<![CDATA[Higher education should be able to connect academic knowledge with the real world and further enhance collaboration and problem-solving skills. This study was conducted to identify the need to develop an Experience Field Learning model based on Collaboration and Problem Solving at three State Islamic Universities in Kalimantan. This study employs a needs analysis design using a mixed-methods approach to examine existing learning practices and identify the need to develop an experience-based field learning model. This research was conducted in several education study program at these universities. Participants were students and faculty members involved in environmental and field-based learning, selected purposively based on their relevant academic experiences. Collecting data through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and a review of curriculum documents involving students and faculty. The data were described quantitatively and interpreted thematically using qualitative methods to reveal current learning conditions, the characteristics of the desired model, and implementation requirements. The research findings indicate that instruction within the studied programs at several State Islamic Universities in Kalimantan has incorporated discussions, assignments, and practical activities; however, field experiences have not yet been fully structured as an integral part of the learning process. Students need more contextual learning through direct experience, utilization of local environments and resources, identifying real problems, collaboration, reflection, and application of concepts in field contexts. These findings serve as the basis for developing an Experience-Based Field Learning model that integrates concrete experience, collaborative problem-solving, reflection, the use of local resources, and digital technology support.]]>
