CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING ACCORDING TO KOLB'S MODEL FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF BIOLOGY TEACHERS

Abstract

The research aimed to identify Challenges of implementing experiential learning according to Kolb's model from the perspective of biology teachers. To achieve the aim of the research, the researchers adopted the descriptive research method. The scale of "Challenges of implementing experiential learning according to Kolb's model from the perspective of biology teachers" was built from (40) items in Likert formula. The results showed that the domain of Challenges of implementing experiential learning related to the school and classroom environment was resolved in the first place and (high) level. While the domain of Challenges of implementing experiential learning related to the curriculum ranked second and (medium) level, then followed by the domain of Challenges of implementing experiential learning relevant to the teacher ranked third and (medium) level. Finally, the domain of Challenges of implementing experiential learning related to students was solved at the fourth rank and (medium) level. The level of challenges in general was (medium). Based on the results of the research, the researchers suggested "building a training program for biology teachers to overcome challenges of implementing experimental learning and measuring its impact on their teaching skills."
