<![CDATA[Objective: To measure the level of student readiness for participating in the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Program at higher education institutions, particularly at Ma’soem University. Method: The study employed a quantitative survey method. Data were collected from 112 students selected from a population of 935 students using the Slovin formula. A Likert-scale questionnaire was used to assess three dimensions of readiness: physical readiness, psychological readiness, and material readiness. Instrument validity and reliability were tested, yielding a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.960. Results: The findings revealed that students’ readiness to participate in the MBKM program was in the “Good” category, with an achievement percentage of 80.81%. Although overall readiness was satisfactory, the material readiness dimension, particularly the learning-recording sub-indicator, required further improvement. Novelty: This study proposes a comprehensive readiness assessment framework for Independent Learning Programs (MBKM) by simultaneously evaluating students’ physical, psychological, and material readiness. The framework contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) by providing evidence-based information to support inclusive, student-centered, and effective implementation of independent learning programs in higher education while identifying specific readiness dimensions that require improvement.]]>
