BACKGROUND OF CURRICULUM REVISION df

    Merdeka Learning Campus Merdeka (MBKM) is one of the policies of the Minister of Education and Culture. MBKM is implemented in order to prepare students to face changes in social, cultural, world of work and rapid technological advances and are more attuned to the needs of the times. In addition, to be able to make students educated, innovative, independent and have strong characters based on locality and existing local wisdom. The implementation of MBKM must be in accordance with the objectives and targets of implementation, namely achieving learning outcomes that include aspects of attitudes, knowledge and skills in an optimal and relevant manner.

    Based on Ministerial Regulation No. 3 of 2020 concerning National Higher Education standards, one of the Merdeka Campus policies is in the form of providing opportunities for students to be able to study for a maximum of 3 (three) semesters outside of their study program. In the form of 1 semester of opportunity to take courses outside the study program and 2 semesters of carrying out learning activities outside of tertiary institutions. Various forms of learning activities outside of tertiary institutions, including doing internships/work practices in industry or other workplaces, implementing community service projects in villages, teaching in educational units, participating in student exchanges, conducting research, conducting entrepreneurial activities, making studies/ independent projects, and following humanitarian programs. Through the mentoring process by lecturers, the MBKM program implemented is expected to provide field contextual experiences that will improve student competence as a whole, be ready to work, or create new jobs.

    At the University level, the Independent Learning-Independent Campus policy is contained in the Rector’s Regulation No. 25 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Academic Activities for the University of Bengkulu’s Vocational, Undergraduate, Professional and Postgraduate Education Programs. Article 7 mentions alternative courses, namely courses and learning processes that accommodate the Independent Learning-Independent Campus policy . The Independent Learning Policy-Independent Campus has become one of the indicators of higher education clustering, so Bengkulu University has made various efforts to encourage all study programs to implement this policy.

    The S1 Journalism Study Program, which has a vision of “ becoming a competitive S1 journalism study program at the national and ASEAN levels in 2025” , seeks to follow up on MBKM rules by implementing policies through implementation programs. Based on the Guidebook for the Implementation of the Independent Learning Policy on an Independent Campus in the university environment, especially the Journalism Study Program, the curriculum is prepared to be implemented for the 2021/2022 class.

    Curriculum changes in higher education are routine activities that must be carried out in response to the development of Science, Technology, and Arts ( scientific vision ), societal needs ( societal needs ), and the needs of graduate users ( stakeholder needs ). The preparation of this curriculum is the first step to standardize the application, or become a reference for the implementation of the MBKM program. So that later what the government policy is in accordance with the implementation at the University institution. In addition, for the S1 Journalism study program, which basically does require applied knowledge in theoretical applications, openly welcomes government regulations with transparent, systematic, and constructive implementation in accordance with the needs of the local and national regions.

    CURRICULUM DESIGN FOUNDATION

    Sociological Foundation

    The three targets of the graduates of the S1 Journalism Study Program are based on the results of the study program tracer, namely to become professional media workers (journalists), creative workers who produce works in the form of writing, images, videos, sound, or their combination, and applied researchers in the field of journalism. The progress of information and communication technology is very rapid, requiring graduates of the S1 Journalism study program to move quickly and follow the flow of society’s digital needs. So that the previous conception of thinking was more at the conventional level, leading to a modern way of thinking, without losing the ideals in journalistic ethics and the appropriate theoretical implementation.

    The S1 Journalism Study Program which requires a balance of theory and practice, seeks to form a blended learning to answer most of today’s needs. Several important local, national, and international studies that discuss media and journalism have emerged whose contents illustrate that the changing digital world shows that humans also need development both physically and non-physically in terms of work. Journalistic activities are no longer exclusively owned by journalists, to make news, one cannot only stand based on personal interests, but there is also a moral and ethical responsibility that must be maintained so that what is presented can bring social change in the system in society.

    Globalization that appears along with the needs and advances in information technology, opens opportunities for journalism students to develop themselves not only at the local level, but also nationally and even internationally. The talents they have must adapt to market needs and are based on local conditions which require them to adhere to the study program’s vision and mission to be able to adapt to changes. In addition, industry demands also encourage students to be skilled in all forms of digitization, including making designs, short films, writing narratives well, and always being critical and skeptical. Of course, this capital is not a finished product that can be obtained in a short time. need cooperation with all elements, educational institutions, private sector, government and society to make this happen.

    The right to learn in learning programs outside the study program refers to the following principles.

    1. Oriented to the fulfillment of Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL) in the Journalism S1 Study Program.
    2. Students who take learning outside the study program can be given to students who have entered the fifth semester, or have passed as much as 87 credits.
