The Experience Of Family Independence And The Perception Of Learner-Centered Education In Facing A Landslide Disaster: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

Introduction: In health, learner-centered education has proven to be a successful teaching method combining practical skills with theoretical knowledge. However, it remains unclear whether learner-centred features of education increase family motivation and learning engagement. Methods: In this descriptive qualitative study, 54 households from landslide-prone areas of East Java were recruited to participate using purposive sampling. Data was collected by means of semi-structured face-to-face focus group interviews. The interview transcript study was qualitative. This study demonstrates the value of adopting an educational method that emphasizes family autonomy. Result: Facing Landslide Disasters can satisfy the hedonic and practical nature of learning in disaster-prone regions, hence improving family motivation and educational involvement. The results also indicate that learner-centered education can improve families' educational experiences and facilitate their transition from passive and receptive to proactive learners.Conclusion: This study provides deeper and specific knowledge about the components of student-centered education that increase learning motivation and involvement in disaster-prone households.
