qualitative measures of student learning outcomes (SLOs) consistent with the program’s mission statement that include twelve competency domains. SLO measures include test grades, assignments, projects, portfolios, field experiences, essay questions, multiple choice items, and so on. The program’s enhancement loop requires the evaluation of SLOs, faculty discussion of them, and a continuous modification cycle "closing the loop" to reach the program’s goals.

Abstract: This study aims to produce an andragogy-based English module that is valid, practical and has a potential effect on student learning outcomes in semester 2 of Muhammadiyah University of Palembang. The research procedure used the Rowntree model, namely: planning, development, and evaluation. In the evaluation stage, Tessmer's formative evaluation model is used which consists of 5 stages, namely: self evaluation, expert review, one-to-one evaluation, small group evaluation, and field test. The result of this research is an andragogy-based English module. Modules are declared valid after being validated by material, language, and module design experts. The results of the one-to-one evaluation of 3 students stated that the students who were the research subjects gave very good responses to the andragogy-based module. The module is declared practical based on the results of one-to-one evaluations and small group evaluations. The results of the small group evaluation of 8 students obtained an average value of student responses to all aspects assessed at 82.47 in the practical category. The module is stated to have a potential effect on student learning outcomes because at the field test stage for 31 students, an N-gain of 0.58 was obtained, including the moderate category. Suggestions for lecturers, students and universities that this andragogy-based module can be used in learning English as well as for other researchers this andragogy-based module can be used as a reference in developing similar research. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan modul bahasa Inggris berbasis andragogi yang valid, praktis dan memiliki efek potensial terhadap hasil belajar mahasiswa di semester 2 Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang. Prosedur penelitian menggunakan model Rowntree, yaitu: perencanaan, pengembangan, dan evaluasi.

This study aims to: (1) investigate the effect of Jigsaw cooperative learning on students learning outcomes; (2) find the difference in learning outcomes between high and low learning motivation and (3) find the interaction between learning approaches and learning motivation towards learning outcomes. The population of the study is students of grade IVa, IVb, IVc at SD Kasih Ibu Patumbak and the sample in this study is grade IVa with 35 students and grade IVb with 35 students. The results show that: (1) the average student learning outcomes of jigsaw cooperative learning is 28.40 while conventional is 24.14. Thus, students learning outcomes that get cooperative learning of jigsaw type are higher than conventional learning, (2) Students who have high motivation get an average value = 30.74, while low motivation is 22.72. Thus, it can be concluded that there are differences in student learning outcomes having high learning motivation and low learning motivation, and (3) students learning outcomes  taught by jigsaw cooperative learning are high learning motivation groups (32.94), and low learning motivation groups (24.58), while students taught with conventional learning are high learning motivation groups (28.40 ), and low motivation groups (20,95). Thus, there is no interaction between learning approaches and learning motivation towards learning outcomes.
