In terms of its administration, the management of EUP prior to year 2008 is directly managed by
Head of Economics Department. And in year 2008, followed with change in organization structure of
FEUI, the management of Undergraduate Program is under Head of Undergraduate Study Program.
1.3 Milestone of EUP Department of Economics remains focused in improving teaching quality and courses structure of
undergraduate and its graduate programs. Milestones on study program development are shown in
Box 1. 2Box 1. 2.
Box 1. 2 Milestone of EUP
1998 - 2002 Economics Department received grants from 1998-2003 to improve the curriculum and quality of academic staffs (QUE Project) from Worldbank and The Ministry of National Education. Thirteen academic staffs are funded to take advance study (PhD program) in reputable foreign and domestic universities (see Appendix). The Department also conducted regular visiting professors that conduct workshop and collaborates with Department academic staffs in improving curriculum and give feedback on teaching and learning process in EUP. 2002 – 2005 Faculty of Economics through its research institute, LPEM, conduct various research cooperation on Decentralization with USAID that leads to visiting professor to US university and scholarships given to 5 junior researchers to continue a master program that later on 3 of them received scholarship for Economics PhD program in US. Through LPEM and LD FEUI and Department research center (LAB IE), there are continued scholarships offered to researchers, i.e. from Japan and Australia that later on after having their advance degree joining the Department as academic staffs. In this case, EUP also undergoing major curriculum development, especially in regard to teaching and learning system. During this period, EUP is accredited by BAN PT and receive A-accreditation. Stakeholder engagement is started by introducing alumni mailing list as well as academic staffs’ mailing list in the Department. 2005- 2009 Department receives PHK-B from Ministry of National Education (MoNE) for the period of 3 years. Part of the program is to link research and workshop experience on practical training to students, and in this case are EUP students. There is collaboration of academic staffs and EUP students in conducting and disseminating researchs aiming to improve capacity building of stakeholders in general (i.e. subnational and local governments). Improvement of teaching and learning process is intensified to spur innovation of academic staffs in creating and engaging student active learning. In this period, several courses are also taught in English which also aims the student exchange program. 2009 -2011 The administration of EUP is separated from Department, the program also setting up system on academics administration and student services. There are update of computer software and
20
improvement of journal and books collections in Economics Department Resource and Learning that mostly to support academic staffs teaching in EUP and students doing final project. EUP also put priority in monitoring student progress as well as on final project. There is a focus on mapping and improving competencies that will match the objective of high qualified graduates from EUP. In this period, there is effort to adopt competency based curriculum (KBK) as well as effort in Department in seeing curriculum development as an integral part not only associated with one specific study program, but also to overal curriculum in regard to Economics and applied Economics, and between graduate and undergaduate courses.

Chapter 2 The EUP’s Programs
2.1 Expected Learning Outcome
2.1.1 Formulation Process and Review The EUP has formulated expected learning outcomes based on an understanding that students
should possess some required competencies after they graduate. The competencies include
knowledge, skills, and attitudes, as well as professional ethics that make the students able to fulfill
job requirements, serve the society, and progress themselves as persons and professionals
throughout their life (i.e. life long learning).
Therefore, all learning processes to achieve the competencies and promote life long learning are
designed in a systematic way with appropriate curriculum structure and content, gradual
implementation toward full and convenient active learning process (i.e., student-centered learning),
and proper assessment method. The effort was initiated in 2008 as the Competency-Based
Curriculum (or KBK) firstly introduced in the University of Indonesia, resulting in the KBK 2009
document at the EUP level. Furthermore, the process continued until the end of 2011, which has
resulted in the KBK 2011 document.
The expected learning outcome is formulated mainly to fulfill stakeholders’ needs. There are at
least four main types of information required in the formulation process.
The first information is the visions and missions set at the levels of university, faculty, department,
and until the EUP. The learning outcomes in the EUP are made aligned with visions and missions
from the major institutions whose levels are higher. Information about the visions and missions
from each institution could be obtained from the related decrees of university, faculty, and
department respectively.
The second information is the job profile of the graduates. The job profile gives information
regarding different workplaces that had been occupied by the EUP’s graduates. It can also provide
details of job positions and minimum competencies required to fill the position. With a well-defined
job profile, it is expected that some necessary learning outcomes for the graduates can be more
clearly identified. This kind of information can be obtained particularly from tracer study to the
alumni and user survey. The study and the survey are routinely conducted in the EUP every three
years. Furthermore, the program can also acquire further details of information from the alumni
association in the faculty (called ILUNI FEUI) and informal sharing activities with the alumni through
mailing list forum (such as at the email address of [email protected] and
Since there were also many graduates who decided to pursue higher level of education, either
directly after they graduated or after they worked first for several years, the formulation of the
EUP’s learning outcomes needs more information. The third information is then regarding necessary
competencies for entering and studying at some major universities. The information is obtained
from several sources, such as from the respective universities’ alumni, brochures and websites, as
22
well as from scholarship donor or provider. Moreover, with the program’s partnership, particularly
in holding joint research with some universities like Australian National University (ANU), Melbourne
University, Vrije University (VU), University van Amsterdam (UVA), University of Groningen, Tillburg
University, and Harvard University, the information can also be collected directly from them.
Lastly but not least, the forth information needed to formulate the expected learning outcomes is
the evaluation results from the existing expected learning outcomes. The information is obtained
from the user survey, the EUP’s annual report, and the results of academic evaluation meeting held
at every semester by the head of the Department of Economics in coordination with the Vice Dean
of the Academics.
Combined with the four former types of information, the EUP improve, modify, or even remove the
existing expected learning outcomes and also, if necessary, formulate some additional expected
outcomes. Decisions to improve, modify, remove, or add expected learning outcomes are made
after all the information have been collected. They are discussed in several internal curriculum
meetings in the program intensively. The results are then consulted to and to be approved by the
faculty and the university before being shared to all the stakeholders and implemented through
several media such as website, catalogue book, and users meeting forum.
Prior to the start of every semester, lecturers from each course are also gathered to discuss the
syllabus of the respective course. The main intention of holding every syllabus discussion is to make
sure that the specific competencies from taking the course and for supporting the program’s main
learning outcomes could be achieved. For that reason, there are always reviews and also revisions
regarding the courses’ coverage, learning methods and activities, and assessment methods.
The achievement of the learning outcomes has so far been evaluated through several indicators, as
would be detailed in the last chapter of this report:
1. The successful rate of the graduates to present and defend their undergraduate thesis
examinations;
2. The average time length needed for the EUP’s graduates to get their first job or to obtain
formal admissions from universities where they want to take their master degree;
3. Complaints to graduates from their employers or the dropout rates of the graduates from
the universities where they pursue their master degree.
All the above indicators can reflect the effectiveness of graduates to achieve the expected learning
outcomes and meet the labor market and the destined university requirements. Moreover, with
such an assessment, there is a possibility to remove and modify the existing competencies or to add
some other competencies to be attained so that stakeholders’ needs can be more satisfied.
To make sure that the expected learning outcome is up to date and adaptable to the growing needs
of the stakeholders, review and evaluation are routinely conducted by the EUP every three years
with coordination with the department and the faculty. Latest information from both tracer study
and user survey are also used to do the review and evaluation.
23
2.1.2 The EUP's Expected Learning Outcomes In line with the visions and missions of the university and the faculty, the EUP’s visions are:
1. To achieve a comparable education standard with some best universities in Asia; and
2. To create conducive and harmonic academic environment for high quality learning and
research activity and to fulfill social responsibility.
Meanwhile, the missions of the EUP are:
1. To develop undergraduate curriculum with international standard and academic culture;
2. To cultivate economics graduates that comprehend economics and are capable of
performing economic data analysis; and
3. To improve graduates’ competitiveness in domestic and regional (Asia) labor market.
In 2011, the EUP conducted the tracer study, which surveyed the EUP’s graduates from batch 2002
until 2007 (i.e, the new graduates). According to the study, different batch has different proportion
of graduates who work in certain sector. Most graduates from batches 2002-2008, that is around
59-68 percent, work in private sector, whereas 27-36 percent of them work in public sector, and 5-
14 percent work in academic fields. On the contrary, there are only 15 percent of graduates from
the batch 2007 who work in private sector, while 56 percent of them worked in academic field.
However, this thing happens probably because the fresh graduates usually like to browse around for
jobs and use the campus job as transition to their preferable jobs.
In private and public sector, most graduates worked as junior assistant and junior economic analyst.
In academic field, most graduates worked as teaching assistant or junior research assistant. In the
private sector, banking sector was the main destination of the graduates, such as Panin Bank,
Standard Chartered Bank, and Mandiri Bank. In the academic field, graduates either worked in
research institution like LPEM, ERIA, and LD, or in the faculty.
In the user survey conducted in 2011, there are closed questionnaire to evaluate specific graduates’
competencies and open discussion to absorb users’ idea on graduates’ required or minimum
competencies. The result of the closed questionnaire is as revealed in the Table 2. 1Table 2. 1 below.
Overall, graduates’ performances were considered good. It is reflected from the score, which has
average equals to 4. Attention must be paid, however, for improving some competencies such as
public speaking, time management skill, and performing economic analysis. From the discussion, it
can be observed that the users (or employers) of the EUP graduates demanded the improvement of
the graduates’ skills particularly in public speaking (as it is also revealed from the questionnaire
result), conducting field research or survey, and interacting with counterpart.

