Abstract

The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Program (MBKM) is a new breakthrough initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. It aims to facilitate students to get the learning process directly in the field and not only through the classroom learning process. In its implementation, the UPJ Psychology Study Program also supports students in achieving the ideal learning process. In addition to the benefits received by students and lecturers, the implementation of this program faced many challenges. Given the challenges faced, this study aims to explain the interests and satisfaction of students and the motivation and satisfaction of the UPJ Psychology Study Program lecturers by using a mixed-method to carry out the analysis. The research found that the lecturers and students of the Psychology Study Program of UPJ had sufficient interest and motivation to participate in the MBKM program. However, they still did not have a good level of satisfaction. The low satisfaction within both groups are perceived as a challenge to tackle. So it is necessary to make efforts to improve program implementation in the future, especially related to program socialization, consistency in implementing regulations, and SOPs at the government and institutional levels.
