CURRICULUM REVIEW OF FREEDOM TO LEARN - INDEPENDENT CAMPUS OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY STUDY PROGRAMME

The bachelor of science in chemistry study program held a curriculum review of Freedom to Learn - Independent Campus program that had been compiled and developed by the UNY Chemistry Study Program curriculum team on Friday, 18 December 2020 through a zoom cloud meeting. This curriculum review activity was carried out by presenting the results of the review using instruments prepared by the faculty with Prof. Edy Cahyono from UNNES Chemistry study program as an external reviewer and Prof. Dr. Endang Widjajanti, LFX from the UNY chemistry study program as an internal reviewer.

In addition to presenting two extraordinary resource persons, the curriculum review activity which was carried out last Friday was also attended by the coordinator of the Undergraduate Chemistry study program who is concurrently the Chair of the Department of Chemistry, FMIPA, UNY, namely Dr. Retno Arianingrum, secretary of the Department of Chemistry Education, namely Erfan Priyambodo, M.Sc., and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UNY Chemistry curriculum team, namely Prof. Dr. Sri Handayani, M.Si., Prof. A.K. Prodjosantoso, M.Si., C. Budimarwanti, M.Si., Sunarto, M.Si. and Dr. Dyah Purwaningsih.

The curriculum review activity began with the opening and presentation of the MBKM curriculum by Dr. Retno Arianingrum, followed by a review by Prof. Edy Cahyono and Prof. Endang Widjajanti, LFX, as well as discussions with the curriculum team. Some notes and input from reviewers to improve the quality of the MBKM curriculum for Chemistry, FMIPA UNY, include the following.

  1. UNY already has guidelines for implementing the MBKM curriculum so that the implementation of the MBKM curriculum in Chemistry undergraduate study programs is expected to run smoothly.
  2. Additional CPLs need to be more specific and careful so that they do not overlap with the main CPLs.
  3. PKL and KKN activities need re-assessment. RPS as supporting evidence of the implementation of the MBKM curriculum needs to be corrected and measured.
  4. In principle, you do not have to change the curriculum but rationalize the curriculum so that it is compatible with MBKM.
  5. The MBKM curriculum review activities took place orderly and smoothly as planned.

Through this curriculum review activity, it is hoped that the quality of learning that takes place in the Chemistry undergraduate study program will improve its quality.
