Abstract

Nursing education program demands a series of learning outcomes that are required to be assembled into students. Reproductive System is noticed as one of the nursing course subjects that carry out some learning outcomes. Student-Centered Learning (SCL) has been implemented and evaluated over the years, but learning outcome achievement has not been obtained optimally. The study aimed to upscale the implementation of SCL through learning methods combination and rating the system of student assessment development in improving students’ competencies. This study used action research as its research design. It started by providing semester teaching planning and arranging the competencies according to the Indonesian Quality Framework. Small Group Discussion, Collaboration Learning, and Discovery Learning have been used for theoretical learning. Thus, Role Play, Games and Simulation, and Self Directing Leaning were used in the practicum. Student assessment was made broader by adding soft skills items. Students were observed during the learning process by using a student assessment instrument and continued with lecturers and students' reflection as evaluation. The results showed that the developed and applied to learn methods and assessments had an impact on increasing students’ scores. It was presented by more than half (69%) of the students achieving A- score grade. It is recommended that the developed SCL learning methods can be used optimally to improve students’ competencies.