Notes: 1=very poor; 2=poor; 3=fair; 4=good; 5=very good. These scores is obtained from
13 respondents of users from wide range of institutions.
From the information, in general, the EUP has aimed at producing graduates possessing the
following characters1:
1. High self-integrity;
2. Open minded, responsive to changes in science and technology and to problems facing the
society, especially those related to economic fields;
3. Keen and capable in applying their economic knowledge and skills for serving the society’s
productive activities.
4. Comprehending both economic knowledge and analytical tools to find, understand, explain,
and formulate solutions for certain economic problem;
5. Equipped with scientific basic attributes to think, behave, and act as real scientists;
6. Keen and capable to follow the development of economics and their major attributes.
In terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (as well as professional ethics), the expected learning
outcomes of the EUP are translated into the following competencies:

As can be observed from the above table, all major competencies are set to equip the graduates
with competencies required in the respective job fields (as professionals) or in major universities
destinations (as graduate student candidates). The competencies also cover generic (or
transferrable) skills and attitudes as well as specialized (or economic specific) knowledge and skills.
Some major kinds of generic skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and systematical thinking
are all included and mentioned explicitly. The skills are also practiced and demonstrated in almost all
parts of the EUP’s courses (as will be discussed in the Section 2.3 and 2.4 later on). Meanwhile, the
rests of the competencies fulfill the graduates with the specialized knowledge and skills. Here, the
specialized knowledge and skills are divided into general and specific economic knowledge and skills.
The former is more basic in nature and must be accomplished before achieving the later.
2.2 Program Specification
Program specification covers information for the EUP’s stakeholders regarding the EUP’s profile,
background, and structure; the detail of curriculum and the expected learning outcomes with their
supporting courses, credit and assessment system, learning process, facilities, and academic-non
academic staffs; and formal admission criteria to the program.
All information about the EUP’s program specification are all made available to students, student
candidates, and other stakeholders through several media, such as the EUP’s website at
26
http://www.econ.fe.ui.ac.id, the Course Catalogue Book, and the Academic Guidance Book. From
the web, several important information and links are shared, such as the EUP’s profile and
background, the expected learning outcomes, the admission criteria to the program, and links to the
faculty’s library database, publication, and academic information system. The Courses Catalogue
Book provides detailed information about curriculum of each program under the faculty, which
covers the curriculum structure, all courses available in the curriculum, the courses description and
credit, expected competencies (or learning outcomes) from taking each course, the courses
requirements, and when or at what stage each course can be taken by students during their study
period. More information regarding the modules or syllabus of each course is provided to students
the website. Moreover, the Academic Guidance Book is also available to provide students a step-by-
step direction in taking their study.
The EUP was graded A by the National Accreditation Body (BAN-PT) in two consecutive
accreditations in 2004 and 2009. Based on the Law No. 2, 1989 about the National Education
System, and Government Regulation No. 60, 1999 about the Higher Education, the National
Accreditation Body is the only independent body in Indonesia that has the authority to do the
accreditation of higher education.
There are seven elements or standards being reviewed during the accreditation process. Those
elements are:
Standard 1. Vision, Mission, Goals and Targets, and Strategy
Standard 2. Staff Management, Leadership, Management System, and Quality Assurance
Standard 3. Students and Graduates
Standard 4. Human Resources
Standard 5. Curriculum, Learning Process, and Academic Circumstances
Standard 6. Financing, Infrastructure, and Information System
Standard 7. Research, Social Responsibility, and Cooperation
The accreditation result reveals the achievement level of the university on meeting the quality
standards set by the BAN-PT. With the grade A, the EUP has been considered fully satisfying all the
standards set the BAN-PT.
Following the last accreditation process in 2009, the new so-called competency-based curriculum (or
KBK) was initiated. There was no big change in the course structure and content, but significant
improvement was made in the setting of the educational goals orientation. With the educational
goals orientation is directed to the achievement of competencies as the expected learning
outcomes, all the strategies made are also in support of it, albeit gradually.
In teaching and learning activities, the direction is toward the implementation of the Student-
Centered Learning (SCL). The EUP’s lecturers had been sent to participate in SCL training held by the
university since 2008. They were introduced with varied methods of doing the SCL in class. The
university also initiated to introduce and demonstrate the learning methods in a specific course to
the students at early semester (i.e., either at semester 1 or 2).
27
The uses of the SCL methods are to achieve and demonstrate variety of competencies, especially the
generic skills and the scientific attitudes, that also promotes life long learning skill for the students.
In 2011, almost all classes already implemented at least one of the SCL methods in their class
activities. The SCL methods used are discussion, collaborative learning (CL), case studies (CS),
problem-based learning (PBL), and E-learning (EL).
In accordance with the activation of the SCL methods, the student assessment strategy is also
changed. Prior to the SCL implementation, both mid-term and final exams dominate the student
assessment. Both exams together constitute 80 to 90 per cent of students’ grade. There is only 10 to
20 per cent left for other assessments, which mainly comes from quiz and/or home assignments.
Currently, both mid-term and final exams are, at the highest, 70 per cent of students’ grade. In the
Economics for Public Sector class, for example, the weight is even lower, only 60 per cent. The
remaining 40 per cent comes from scores taken in class activities and assignments.
The EUP followed the grade standard set by the university. The GPA of the students is scaled from 0
to 4. The final scores for getting an A (or equivalent to 4.00) ranged from 85 to 100. The final scores
for getting A- (3.70), B+ (3.30), B (3.00), B- (2.70), C+ (2.30), C (2.00), C- (1.70), D (1.00), and E (0.00)
are respectively within the ranges 80-<85, 75-<80, 70-<75, 65-<70, 60-<65, 55-<60, 50-<55, 40-<50,
and 0-<40. The minimum grade requirement to pass each course is C (2.00). The final achievement
of the graduates is based on the cumulative GPA for the whole semesters. The graduates are then
classified as Cum Laude, very satisfactory, and satisfactory if they reach the cumulative GPA >3.50;
2.75-3.49; and 2.00-2.74, respectively.
2.3 Program Structure and Content
The program structure of the EUP is designed following the credit-based system. To graduate from
the program, students must obtain at least 144 credits. Each credit is equivalent to three hours
study per week of the students, inside and outside classroom. The lowest course credit in the
program is one, and the highest is six, which belongs to the final project. Most courses in the EUP’s
program have two or three credits.
The current program structure is chosen to support the achievement of all the EUP’s expected
learning outcomes with a clear direction also toward the support of the university vision to become
the world-class research university. The early indication can be observed from the students’ final
project in the curriculum, which is to write economic thesis or independent study report based on
an intensive research activity or internship. Moreover, all courses are provided to enable students to
properly perform such research activity with adequate knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
In terms of knowledge, courses are ordered from basic level to intermediate and advance or specific
level. The course structure also provided an escalating achievement for such specific skills as the
ability to perform and write out (or present) critical economic analysis. At the same time, some
transferrable skills like communication, problem solving, and software or technology utilization,
together with the generic attitudes, are to be attained in almost all courses in the curriculum
structure. It could be done since the gradual implementation of the student-centered learning
process.
28
Apart from the transferrable (or generic) skills and attitudes that would be accomplished by
students during the whole stages (or years) of their study, the achievement of general and specific
economic competencies are set at different stage of study. Figure 2. 1Figure 2. 1 shows the mapping
of the whole transferrable and specialized competencies during each stage of students’ study
period.

