Student Learning Perception toward Inbound and Outbound Student Exchange Mobility in Science Education

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) become important key factors for producing qualified graduates and supporting creativity and innovation. The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program stive to link and match between higher education graduates is not only with the business world and the industrial world but also with rapidly changing future. The research subjects were outbound and inbound student exchange. Qualitative data is used to determine the students perceptions in learning activities at Science Education Study Program. Learning activities by inbound student at UNEJ used as making material in power point slides (ppt) for group presentations, discussing material and analyzing videos. In UNNES, outbound students get project assignments, progress and presentation in virtual meeting. Outbound students to UM are divided into several small groups to prepare papers, power points (ppt slide), video presentations and discussion through Sipejar.

The MBKM Programs in The Higher Education Settings: EFL Students’ Expectations

“…Furthermore, respondents wish to have a link and match between what they have on campus and in the workplace or industry. The findings are in line with Ahmad et al, (2022), who state that the MBKM program strives to link and match between university graduates and the business world. In the Community Service program, respondents expect to gain real-life learning experiences in the community and be part of the problem solvers in the villages.…”

“…The respondents, through the independent project, would like to explore their creativities, innovations, as well as their potential so that they can enhance their competitiveness both at the national and international levels. Ahmad et al, (2022), confirm that Indonesia's advanced and sustainable development must be supported by the creativity and innovation of human resources. Meanwhile, Citraningtyas et al, (2021) state that this program is the greatest way for students to gain more experience.…”

“…Learning transformation is required to equip and train higher education graduates to become an excellent generation, and possess the knowledge and skills necessary for entering the workforce and industry (Akmalina & Prastyo, 2023;Arrozi et al, 2022). However, the advancement of technology must be fully supported by the creativity and innovation of human resources (Ahmad et al, 2022). Student competencies must be developed to be more sensitive to the demands of the 21st learning paradigm to prepare students to face rapid changes in society and the workplace, as well as the challenges of rapid technology advancements (Dian et al, 2023).…”

“…According to Ministerial Decree Number 3, Year 2020 regarding the education national standard, a university should facilitate the students to take credits from outside of the institution for a maximum of two semesters, which is equal to 40 credits, and to take credits from several study programs within the same university for one semester, which is equal to 20 credits (Ahmad et al, 2022). Next, a university should create academic rules and/or guidelines to support outside learning programs, and it should provide a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the project partners.…”

The Influence of Stad Type Cooperative Learning Model on Heat Material and Its Transfer on Critical Thinking Ability and Science Learning Outcomes

“…The development of education is marked by advances in science and technology, causing each individual to have competitive abilities in developing their potential through the elaboration of abilities needed in the 21st century. In building sustainable education, Indonesia must be supported by the creativity and innovation of human resources (Ahmad et al, 2022). The abilities that must be mastered by individuals in the 21st century, namely 1) the ability to think critically; 2) collaboration between individuals with each other; 3) communication skills; 4) creativity and innovation; 5) technology, information, and communication literacy (Redhana, 2019).…”
