Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The adventure learning consists of highly structured physical activity with debrief session that helps promote personal and social development. It is an approach with the future ready curriculum framework that highlights three elements; curriculum structure, learning and teaching delivery and assessment that are constructively aligned to prepare graduates in meeting the challenges of the 21st century. Previous researches showed that future adventure learning projects are recommended to focus on higher education, small and diverse which can yield significant knowledge into adventure learning. Thus, this study aims to develop an adventurebased learning module for learning statistical inference course at diploma level. This article will highlight two activities of adventure learning in the developed module. The experiential learning theory, the inquiry-based learning and the concept of outdoor learning point of views will be explained to shed additional light on the way the activities in adventure learning endeavors are formed and enacted. This study contributes valuable opportunities for higher education, where connecting learners with real-life and relevant explorations may be the links missing to make higher education experiential, authentic, and engaging.
