Evaluating an experiential learning program in Indonesian higher education using the CIPP model
In response to Indonesia’s national higher education reform, universities have implemented experiential learning programs to enhance student readiness for the workforce. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the Prigel Program, an experiential learning initiative conducted at the Faculty of Engineering of an Indonesian university. The evaluative research employed a quantitative descriptive design using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model to assess program implementation. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 142 undergraduate participants. Mean scores were interpreted using Sukarjo’s criteria, and Glickman’s quadrant analysis was applied to categorize overall program effectiveness. The findings revealed positive ratings for all four aspects: Context (M = 4.38), Input (M = 3.97), Process (M = 4.23), and Product (M = 4.15). Based on Glickman’s quadrant analysis, the program was categorized as highly effective, indicating successful implementation. These results suggest that the Prigel program could be a benchmark for experiential learning within Indonesia’s higher education reform framework.