The figure also reveals that some general economic knowledge and skills are to be obtained
earlier to support the achievement of the other general or the specific economic knowledge
and skills. Some specific economic skills are also set as requirement to achieve some higher
specific economic skills.
Basically, the curriculum structure of the EUP is shown in Figure 2. 2Figure 2. 2 below. It
indicates course classification and the way each course classification correlates with or
supports one another.
Figure 2. 2 The Curriculum Structure of EUP
As depicted in the figure, there are five main course classifications in the curriculum structure:
1. Basic university courses (compulsory), provided by the university and the faculty.
These courses comprise of lectures on Integrated Personality Skill (MPKT), Religion,
Art/Sport, Social Humaniora, and English which in total of 21 credits. The courses are
intended to equip students with basic necessary knowledge, soft skill, and attitude
required for undergoing their study in the university, hence must be taken by all the
students in the university. Moreover, the courses are also to inspire students with
social, culture, art, and history to make them have more sensitivity and awareness
toward their social life. With the 21 credits allocated, basic university courses are
broader, compared to the previous 2007 curriculum, which only had 12 credits.
2. Basic economics courses (compulsory), jointly provided by all undergraduate
programs in the faculty.
The courses are expected to give minimum (general) economic knowledge and skills
for students and also help them able to take higher level of economic courses, either
to satisfy the general economic knowledge and skills or the specific ones. The major
basic economic courses for example are Introduction to Economics 1 and 2,
Mathematics for Economics and Business, and Statistics for Economics and Business.
Compared to the 2007 curriculum, the total credit of the basic economic courses is
now lower, 43 credits compare to 31 credits. This is mainly the implication of more
credit allocated to the university basic courses.
3. Compulsory courses of the EUP, provided by the EUP.
The courses are provided for students to achieve both (additional) general and specific
economic knowledge and skills. Basic knowledge and skills obtained from basic
economic courses are strengthened and intensified here. The main intention is to
Basic economic courses 31 credits
Basic university courses 21 credits
Compulsory (& seminar)
courses 62 credits
Elective courses
24 credits
Final Research Project: Thesis/Internship/ Independent Study
6 credits

equip students with necessary knowledge and skills to perform and present deep and
scientific economic analysis in their final projects. Therefore, some specific courses are
introduced here, such as Indonesian Economy, Advanced Microeconomics and
Macroeconomics, Academic Writing and Presentation, Econometrics, and also Seminar
Courses of specific economic subjects. Compared to the 2007 curriculum, total credits
of the compulsory courses are the same with total credits of the 2007 compulsory
courses combined with the 2007 field courses that are now no longer exist.
4. Elective courses, provided by the EUP and other programs in the faculty and the
university.
The courses offer variety of subjects, from intermediate to advance level, from general
to specific economic subject, and from theoretical to applied subjects. Economic
Modeling, Development Economics, Introductory Game Theory, and Fiscal
Decentralization and Local Finance are just to name a few from total 38 courses
available. With the elective courses, students might get knowledge and skills more
than the minimum requirement of the program, and they also would be able to choose
variety of topics of their interests for doing their final project. Total credit allocated for
the elective courses is slightly higher than those in the 2007 curriculum.
5. Final project.
The final project is set as the program’s final assessment for student graduation. The
EUP suggested students to write bachelor’s economic thesis for their final project.
Alternative to undergraduate thesis, they can choose either writing internship report
or conducting independent study. They are allowed to do the final project after
fulfilling all the requirement courses, usually after completing the seventh semester.
By accomplishing the final (research) project, all the competencies obtained by the
students in the program would be demonstrated and evaluated.
The complete course name and classification can be observed in Table 2.3 below which also
specifies each course’s code and number of credit.

2.4 Teaching and Learning Strategy
Teaching and learning strategy formulated by EUP is aimed to achieve the stated expected learning
outcomes. The EUP also designs wide range of teaching and learning methods to ensure that the
students acquire the expected competences in the effective academic environment.
Learning and Teaching Strategy Development
The EUP realized the importance of immense learning opportunities to students through teaching material delivery that equip the students with concept, analytical, and technical tools needed to achieve the goal of education as well as the goal of specific course. These objectives comprises of to equip student with standard competences in economics area and to build characteristic simultaneously. Therefore, competent lecturer combined with proper teaching strategy will ensure the achievement these objectives. Strategy of teaching and activity design by the EUP is not formulated solely through one-way teaching, but also the students are placed as the center of the learning process. This particularly to make students to be active in taking hold of the understanding required in each course. In addition to conventional classical method, the EUP has adopted variety active teaching and learning methods, which are known as Student-Centered-Learning (SCL) and E-Learning Method Since 2008. In addition, in line with the vision of the University as research university and provide services to the community, the EUP establish some courses that put research and practical training/internship program into learning activity to equip the student with research skill needed. The following explanation shortly defines the active learning methods used by the EUP. The introduction of SCL as additional and alternative teaching strategy is in line with the concern of pursuing any strategy to meet the expected learning outcome. According to the ELO formulated, there are three main competencies that should be mastered by the graduates at the end of the training; it covers general economic knowledge, specific economic knowledge and general skills. As for the general skill acquisition, the SCL methods will give more opportunity for students to employ learning activities that develop their soft skills. The examples of these activities are presentation, discussion, team work and independent research and reading in more intensive manner compare to conventional teaching strategy. Furthermore, the adoption of SCL as alternative delivery methods in some courses will yield benefit to users. Based on user survey (explained in detail in chapter 7); the EUP found that it would be better if the graduates improve the interpersonal skills. It was shown from the latest survey that interpersonal skill obtain score of 3.8 and it is below the average score of users’ satisfaction. The SCL methods, again will intensify the training activities that related to the building of interpersonal skills and other soft skills that support the area of improvement. The following explanation, briefly describe the SCL methods that have been adopted by the EUP since 2008.
2.4.1 The Student Centered Learning (SCL) Method The SCL Method consists of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), CL (Collaborative Learning), and EL (Experiential Learning), which each can be described as follow: Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students understand about
a subject in the context of complex, multifaceted, and realistic problems. The goals of PBL are to
assist the students develop flexible knowledge, effective problem solving skills, self-directed
learning, effective collaboration skills and intrinsic motivation. Working in groups, students identify
what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information

Comment [N2]: Tambahan paragraf ini untuk merespon review BPMA untuk poin 4.2
46
that may guide to resolution of the problem. The PBL curriculum was developed in order to
stimulate the learners, assist the learners in seeing the relevance of learning to future roles,
maintain a higher level of motivation towards learning, and to show the learners the importance of
responsible, professional attitudes (Barrows, 1996).
Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of
learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. Collaborative
learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk
among themselves. The shared learning gives students an opportunity to engage in discussion, take
responsibility for their own learning, and thus become critical thinkers (Totten, Sills, Digby, & Russ,
1991).
Experiential learning engages the learner at a more personal level by addressing the needs and
wants of the individual. Experiential learning requires qualities such as self-initiative and self-
evaluation. The complete process allows one to learn new skills, new attitudes or even entirely new
ways of thinking. in order to gain genuine knowledge from an experience, certain abilities are
required: a) the learner must be willing to be actively involved in the experience, b) the learner must
be able to reflect on the experience, c) the learner must possess and use analytical skills to
conceptualize the experience, and d) the learner must possess decision making and problem solving
skills in order to use the new ideas gained from the experience.(Kolb, 1984)
The E-Learning Method can be explained as interactive study that utilizes computer and the
development of information technology to train and to teach which expectably can increase
knowledge and learning and soft skill, such as the critical thinking, problem solving, propose the
opinion, information gathered, etc. (Cummings, 2001).
These teaching methods have been strongly recommended to all courses. To make the transition
from single conventional method and to make student smoothly adapt with various methods
including SCL, jointly with the Faculty and the Department, the EUP has been delivering one-week
program for Introduction to University Academic System (PSAU) for the last 5 years. In this program,
the orientation is given to new student for the adapting to academic system and covers orientation
to the usage of SCL and E-Learning Method. This approach expectedly achieves the shift of students’
thinking from passive to be analytical, creative and innovative, while progress them to become life-
long learners.
The following table that lists of subjects offered in EUP and their learning methods can illustrate the
progress of implementation of mixture teaching methods. When some courses uses some specific
method of teaching and learning, the other courses will combine some method of teaching and
learning in learning process. Overall, all topic uses active learning study methods or combination
between conventional and active learning method. For some considerations that active learning
method is not implemented, are characteristic and content of subject and number of student
enrolled for one particular subject (small and big class).

Note: PBL=problem based learning, CL=collaborative learning, EL=e-learning, Lab=Laboratory
In addition to the alternatives of using CL, PBL and EL, the EUP has managed many laboratories
sessions in teaching. This high intensity of using lab session is also considered as benefit for
graduates since it will equip them with specific skills required in the workfield. From table above, it
is shown that the proportion of classes that use lab session is considerably high, it is around a
quarter of total class.
On the other hand, we should note that the introduction of various teaching methods especially SCL
is quite new for the EUP. Evaluation conducted by some of the courses adopted SCL shows different
result. The early evaluation shows that in some courses, it is found that the average grade of
students are higher under the SCL compared with conventional teaching but in contrary for some
other courses. At the early period of implementation, SCL was against majority preference of using
conventional teaching method especially from senior lecturer. However, in the current curriculum
revision toward KBK curriculum, the possibilities of using SCL in number of classes might have a
great opportunity for improvement.
At the beginning of each semester, lecturers are required to produce and to distribute to students a
complete teaching plan. Outline of the teaching program or GBPP (Garis Besar Pokok Pengajaran),
course activities or Satuan Acara Perkuliahan (SAP), and syllabus are instruments that should be
prepared for the whole semester including method of delivery, media/references/textbook used,
and methods of evaluation. In the upcoming KBK curriculum, there is only learning activity plan or
Buku Rencana Pembelajaran (BRP) and syllabus as the instruments. BRP replaces the use of GBPP
and SAP. All of these instruments are developed according to the format and national standard of
curriculum and be ensured align vision and mission of the EUP.
Curriculum implementation is continuously monitored and reviewed by quality assurance body at
the Faculty (UPMA) and University level (BPMA). Detailed information of these units are explained in
Criterion 11. Primarily, the peer groups that consist of lectures that usually specialized in some
topics for each course are also responsible to have discussions in order to develop the syllabus. In
the meeting, the peer groups also manage in-depth evaluation about the implementation of the
courses in past, including reviewing the students’ academic performances (pass rate, grade
distribution) and also sharing the difficulties met by lectures and any inputs/suggestion derived from
lecturers. The development of the forthcoming syllabus will be based on those reviews. The
coordination brings the benefit to standardize the teaching quality among lectures and to reduce
the variation of teaching quality, in particular for the parallel-class.

