Abstract-Self-learning approach becomes one of the learning models that have a significant role in improving students' abilities. Independent efforts of each individual and continuing to increase motivation are challenges that must be solved by students and educators. This study aims to analyze student behavior in outdoor learning through self-directed learning models. Data were collected from 46 students who conducted fieldwork programs and analyzed using statistic descriptive. This study found that self-directed learning provides opportunities for students to develop practical analytical skills in resolving contradictions in understanding between theory in class and practice in the field. In addition, students can also initiate independently to find solutions to the problems they face in the field. New understanding based on experience in the field gives students the ability to be responsible for the tasks assigned.

“…Learning this style has characteristics that include; the first is interactive (the availability of more communication channels), either directly (synchronous), such as chat or messenger, or indirectly (asynchronously) such as forums, mailing lists or guest books [8], [44]. The second is independence, flexibility in aspects of providing time, place, teaching and teaching materials [6], [9]. This causes learning to be more centered on students (student centered learning) [7].…”

In other words, the paradigm of modern education that is close to the use of technology has become an inevitable part of today's universities [9], [10] as a transformative and innovative step that can help students easily and openly [11]. Moreover, a culture developed with the integration of information system utilization in Education can also help improve the ability of users in leadership [12]- [16], and experiential expertise [17].…”
