Singaraja – The very rapid development of Science and Technology has brought changes in various aspects of life, including economic, social, and cultural changes. In this regard, there is a need for a learning transformation to prepare graduates who are competitive. Supporting this, the Minister of Education and Culture launched the Independent Campus Learning (MBKM) policy, which aims to encourage students to master various knowledge that will be useful when entering the world of work, said the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Prof. Dr. I Ketut Gading, M.Psi., when he was a resource person in the Independent Campus Curriculum Preparation Workshop, which was organized by the Guidance and Counseling Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, which took place in the Panji Sakti University Conference Room, (28/03 /22) morning.
In his presentation of the material, Prof Gading said that in the independent campus learning policy, universities are required to be able to design and implement innovative learning processes, so that in the future students are able to achieve optimal learning outcomes, which include aspects of attitudes, knowledge and skills. More than that, his party explained the independent campus learning program, including 4 (four) main policies, namely ease of opening new study programs, changes to the accreditation system in higher education, ease for universities to become legal entities, and the right for students to study 3 ( three) semesters outside the study program, where students are given the freedom to take credits outside the study program within the university or outside the university.
Dean Gading stated that there are 8 (eight) off-campus learning activities, including internships/industrial practices, village projects, student exchanges, research/research, entrepreneurship, independent studies/projects, humanitarian projects, and teaching at schools. Universities are also expected to be able to condense the study program curriculum to build the study program’s core competencies, approximately 90 credits, open up opportunities for students to take MBKM activities, and provide recognition for a minimum of 20 credits, for MBKM activities or carry out equivalence with courses that are in accordance with the curriculum previously.