2.4.2 Learning Activities In addition to main class activities for some courses, students must also attend the tutorial class
and/or laboratory class. The purpose of the tutorial and laboratory class is to intensify and enrich
the course materials understanding and to increase competencies of graduates. Particularly, in
laboratory class instructor/tutor will introduce to student how to use some statistical software in
order to understand the material of study as well as to conduct the research introduction. The
senior students provide assistance or instructor. The Faculty also publishes the Academic Guideline
Book earlier in each academic year as guidance for lecturers and students to implement teaching
learning process.
The EUP also serve basic compulsory courses that offered to undergraduate students in FEUI from
accounting and management study programs. Therefore, for each semester and given large number
of students, EUP open parallel classes system for courses generally ranged from 10 to 15 classes for
each course. To assure that all parallel classes establish the same standard of learning quality, there
is one sylabus for each course that applies to all parallel classes and a standard of course material
and course assessment to all those parallel classes. Table 2. 8Table 2. 8 shows the list of courses set
as parallel that offered in EUP.

2.4.3 Research Activity
2.4.3.1 Research activities by academic staffs and students
The EUP realizes that important role of research to support teaching and learning activities. This also
in line with the vision of the University to become a core center (center of excellence) and be at the
forefront of research. University focuses on effort to conduct leading/key-cutting edge research
supported by all component of UI, including the staff and students (Board of Trustees of the
University Decree (SK MWA 005/SK/MWA-UI/2007)). Explicitly, it is stated that the university sets
the target to become a world-class research university and that has to be realized by the year 2012.
in particular, the Indigenous Studies have been designated as the five priority fields of research
(Priority Research Tree University of Indonesia, 2007).
To facilitate staffs for research activities, the EUP gets support from research institutions managed
by the the Department and the Faculty. The staffs have an affiliation to several institutions:
49
1. Institute for Economic and Social Research (Lembaga Penyelidikan Ekonomi dan
Masyarakat/LPEM)
2. Demographic Institute (Lembaga Demografi/LD)
3. Currently, the Faculty also is forming The Public Policy Studies that are composed through
multidisciplinary studies and research activities. The purpose is to stimulate world-class
policy researches, which extend to connect between research and its research users. It is
conducted through interdisciplinary approach by pooling leading figures with expertise from
many disciplines within the University of Indonesia. The purpose is to keenly serve our
clients, the research users. In one side, they are decision makers: in the government, public,
business and industry sectors who seek policy options, expertise-advice or second opinion;
and at the same time they are members of the society who need our advocacy.
In addition, staffs are also allowed to perform individual independent research and participate in the
various research grants nationally, regionally, and internationally. The University and the Faculty
through Department of Economics support several research grant schemes. The research grants are
provided by the University regularly which the information of those competitive funds are available
in the University website and managed by the Directorate of Research and Community Service or
DRPM. The university conduct competition based grant with with a rigorous selection system. The
Department also provides fund that aim to improve research skill. A part of the research funds are
allocated to involve undergraduate and graduate students in research activities, while some
portions of the funds are used to purchase data or statistical software needed to conduct the study.
The following Table 2.9 shows the research projects that are conducted by the staffs from various
funding schemes. Table 2.9 shows that in total the number of research activities have been
increasing dramatically over the last five years.

EUP also strongly support the research activities that involves students. Students at the EUP develop
their research skill through conducting their own research at the last semester through Final Project
Thesis or become research assistance in research conducted by academic staffs. The following table
provides information about number of research conducted by students EUP through Final Project
Thesis for the year 2006-2010.

2.4.3.2 Publication
The Department facilitates publication for all staff that are affiliated to the EUP and external authors
to enhance the academic review and discussion through several publications. There are four
publications managed by the Department:
1. Journal Indonesian Economy and Development (Jurnal Ekonomi Pembangunan Indonesia)
since 2001 (ISSN: 1411-52512). In each publication, the journal publishes 5-7 research
51
papers written by academic staff and students. The journal is already acknowledged and
received accreditation from Ministry of Education (No.43/DIKTI/Kep/2008).
2. Economics and Finance in Indonesia (EFI). EFI managed by Institute for Economic and Social
Studies (LPEM), which covers wide range of research project, reports that are rewrited as
academic articles. Within the institution, the research output also published in staff and
working paper.
3. Journal of Population (JOP). JOP facilitates articles related to demographic area and
managed by the Demographic Institute.
4. Journal of Economic Policy (JKE). JKE publishes many articles on economic policy and
managed by Posgraduate Program of Economics and Public Policy (MPKP).
In addition to the internal media of academic pulications, the staff of the EUP are also encouraged
to participate to publish their article in national and international level including participations in
conferences. The following Table 2.11 summarizes the number of participations of these activities.

2.4.4 Course Related to Research Consistent with the vision of the University of Indonesia to become a research University, the EUP
also has developed materials and learning processes by putting rresearch as part of the educational
process. The course where students entirely conduct their own individual in-depth-research are
Independent Study, Internship, and Thesis which taken during their last semester. The other courses
develop research skill of student by reviewing literatures on selected topics, identifying and
analyzing the current problems related to the interested studied, and designing the research
method. Conducting small research related to the topics delivered in the courses will develop the
research skill. The courses are including the seminar course related to specialization of study chosen
by student and also the other courses that basically introduce the students to the research method
and skills needed to conduct the research appropriately, such as Research Method, Statistics, and
Econometrics. While the statistics class was taught in first semester, the econometrics was taught in
third semester and Research Method in the fifth semester. Students also can learn about usual
quantitative software used in economics by attending the training organized by student organization
under EUP.

2.4.5 Practical Training or Internship Program EUP also establish internship or practical training program since academic year 2004/2005. This
course prevails as an alternative for final project at the last semester. The ultimate goal of this
course is to provide opportunity to students to practice the knowledge they get along their study
and to understand the real situation in the research and economy world. Therefore, students will be
required to work for three months at research company/institution or government institutions that
have cooperation (MoU) with EUP to conduct practical training/internship program. Along the
execution of the training, lecturer and supervisor will guide the students. At the end, the student
must submit the practical training report, which can be named as final project report.
The institutions that have cooperation with EUP to conduct practical training program are:
- Economics Laboratory-Department of Economics, FEUI - Social Economic Research Institute FEUI - Demographic Instituteon FEUI - Ministry of Finance - Bank of Indonesia - World Wildlife Fund (WWF) - Social Monitoring and Early Response Unit (SMERU) - Mandiri Sekuritas
53
- Mandiri Syariah - Bahana Sekuritas - Danareksa - Trimegah Sekuritas - Implementation Monitoring Committee of Regional Autonomy (KPPOD) - Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)
- Insan Hitawasana Sejahtera (IHS) - Urban and Regional Development Institute (URDI) - The Commision for the Supervision of Business Competition (KPPU)
However, not many students are interested to participate in the practical training/internship program as it is expected by EUP. It is the case, as the institutions require the student to work full time, when the students still have the compulsory to take other course in campus. This time-constrain becomes the main problem for this program/course. EUP has encouraged student to have this course during their holidays or between semesters.

2.4.6 General Lecture In order to enhance student insight on practical about some topic in economy, EUP has also
arranged some general lecture that represents academician from other education institution or
practitioner, such as:
Prof. Masahiko Takeda (Hitotsubashi University, Japan) Prof. Neil McCulloch (Institute of Development Studiies Sussex University, UK) Prof. Takeshi Daimon (Waseda University) William Wallace (World Bank) Subham Chauduri (World Bank) Enrique Blanco Armas (World Bank) Vivi Alatas (Worldbank-Indonesia) Sjamsu Rahardja (Worldbank-Indonesia)
The students are free to choose their major of study and some elective course according to their
interest and study-performance. Some focuses of study provided by EUP are monetary economics,
international economics, regional economics, industrial economics, human resources economics,
public economics, and resources economics.
54
The students also free to choose among course: final project, independent study, or practical
training/internship program as their final project at the last semester. The following table lists
number of students participates in final project as the requirement for graduation.

