PREFACE
Upon entering medical schools, first-year students are still adapting to their new environment.
Changes in the educational environment will affect their way of learning. The difference of learning
method used in high school to the more independent approach applied in higher education needs to
be managed effectively. As a way of assisting students in their way of adapting, Adult Learning
Module is aimed to introduce the concept of Adult Learning and various methods used in FMUI that
applied the concept into practice. Aligned with the competencies expected in Indonesia’s doctors in
this module students would develop self-awareness and self-development through the application
of lifelong learning. By practicing adult learning in their study, students would adjust better to
college life and learn more effectively not just during their span of education in FMUI, but in their
everyday life as physicians later on.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Adult learning, with its emphasis on self-directed learning might be a new concept for first-year
medical students. This 2-weeks module (2 SKS) is intended for 1st semester medical students of
FMUI’s International Class as a mean of preparing students to experience various teaching methods
in the curriculum. After completing Adult Learning Module, students should be able to perform
Problem-Based Learning discussion, Team-Based Learning discussion, as well as Collaborative
Learning discussion. Aligned with the seven competencies of medical doctors in Indonesia, through
this module it is hoped that students can build their self-awareness as well as their love of learning
in order to become a lifelong learner. This objective would be achieved through various delivery
methods, including group discussions, role play, and video appraisals

3. Example of PBL Triggers (2)
Trigger 1
Mr. A works as a garbage collector. He collects garbage from houses and carries it to the
local dumpster near the area. Being in this profession for over 15 years, Mr. A is used of
having to live in an unhealthy environment. He stays with his family in a small shed next to
the dumpster. The tiny shed is occupied by Mr. A, his wife, and his 4-year old son. His son
has been having recurrent health problems which Mr.A suspects might have something to
do with the environment.
Trigger 2
B, a first year medical student from FMUI lives in a rented room near campus. B has a very
busy schedule, juggling between attending lectures, completing tasks, and participating in
student organizations. She skipped her meals at times, and sometimes even lose her sleep.
She gets tired easily, and finds it hard to concentrate in class. Despite her effort to study
hard, last week she received a low grade on her summative examination. She is very sad and
disappointed with herself and she did not know where to get help. She mentioned her
problem to one of her seniors. Her senior explained to her that medical students might
experience various problems during their education and suggested her to consult with
faculty or staff at the Student Support Center.
