KONSTRUKSI PEMBELAJARAN ANDRAGOGI DALAM MENTORING BEASISWA ONLINE: STUDI KASUS ADAPTASI PRINSIP PEMBELAJARAN ORANG DEWASA MENGGUNAKAN INFRASTRUKTUR DIGITAL

Abstract

This study describes the construction of andragogy learning in an online scholarship
mentoring class at BimacitaGlobal, South Bengkulu. This study involved six informants
consisting of managers, mentors, and participants of the Master's and Doctoral
scholarship programs. The researchers used a descriptive qualitative approach with data
collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and
documentation. The researchers analyzed the data using triangulation of sources and
methods. The results show that this online mentoring program applies the principles of,
The results of the study indicate that this online mentoring program consistently applies
andragogy principles in three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. This
program integrates synchronous learning via Zoom, asynchronous learning via Google
Classroom, and ongoing communication via WhatsApp. The findings of this study lie in
three aspects: (1) Researchers found a unique andragogy adaptation model in the context
of limited digital infrastructure, specifically a hybrid flexibility strategy that combines
synchronous-asynchronous learning with intensive personal mentoring; (2) Researchers
identified a unique social construction of learning through mentor-participant interactions
in virtual spaces, which resulted in active participation patterns based on digital learning
communities; and (3) Researchers develop an online adult learning evaluation framework
that integrates the dimensions of technological readiness, intrinsic motivation, and
achievement of scholarship competencies. The theoretical contribution of this research
enriches the understanding of the implementation of andragogy in digital learning for
adults, while its practical contribution provides a learning model that can be adapted by
non-formal educational institutions in areas with similar limitations.