2.4.7 Teaching and Learning Environment EUP has established infrastructure to support the implementation of the teaching and learning
strategies. EUP provides Academic Supervisor to a group of students which refer to Rector Decree
No. 012A/SK/R/UI/2007, an academic advisor is responsible for offering academic advices in term of
selection on course subjects, number of credits, and study plan, and also evaluating academic
performances of the students until their graduation.
Learning resources are generally textbooks, journals and the internet. In each budget year, EUP
provides new textbook for library, Resource and Learning Center FEUI, and Teaching and Research
Center Department of Economics FEUI. University jointly managed with Faculty, Department, and
Program has subscribe the online journal and databases that can help lecturers and students to
access the article of journal and data to support the active learning and research conducted by
lecturer and students. The following table lists online journal and database available in EUP. In
addition, teaching resources can also be accessed from open sources via the internet.

When teaching, most lecturers have utilized the advantage of computer multimedia equipment and
information technology facilities. Almost all courses have employed MS. Power Point in the process
of teaching and learning in classrooms. Giving the material and the task to the students is often
distributed via the internet by establishing a mailing-list or via E-learning Facility
(www.Scele.ui.ac.id).
Student also can access the catalogue of books available in Library by using On-Line Information
System. For lecturer, they can also get the input for the improvement and development of the
teaching and learning quality in their taught course from the students by accessing the student
evaluation or EDOM (www.edom.ui.ac.id). Evaluation of lecturers by students (EDOM) is compulsory
for students and a prerequisite before they access the detail of their evaluation. The evaluation is
done every semester and completely anonymous.
The EUP also provides computer facilities to support the teaching and learning process for students and lecturers. The computer facilities are available in EUP to support teaching and learning or the case of quantitative courses. Use of computer lab for courses that require computer simulation is very useful in the teaching-learning process, where students can directly work on assignments or case studies in classrooms with the supervision of lectures or tutors, or to use the lab by working individually with his/her learning process. The use of computer facilities for students to do homeworks or assignments is available as there are computer lab classrooms that can be used as well as general open-access computer lab. However, for most of students, they generally do assignments using their own laptops, and in this case, classrooms alongside with classrooms hall is facilitated with electricity access circuits. Table 2.16 shows computer facilities in the FEUI in terms of computer laboratory classrooms, open access computer facilities (non-classrooms facilities), and administrative use.

2.5 Student Assessment Student have to go through a written exam to compete with other students who would like to enter
the EUP, Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia. However, there is also a special invitation for
top rank students during high school and who won a science olympic. During their period of study at
the EUP, students will also face several evaluation, not only evaluation on each courses they take in
each semester, but also a periodic evaluation on their study achievement. At the end of their study
period, student will have to work on a final project, and they will be evaluated based on the final
project they have worked on.
2.5.1 Student Entrance
In general, since 2005, there are two selection processes for students enrolling University of
Indonesia (UI); the national selection process, or known as SNMPTN, and the selection process
conducted by UI itself.
1. National Selection Process
The SNMPTN, which stands for “Saringan Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi”, is the selection
process conducted by a committee formed by the Directorate General of Higher Education (DG-HE).
This selection process is carried out in the national level, where student compete with other
students coming from across Indonesia. Information about SNMPTN is available at
http://www.ui.ac.id/id/admission/page/snmptn.
This national selection process itself is divided again into two mechanisms, the written examination
and special invitation. In the first mechanism, student must undertake a written examination, where
several subjects are being tested. While the special invitation is a mechanism, where invited schools
from every part in Indonesia, have a right to recommend their best students to enroll the university
without having to go through the examination selection process.
The requirements for students to apply through this special invitation mechanism, are students in
their last year of senior high, and are in the 10%-25% top ranks in their school, consecutively, from
the first semester, until the fifth semester of their high school period. A team from the university
will then select list of invited student. This team consists of one person (the dean or vice dean) that
will represent each faculty. Student candidates will be ranked based on department they choose.
Rank is made based on highest average gotten based on 5 chosen subject which is appropriate with
department chosen by student candidates (Bahasa Indonesia, English, Mathematics, Economy,
History, and Geography). Scoring is weighted based on performance history student candidate in
their school
58
2. UI Selection Process
Selection process conducted by UI is known as SIMAK UI. This process is a written examination
selection process. The difference between SNMPTN and SIMAK UI is that through SNMPTN, student
can only apply for the regular undergraduate program and student may apply to several study
programs in several universities. While through SIMAK UI, student may apply several programs to
enroll in UI; beside the regular undergraduate program, there is the diploma program and the
Double degree international class. Information about this selection process can be seen through
http://penerimaan.ui.ac.id..
Previously, the proportion of students entering UI through the selection process conducted by UI is
larger than the national selection process. However, since 2011, referring to the Ministerial Rule
no.34/2010, of the Ministry of Education, the proportion of student selected through the national
selection process is larger. The proportion from the national selection process, minimum is 60%,
while from the UI selection process is 40%.
Beside the written examination, UI also has other channel for student to enroll. This scheme was
provided since 2008. The schemes are:
1. KSDI, stands for Kerjasama Daerah dan Industri, is a program developed between the
university and the local governments or industries who nominate and sponsor students
based on the development scheme in their respective region. However since 2008, FEUI
dismissed the scheme, so there were no students entering FEUI through this scheme
anymore.
2. UMB, or Ujian Masuk Bersama, is a written examination selection process, organized jointly
by 5 state universities
3. Prestasi, is an entrance scheme for students who have achievement in sport, art or won an
Olympic science, have a privilege to enter UI through this scheme.
Difference in the entrance scheme does not affect the quality of the students. Table 2. 17Table 2. 17
below show that the difference in GPA does not differ much. Student entering through SIMAK,
SNMPTN and UMB have GPA, the lowest is around 2,6. These students are also able to compete
with special invitation students, as shown by the maximum GPA from SNMPTN/SIMAK/UMB is
around 2,5 up to 3,7 almost the same as students entering through the special invitation scheme.

2.5.2 Student Academic Progress
The assessment process for active students during their study period in Universitas Indonesia, refer
to the (Peraturan Majelis Wali Amanat Universitas Indonesia No. 006/MWA-UI/2005). The Rules are
written in the FEUI’sAcademic Guideline book that is given to each student when they enter the
university. During their study period, student will face two types of evaluation, which are:
1. Evaluation on each course
During their study in FEUI, there are several competencies in terms of knowledge, skill and attitude
that are expected to be achieved by the students. Each course will be designed to support the
competencies that is possible to be achieved through that course. The expected competencies to be
achieved is then implemented in the activities and teaching material that will be given from the
specified course, and will be used to determine the evaluation components and will be applied as a
standard to assess the students. Below is an example of the expected competencies achieved,
teaching method and evaluation criteria from the Statistic for Economic and Business Course.
Table 2. 18 Competencies Achieved, Teaching Method and Evaluation Criteria

Thus, beside lecturing and tutorial, there are several teaching methods applied to achieve the
competencies objective. And the competencies objective and teaching activities will then contribute
to the students’ final score. Below is an example of evaluation components for the specified course
above.
Table 2. 19 Evaluation Components for the Specified Course
Description Weight (%)
Attendance, Quiz, Class participation and discussion,
Group’s Case study/Presentation
Homework/assignments, tutorial, computer lab
Overall, maximum 60%
Midterm exam Minimum 20%
Final exam Minimum 20%
Total 100
In general, written examination is conducted twice for each course in each semester. However,
written examination is not the only way to evaluate students, some courses may not conduct
written exam, but evaluation are conducted through a final paper. Again, this is according to the
courses learning objective, which depends on the competency that are going to be achieved.
The minimum passing grade for each course is C, and if they do not pass the course, students have
to retake the course at the next semester, where the course is available. Student may take leave or
absence from schooling activities for maximum two semesters. In this instance, the maximum study
length period will be adjusted.
Appeal Procedure are also available. If score result are unsatisfying for the student, they may
consult to the lecture, and ask about the reason behind their score. If revsion in score is needed, the
lecture of that specific course may submit a score revision letter to the Academic Bureau, to revise
the score.
2. Drop-out Evaluation
61
Periodically students are evaluated to determine the possibility to continue their study in the
university. For undergraduate student, dropout evaluation is conducted in the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and at
the end of their final year. Student is considered not able to continue their study, if they could not
obtain a minimum score of C (or a minimum GPA of 2,00) for the total credit taken in each of the
evaluation period, or for 24 credits in the 2nd semester; 48 credits in their 4th semester; 96 credits
in the 8th semester, and 144 credits in their last year period, in each of the evaluation period.
Each student is attached to his or her academic advisor. Before registering the chosen courses for
each semester, students should consult it with their academic advisor. Their academic advisor will
also monitor the progress of their students, thus those who have indications of failing the evaluation
process will monitored more, and advised to work harder or to withdraw before being dropped out.
More attention is given for students on the eighth and twelfth semesters.
Figure 2. 4 Number of Dropped Out Students
Since 2005 until 2010, overall, the average number of dropout students from the department of
Economics, is 1.3 students per year.
2.5.3 Graduating Students
To graduate from their study, student must write a final project, and to be able to write their final
project, student must fulfill at least 138 credit units. Each student will have one academic staff who
will act as a supervisor, to assist them during their writing process. At EUP, student has three
choices upon writing their final project, which are:
i. Skripsi (undergraduate thesis)
Student who chooses to write a skripsi as their final project will have one lecturer that will
act as their supervisor that will assist them during their writing process. Their undergraduate
thesis supervisors are selected based on the expertise, which is inline with the thesis topic.

