FEB UNS Conduct a Discussion with FEB UNEJ
The National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN PT) since March 2019 has implements study program accreditation instrument 4.0. Previously, the accreditation was held using the 3.0 instrument with 7 standards. However, this was changed to 9 accreditation criteria, with the main difference in the accreditation focus, which previously on the input and process and the current one focused on the process and output. This matter was addressed by Dr. Siti Aisyah Tri Rahayu as the speaker in Academic Refreshing Methodology & Curriculum-Based Research Development, Friday, November 15, 2019.
“We need to prepare accreditation with 9 criteria, there are many things that should be improved. For instance, in teaching and learning process, if it is conducted offline (in class) we only earn 2 point, and if we implement online course the point is 3. In order to achieve 4 point, there should be a documentation of teaching and learning process, the video of the process, and is published, thus it is accessible by the public,” she explained. With more courses that meet the criteria, the point achieved will be greater.
Additionally, research result should also be implemented or discussed during learning process. This includes involving the students in research project, not only assisting but also involving them during the process.
During the curriculum establishment, the faculty should planned its graduate profile. This cannot directly established as the faculty needs to predict the market demand. Therefore, the curriculum establishment process should involve stakeholders. Another challenge for UNS is to adopt the digital 4.0 subject. This can be achieved through two methods, first to establish new course related with digital industry and second is to be included in the existing course element.
Beside Dr. Siti Aisyah, there are two other speakers in this forum, Dr. Bhimo Rizky Samudro and Dr. Tri Mulyaningsih. This forum is attended by the faculty members of the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Jember.
