This study aims to observe the effectiveness of the co-curriculum activities (Bina Insan Guru) on male and female students in June 2022 intake at the Institute of Teacher Education Gaya campus. The instrument for this study was a questionnaire consisting of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective components. This questionnaire was adapted from the outdoor education questionnaire (Santhanadass, 2015). Cronbach's alpha and expert validity were used to obtain the validity and reliability of this instrumented test. The Pearson Product Moment analysis shows that the evaluation instrument's expert validity value is 0.88-0.92, and the reliability value is 0.85. Pre-experimental group pre-test–post-test approach was used in this study. Meanwhile, 334 male and female graduate subjects of June 2022 intake were selected randomly as the study samples. All subjects underwent a pre-test, were given a four-day intervention and retested in the post-test. This study was conducted at Zipline Borneo Kiulu Tamparuli. MANOVA results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test for male and female graduate students. This study's outcomes showed that co-curricular activities, namely Bina Insan Guru (BIG) that was carried out, had a high positive impact. It is recommended to maintain this program and co-curricular activities to improve the competence of the Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) at Gaya Campus students.