During the writing process, student will have to consult and report their writing progress to
their supervisor. The supervisor decides the decision when a student is able to take their
final examination. In the final examination, student will present their research result, which
is written as their skripsi, to the examination board. Besides presenting their skripsi, they
will also have a comprehensive test, where their knowledge and understanding on basic
theory are evaluated.
ii. Independent Study
Studi mandiri is another alternative for student to finish their study. The difference between
studi mandiri and skripsi, beside from the credit point, is the deepness of the analytical and
writing process. Skripsi is weighted 6 credit points, while Independent Study is 3 credit
point. The difference in the weight of credit points between skripsi and independent study
cause the student to take an additional course in order to fulfill the total credit points
required to graduate.
Regarding to the writing process, in studi mandiri, student choose a seminar course, where
they then choose one topic from that course to develop further, and make a final report on
the topic. To answer their hypothesis, student may use several methodologies, such as
literature review, descriptive or empirical study. In this case, student does not have to build
a model as a part of their analysis. Where as in skripsi, students must have developed a
model, collect data, and run their model, to answer their hypothesis. Student will be
supervised by an appointed supervisor from EUP, during writting their final project.
iii. Internship
Students have the opportunity to work in an institution that has collaboration with the
department of economics. Through this program, students could apply the knowledge they
have obtained during their study period, and at the end of their internship period, students
will have to write a report, based on what the work they were involved in the institution.
Student will have two supervisors, one supervisor from the institution where they work, and
the other is from the faculty. Internship, including the final report writting process, is
weighted 6 credit points.
Below is the number of students graduating, according to the final projects taken. It is
shown that most of the students finish their study by writing final project. It is in accordance
with the EUP learning objectives that students are preferred to finish their study by writing a
thesis.

According to the tracer study, problems generally faced by students when writing their final project
report, beside data availability, are not being satisfied with their supervisor because of the minimum
number of consultation time. If student are not satisfied with their supervisor, they may ask the
department to shift to other supervisor. Since 2008, there are 4 students recorded who change their
supervisors. Beside time availability, one of the students had to change because they could not
finish their thesis on time, and the supervisor could not continue supervising.
As have been described previously, student will be given a supervisor, regardless their final project
writting process. EUP will appoint academic staff to supervise students. Thus student and their
supervisor will develop a timeline for the students as a guidline for the students, to finish their final
project in time. Included in the time plan are meeting plan and submitting report.
Student may choose the process to write their final written project. However, the final examination
they face will be the same, regarding on how they write they final written project. Final evaluation is
conducted based on the Rector’s Decree no. 491/SK/R/UI/2004. Students may go through their final
exam, if their supervisor has decided that they are compatible to go through the exam, and have
fulfilled several requirements, i.e.:
- Minimum GPA is 2.00
- Have finished all the courses required, with the minimum total credit of 144 credits
- Does not exceed the maximum study period, which is 6 years (12 semester) for the undergraduate program.
There are three focuses being evaluated in the final examination, which are the skripsi writing
process, presentation and theoretical examination. The criteria of each focus are presented in Table
2. 21Table 2. 21. In this final examination, student must present their final project. In this occasion,
they will also face a comprehensive test, where students are assessed on their knowledge on what
they have learn during their study period in the university.

Chapter 3 Academic Staffs and Support System
3.1 Academic Staff Quality
Department of Economics manages academic staffs that cover from recruitment process, support
and evaluation of their teaching and researches, as well as appraisal of academic staff performance
coordinated with the University and Faculty (FEUI).
3.1.1 Recruitment and Promotion Criteria The recruitment scheme in UI has experienced changes along with the changes of UI’s status from
state university (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (PTN)) to Badan Hukum Miliki Negara (BHMN) in 2000,
through the Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah (PP)) No. 152/20004. Thus, during year
of 2000 until 2011, University of Indonesia and other seven public universities are managed based
on regulation of BHMN, an autonomous entity owned by Government. These public universities,
based on that regulation, can independently recruit and appraise off its employees: academic staff
as well as support staff.
According to the Rector Decree No. 568/SK/R/UI/2005, the Board of Trustee (MWA UI) Decrees No.
01/SK/MWA-UI/2003, and No. 07/SK/MWA-UI/2006, recruitments of full-time Academic Staff are in
the form of UI-BHMN academic staff. As a result, there are two employments, employees under
under the PNS (Pegawai Negeri Sipil-Civil Servant) status. Employees classified under the PNS status
are employees recruited when UI was under the PTN status; while the UI-BHMN employee status is
given when UI had been changed to BHMN. However, UI-BHMN status only applies up to 2009. The
next recruitment is fully returned to the PNS5 scheme, although in 2008, there were already
employees recruited under the PNS scheme. Figure 3.1 portrays the changes of employee status in
UI, and Figure 3.2Figure 3.2 below shows the number of academic staff recruited along the period of
2000-2008.
4 The University status then change from BHMN to Badan Hukum Pendidikan (BHP) in 2009 through Law (Undang-undang (UU)) No. 9 Year 2009. This Law is subsequently called off by the Makamah Konstitusi Number 11-14-21-126-136/PUU-VII/2009 dated March 31, 2010. The abolition has made the government to issue PP No. 66 Year 2010 which in one of the articles states that UI is declared as a PTN through a President Regulation (peraturan presiden) which up to current time is not available yet. During the transition period, UI status is, therefore, as an BHMN as long as its function to perform higher eduction is not contradicted with PP No. 66 Year 2010 downloaded on December 21, 2011, at 10:06 AM and Johanes Gunawan in Koran Tempo, Monday, November 28, page A10) 5 Both as PNS and UI-BHMN status, employees in UI basically consist of academic staff and support staff.
66
Figure 3.1 The Changes of Employee Status
Figure 3.2 Number of Recruited Academic Staff 2005-2010
As described, it is shown in the figure above, in 2008, UI decided to recruit academic staff under the
PNS status. In that year, there were in total 6 academic staff recruited, through the two status
(BHMN and PNS). Year 2009 was the last period where an academic staff was recruited under the
UI-BHMN employments, as a result of the abolishment of UI-BHMN status through Law 9/2009.
67
Figure 3.3 Educational Attainment of Academic Staff Teaching ECON Courses*
*ECON is a code to indicate courses provided by the EUP
Based on Dean Decree No. KPTS/367/D/2006, staff recruitment is conducted if he/she meets the
competences required by the department, program or institution and holds at least master degree
from universities acknowledged by UI. This minimum educational requirement is inline with the Law
14/2005, which regulate about the minimum educational attained for undergraduated program
lecturer. However, staff academic with Ph.D degree or Ph.D candidates are preferred. Currently,
there is 52% of academic staff holding Ph.Ds, 46.0% holding master degree, and only 2% holds
bachelor degree. Figure 3.3 below also shows that bachelor degree holders are declining over time.
The number of academic staff in Prodi S1 fluctuates over the period. It is in accordance with the
number of classes opened and students in each semester.
In terms of expertise, UI has its own expertise classification criteria. However, if follow the criteria imposed by UI, all the EUP academic staff will be classified into one expertise classification, public policy. Thus, EUP has its own expertise classification, by classifying its academic staff based on the concentration courses offered to EUP students. There are 7 concentration courses under EUP, however, since there are other expertise with numerous amount of experts, thus we also add Development Economics, Quantitative Economics, Islamic Economics and Finance, and others, as an additional expertise qualification.

Figure 3.4 below shows the number of academic staff based on area expertise.
Figure 3.4 Number of EUP Academic Staffs Based on Area of Expertise : Odd Semester 2011
The career path of academic staff refers to Law no.14 year 2005. Academic staff who will be
promoted is proposed by the Department. According to the law, there are 4 stages of career path,
and the top level of career an academic staff could reach is Professor. The Council of Professors
(Dewan Guru Besar) is involved in the process of promoting an academic staff starting on the
process to promote the staff to become Lektor Kepala.
When an academic staff is promoted to be a Professor, there is a mentoring mechanism by a senior
Professor. During this mentoring session, the Professor candidate will have a regular meeting with
the mentor, to be encouraged and assisted in making research, journal articles and other activities,
to increase their credit score (KUM score), and be able to reach the minimum score to be promoted
as a professor. Staff academics will be grouped based on their expertise, and will be attached to
professor based on their expertise. Table 3. 1Table 3. 1 below shows the academic career path, and
the minimum KUM score to be promoted to the specified level. While components of activities,
which can add to this KUM scores are presented in the table 1 of the appendix.

