UIN Antasari Holds Workshop on Curriculum Renewal, Policy Synchronization and Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (Independent Learning on an Independent Campus)
UIN Antasari, Banjarmasin – There are current developments and demands of the era of education in Indonesia, especially the program of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, namely the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM)/Merdeka Learning-Independent Campus. MBKM aims to encourage students to master various sciences to prepare them to enter the world of work. UIN Antasari responds by holding a renewal workshop curriculum, policy synchronization and independent learning on an independent campus, Wednesday (12/05/2022).
In the workshop which took place at the Mastur Jahri Auditorium, UIN Antasari and invited a Professor of Curriculum Development at the Faculty of Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Dinn Wahyudin, MA. The Rector of UIN Antasari Prof. Dr. Mujiburrahman, MA. said that in 2018, UIN Antasari had established the latest KKNI curriculum at that time but had not referred to the 4 pillars of scientific philosophy and the Strategic Plan of UIN Antasari Banjarmasin.
In 2021, he explained that UIN Antasari had compiled a new curriculum that was adapted to the University’s Vision and Mission and the 4 pillars of scientific philosophy but could not be completed because at that time UIN Antasari was busy with the accreditation process for study programs and institutions totaling 20 study programs, and they did not have enough time to complete.
“Alhamdulillah, this year we have time and the Vice Rector for Academic and Institutional Affairs at UIN Antasari is starting to move to encourage this curriculum change immediately, and according to our strategic plan target this year, it must be completed, so this is very important for us to pay attention to together,” said the Rector.
“Our activities today are very important, very important for the future of our campus and for the future of the younger generation of students studying on this campus,” said Mujiburrahman.
Meanwhile, the Vice Rector for Academic and Institutional Affairs, Dr. Hj. Nida Mufidah, M.Pd. as the chief executive of this workshop in her report said that the workshop was in response to the MBKM curriculum program from the Ministry of Education and Culture which is an educational approach that emphasizes the sustainability of the learning process in an innovative, interactive and effective manner.
