Abstract
Internationalization has been promoted in many universities worldwide to improve education management, students, and alumni within the dynamic era of globalization. Universitas Brawijaya (UB), as one of the leading universities in Indonesia, is also implementing the internationalization strategy to realize the mission and vision as a World Class Entrepreneurial University. One of the efforts in the internationalization strategy is the “3 in One” Program that involves visiting professors from foreign countries, practitioner-lecturers, and internal lecturers in the implementation of education, research, and community service. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the “3 in One” Program in UB by emphasizing students’ perspectives as service users of university services or UB services. The study was qualitative using a survey method. The population was all students in study programs that have joined the “3 in One” Program. Samples were chosen using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from Student Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) and semi-structured interviews. Findings showed that 212 respondents (87.6%) knew that the “3 in One” Program involved a visiting professor, a practitioner-lecture, and a lecture from UB. It is expected that UB could improve its socialization of the concept of the “3 in One” program within the study programs or UB’s lecturers and to students. The study programs are expected to have better preparations to minimize language barriers in the “3 in One” Program. The study programs and the university are also encouraged to conduct regular evaluations on the “3 in One” Program.
Highlights
The “3 in One” program is implemented through a learning process for certain subjects that involves a full-time lecturer and two part-time lecturers in the study program, a practitioner-lecturer competent in the field of study of the study program, and a foreign lecturer with international quality standards
Profiles of Respondents Based on the questionnaires filled in and returned by 242 students, the Public Administration Study Program had the most number of students as the research respondents with 136 students (Figure 2), followed by the Business Administration Study Program with 48 respondents
Information related to college life in the country of origin of the visiting professors was important and beneficial for the students
Summary
Education is a secondary need, yet it has such a significant role in our civilization and lives. The government of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education ( the Ministry of Education and Culture), has encouraged campuses all around the country to redesign their curricula to suit the changes of the era so they can produce graduates with the competence needed by the industry. Such a curriculum to achieve the goal is designed based on the principles of adult learning. All aspects are very important to produce university graduates able to compete in the dynamic world of work