During the BHMN status, the Board of Trustee of UI once issued a decree stating academic staff who
have achieved the cumulative score between 400-549 can be promoted as Assistant Professor, while
those who have achieved cumulative score between 550-849, can be promoted as Associate
Professor. In other word, Referring to the table above, Lektor Kepala is equal to Associate Professor
or Assistant Professor, depending on the cumulative score achieved.
Referring to the age structures of staff academics in EUP, most of the staff academics are in the class
of 35-55 year old.
Figure 3.5 Age Structures of Academic Staff
The University of Indonesia provides a media to monitor rank promotion process of an academic staff--that is through the SIPEG. SIPEG is a web-based Staffing Information System which has been integrated with all other systems in UI6, for example with SIAK-NG (Academic Information System), SIRIP (Research and Community Service Information System), and others. The Rector of the University requested all academic staff to update all of their academic-activity records (research, teaching/lecturing, community services) and upload them to http://sipeg.ui.ac.id on September 1, 2008. One function of SIPEG is that the system eases the calculation of academic staff credit numbers (angka KUM) which is normally used for rank promotion (kenaikan pangkat). However, even though rarely happens, it possibly occurs that an academic staff does not have his/her rank promotion for years. One reason is his/her research, teaching/lecturing, and/or community service credit number is sufficient for promotion. If he/she is a UI-BHMN employee, the Faculty can propose to the University for his/her termination. If he/she is a PNS employee, the
6 (http://www.ui.ac.id/download/files/migrasi-domain.pdf).
70
termination request from the University and the Faculty should be submitted to Directorate General of Higher Education of Ministry of National Education (DGHE of MoNE).
3.1.2 Roles of the Academic Staff In realizing UI vision to be a research university with an international reputation, UI formed dosen
inti—classified further into dosen inti penelitian and dosen inti pengajaran7. Dosen Inti Penelitian
(Research-Core Staff) is a group of academic staff whose time allocation is more for research in their
fields. This group has teaching load of not more than 6 credits per semester. Dosen Inti Pengajaran
(Teaching-Core Staff) is a group of academic staff whose time allocation is more for
teaching/lecturing. Their teaching/lecturing load is not less than 4 credits per semester and
maximum of 18 credits per semester or with accumulated load in a year of minimum of 12 credits
and maximum of 36 credits. However, Teaching-Core Staff still have to do research with high
standard and quality and community service (pengabdian masyarakat) activities.
Staff academic does not only consist of those who are employed by UI, either from the PNS scheme
or the BHMN scheme. There are also part time academic staffs from various institutions. UI has its
own classification for staff academic, based on their teaching responsibility. Previously, the
classification was not well defined; starting 2005 a classification system had been created. And this
classification also experienced some changes as a part of the dynamics changes of UI. Figure
3.6Figure 3.6 below shows the change in academic staff classification—from only PNS academic staff
(prior to 2000) to dosen tetap dan tidak tetap (permanent and non-permanent lecturer) in 2005-
2009, and then to dosen inti.
Figure 3.6 Academic Staff Qualification
The classification of core staff commenced in Semester Gasal Academic Year of 2009. Beside
Research-Core and Teaching-Core Staffs, there are two other classifications—Dosen Inti Struktural
(Structural-Core Staff) and Dosen Skema Lain (Miscellaneous Staff). Structural-Core Staff is a group
of academic staff that has structural position in FEUI—such as in Faculty units and research
institutes in FEUI. Teaching/lecturing loads of a Structural Core Staff are 4 credits per semester at
7 Rector Decree No. 013/R/UI/2009 as a basis on the Formation of UI Research-Core Staff and Rector Decree
No. 199/R/UI/2009 as a basis on the Formation of UI Teaching-Core Staff.
71
most. Miscellaneous Staff is a group of academic staff who are classified as Research-Core Staff,
Teaching-Core Staff, Structural-Core Staff. This group has teaching/lecturing loads of 4 credits per
semester at the most. Below is the table that shows the number of academic staff based on core
staff classification in DIE and EUP.

* number in parenthesis indicates number of academic staff in EUP, and number off parenthesis
indicates number of academic staff ini DIE
Due to the large number of students from other departments that take courses offered by EUP,
more than 70% of DIE academic staff teaches there. From this percentage, Teaching-Core Staff is
the majority. Larger proportion is normally found in odd semester in almost every academic year.
Table 3.3 below shows the number of academic staff in Economics Department, teaching ECON
courses in undergraduate program level for academic year 2010/2011 (even semester). As
previously mentioned, the teaching obligation differs based on the teaching scheme. Thus FTE given
in Table 3.3, is based on the academic staff teaching load, which is then converted in the FTE. Based
on the calculation, academic staff has been fully utilised. Beside doing research as its main activity,
research –core staff is given maximum 0.45 FTE teaching load per semester based on Rector Decree
No. 013/R/UI/2009. As shown in Table 3.3, average FTE of research-core staff is 0.40 FTE. While
structural-core staff and other scheme staff, are given 0.30 FTE maximum teaching load, and in
actual, the average FTE for academic staff in the two schemes consecutively are 0.32 and 0.22
respectively, which approach to the maximum regulated time.
The condition seems different for teaching core staff. Academic staff who are categorized in this
scheme has a teching load of a minimum 0.45 FTE and must not exceed a maximum of 1.35 FTE
teaching load per semester. However, Table 3.3 shows that in average, the FTE teaching core staffs
is below what its maximum teaching load. This is because most of the academic staff in this scheme
are assigned additional task, such as supporting in Faculty Administration or Center Unit (i.e. UKM
Center), Economics Department, EUP, and research institutions affiliated with FEUI (LPEM FEUI and
LD FEUI).

Another measurement on the load given to academic staff, is based on the staff and student ratio.
Given the total academic staffs that are assigned to teach in ECON undergraduate courses in 2011,
the number of students per FTE of teaching staff is equal to 26.69 students per FTE of teaching staff.
In other words, the total amount of time allocated by academic staff is 2 hours per student in a
week.

To facilitate the tasks of core staffs, the Dean of FEUI issued decrees regarding supporting facilities—
Dean decree No. KPTS/1401/D/2008. Core staffs receive facilities for teaching, research, and
publication. Beside remuneration, core staffs are eligible to receive grants for book writings and
teaching material writings, research grants, seminar grants, and publication grants under
competition schemes. The numbers of academic staff who obtain such grants are shown in table
below.

