EVALUATION OF UNDERGRADUATE THESIS MENTORING PROCESS IN UNIVERSITAS NEGERI YOGYAKARTA BASED ON ADULT LEARNING PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
In facing the twenty-first century’s challenges and problems, higher education plays a very strategic role. Undergraduate thesis can contribute in developing the ability to address the challenges and problems. This study aims at evaluating the process of mentoring through the lens of adult learning theory by looking at the students’ and lecturers’ obstacles and efforts in the process of thesis writing among college students. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a purposively selected sample of 190 students who have completed their thesis writing, and 53 supervisors. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed descriptively in percentages. The results show that: (1) the process of mentoring tends to have used the principle of adult learning with more emphasis on self-directed learning; (2) the encountered obstacles include research substance and methods, foreign language abilities, psychological factors, and reference sources; and (3) some activities done to overcome the obstacles include improving self-motivation, self-effort, and providing opportunities for the students to consult their problems to the lecturer.