3.1.3 Appraisal System General appraisal of Academic Staff in DIE follows the regulation of Human Resources Management
that refers to the university regulation, through the Dean Decree KPTS/038A/D/2011. Overall, the
appraisal academic staff is based on the teaching assignment scheme they are assigned to. For full-
time academic staffs, the salary consists of fixed basic salary and variable components that add to
total salary received. Fixed basic salary is equivalent to salary received by government employee
academic staff, while variable component of salary would be calculated and weighted based on
teaching credits semester. The remuneration scheme is given in the attachment. Full-time academic
staffs that are also assigned by administrative tasks, full-time research based academic staffs, as well
as support staffs entitle to health insurances.
3.1.4 Trainings and Academic Guideline Department Economics has priority in providing support to improve teaching quality of its Faculty.
Faculty is encouraged to participate in the trainings on various types of learning methods conducted
by University, Department, or by Research Center. In 2008, Department collaborated with LPEM
using InWent method of collaborated and active learning conduct a workshop for Faculty teaching
of Introductory Economics. Since 2006-2011, some of the Faculty has also participated in NCEE
workshops that focused more on the concept of using case studies and class experiment in assessing
student understanding on various topics in Economics.
The Ministry of National Education and Culture issue a certification of teaching higher education,
aiming to improve the quality of academic staff in the university especially on the case Professors or
Lecturers with the status PNS. Basically, the certified lecturers would have good teaching quality
74
that are shown by the following factors: 1) track record of teaching and research, 2) productivity on
issuing publication and courses that have been taught, 3) ability to delivering teaching subjects.
Meanwhile, within the university, there are regular trainings that aim to improve Faculty teaching
skills such as Pekerti (Peningkatan Ketrampilan Dasar Teknik Instruksional) and AA (Application
Plan).
In comparison of number of Faculty, the availability of the trainings either that is conducted through
outside resources or within the University may still is limited. Therefore, as part of knowledge
sharing, materials of the trainings and workshops are available in Resource Learning Center. Faculty
can borrow the training materials and review those to be developed further in their courses. Faculty
that has participated in the trainings has frequently disseminated their experiences through Faculty
meetings.
Improvement in teaching skills also spurred by opportunity offered as visiting teaching Faculty in
other national university as well as foreign universities. Some of faculty members frequently
received invitation as visiting teaching and research scholars in prominent foreign universities such
as in Japan, US, and Australia.
Instructional method of teaching clearly stated in course assignments document and code of
conduct document for the Faculty members. The Faculty as well as students received document
courses catalog as well as academic guideline book.
3.1.5 Evaluation of Teaching Process Each semester, the students evaluate lecturers as a feedback of the teaching process. The process
and evaluation criteria are determined by the Faculty, particularly by the academic quality assurance
unit, known as UPMA. There are 4 main points that are evaluated, which are:
1. The Course’s Material 2. Teaching Method 3. How the class is managed 4. Assessment process
Academic staffs who achieve high grades can have the opportunity to be proposed by the Faculty to the University level, and compete with other staff academic to get a reward as the best Staff Academic of the Year. EDOM is one factor, beside other factors, such as the number of research and seminar conducted by the staff academic in the specified year.
3.2 Support Staff Quality
The employment structures in the UI consist of employees working in the university level, the
faculty level, and department level. However, in general, policy is formulated in the university level,
and will be implemented in the Faculty level, by the Human Resource Manager. Referring to Dean
Decree No. KPTS/223/D/2005, Human Resource affairs in FEUI become the responsibility of the HR
Manager.
75
3.2.1 Support Staff The support staffs in EUP provide services to faculty members (academic staff) and students.
Support Staff in EUP consist of Academic Administration Staff, Teaching Assistant, Librarian,
Computer Lab Assistant and Technician, and Security and Office Maintenance Staffs. Academic
administration staffs have the responsibility to support in academic related activities of students and
faculty members (academic staffs). Students’ academic services for undergraduate are facilitated at
the University, Faculty, as well as at Department or EUP administrative level. Students’ academic
services at the University consisted of admission process and entry registration, tuition payments,
and administration of transcripts, graduations. Meanwhile, Faculty academic support staffs provide
services to undergraduate students in FEUI related to checking students registration, managing
schedule and classrooms, as well as assigning schedule and managing semester midterm and final
exams. In this case, EUP coordinator and academic support manage capacity of courses offered
during students registration, coordinate with Academic Support in Faculty regarding to mid-term
and final exams, manage final paper administrative paperwork, arrange meeting for academic
advisors (Pembimbing Akademik) with the students, administrative support for staff academic on
academic related courses teaching activities including on assistant lecturers, and also as information
center for EUP students on academic issues related and student activities on Economics Club
(KANOPI).
As shown in Table 3.6Table 3.6, there are 2 EUP academic support staffs with Bachelor degree in
Communication and Management Degree respectively. Meanwhile, Department administrative
staffs coordinate with EUP academic administrative staffs on finance related reporting activities of
the program as well as assist documentation related and faculty members’ research and teaching
activities (i.e. mailing list, copy of class materials, exercise of homework collections) and students’
activities (i.e. mailing list, Students trainings, Assistant Lecturers recruitment process,
recommendation letter).
Resource Learning Center (RLC) in the department provides students and academic staff with
collection of books, articles, magazines and news media relevant to economics research, or other
databases and manuals. The RLC is managed by one supporting staff having a bachelor degree in
library management. The collections information provided by RLC are channeled with the RLC in the
faculty level as well as to the University Main Library.
Computer lab technician, from PLKJ division, manages computer Lab in the Faculty level. The
technician is managed below the Manager Umum of the Faculty. They are responsible to handle
computers equipment, software used by all the computers in the faculty, maintain the internet
access and quality of the internet network. They are responsible to maintain the quality of computer
and electronic equipment as classrooms infrastructure, to support the teaching activities.
Beside the computer lab in the faculty level, the Department of Economic also provides a computer
lab, which can be utilized only by EUP students. Students that are employed as the Computer Lab
Assistants manage the lab. They are responsible in assisting teaching process on quantitative
courses such as Econometrics especially in using software related such as STATA or Eviews. They are
also responsible in managing and update the related software as well as maintaining computers
(lab) classroom, provided in the department of economics.
76
With regard to Security staff, security staffs are employed by the university. Security staffs are highly
needed, especially to guard and create safety enviornment in the campus. There are a total of 63
Security Staffs in FEUI Depok campus to oversee and secure academic related activities. Meanwhile
Office Maintenance Staffs (Office Boy) are generally outsourced by Faculty. Office Maintenance staff
are employed to keep the campus clean, and support other administration works.
Besides supporting staff that are employed to support the teaching and academic activities, in the
Faculty level and the department level, EUP also employ undergraduate students as Assistant
lectures. Students who have GPA above 3 may apply as assistant lecturers. They are employed to
assist academic staff in the teaching process, and support student in tutorial sessions. Table ... below
list the number of supporting staff in the university, faculty and department level.

3.2.2 Trainings of Support Staffs Training for support staffs are managed by the University as well as on Faculty (FEUI) level. The
trainings ranged from training and workshop in academic information system, financial reporting,
and workshop on academic management update, as well as on journal management. Support staffs,
especially the library staffs also regularly give training to students on information learning and
database available in university and faculty library system that can be used by the students.
3.2.3 Peer Review and Appraisal System The appraisal system of peer is conducted at the faculty level, and the appraisal is not only applied
to academic supporting staff, but also for academic staff. In practice, appraisal is done per group.
That is, a supporting staff will be assessed by superiors and colleagues who work directly with the
supporting staff, as a group. This appraisal is conducted once a year. The results of employee

3.3 Staff Development Activities Human resource affairs in FEUI are principally the responsibility of the Human Resource Manager
(HR). Based on the Dean Decree No. KPTS/223/D/2005, the tasks of a HR Manager are to manage
activities related to HR empowerment, both of academic and support staff. It is meant to assure the
processes of teaching, research, and community service in FEUI is moving along optimally.
Regarding to academic staff, the HR Manager is particularly to work together with the Heads of DIE
to (1) design and perform job analysis, (2) to plan and manage (i) the process of recruitment and
selection, (ii) reward system, (iii) career path, (iv) capability and competence development, and (v)
evaluation process of new academic staff.
Regarding to support staff, the HR Manager is to plan and manage (i) recruitment process of new
employees in FEUI, (ii) reward system, (iii) career path, (iv) capability development, and (v)
evaluation process of support staff. The HR Manager monitors the development of HR in degree
program and institute under the FEUI and evaluates the performance of Manager Sub Bidang
Pengembangan Tenaga Kerja and Manager Sub Bidang Kepegawaian. HR Manager is also expected
to provide inputs to the university on regulations related to HR and employees; and to periodically
report activities related to HR to the Vice Dean on Non-Academic.
By the same Dean Decree, the Head of Department is also to develop career paths and competence
of academic staff and to evaluate academic staff performance placed and assigned in the
Department. The Head of Department proposes the promotion of academic staff to the Dean and
his/her placement in degree program or institute with the approval of the Dean.
The vision, mission, and goals of DIE and EUP have been in accordance with that of the Faculty and
the University. Academic staff development becomes an important factor. Training and
development are carried out based on ELO needs and then they are planned based on these needs.
3.3.1 Development Activities: Academic Staff Academic staff development is one of the DIE mission to enhance the HR quality. Academic staff
development that is conducted in the DIE is based on competence and career development needs.
Development activities is carried out in several ways: (1) HR Development Program (Program
Pengembangan SDM (PPSDM)), (2) facilitating academic staff for higher education—master and/or
doctoral degree and granting scholarships to academic staff in local or overseas universities, (3)
professor mentoring, and (4) academic staff certification

and non-block grant. Based on the Dean Decree No. KPTS/276/D/2005, each department in FEUI is granted
block grant of Rp. 360 million per year. Block grants are used, among others, for academic staff development,
textbook purchases, training and workshops. Non-block grants come from the contribution of graduate
programs (PPIE and MPKP) under the DIE, and of research institutes (LPEM FEUI and LD FEUI). After the
implementation of financial integration scheme in 2009, both block grants and non-block grants are no longer
available. However, staff development activities are funded by Development Fund at the FEUI.

In implementing PPSDM, academic staffs are encouraged to participate in national and international
seminars/conferences and to write academic papers to be published in international journals. The
number of PPSDM grantees have declined since 2006 and so have the amount of realized budget,
particularly in 2009, when block grant is no longer provided by the faculty in accordance with the
new financial integration schemes in UI. However, with the available development budget, the DIE
still carries out PPSDM activities because of its importance in improving and developing the
academic staff quality both in teaching and research. PPSDM activities are in line with the vision,
mission, and goals of the university, faculty and DIE. One positive illustration of PPSDM is that
academic staff who are involved in research activities can share their research results in the class
and make them empirical examples as complements to theoretical underpins. This will indeed
enrich and broaden students’ perspectives and understanding on how theories and empirical studies
relate. Staff academic publications that mostly acquired from research, can also serve as
encouragement for students to perform academic research.
In teaching area, PPSDM provides teaching grants and lecture note grants. Teaching grants in 2007
and 2008 are provided for developing active learning method such as Student Centered Learning
(SCL) and e-learning methods. SCL method grants are awarded for Statistics 1, Monetary Economics
1, Public Economics, and Macroeconomics 1; while e-learning grants are for Econometrics 1 and 2.
Such active learning methods should be developed more as the KBK scheme will be implemented in
the near future. Other PPSDM activity in teaching area is the lecture note grants. The lecture note
program is to encourage academic staff to develop high quality lecture materials. These lectures
notes are expected to facilitate students to understand more on the subjects, which in turn will
increase their average grades. Lecture note grants are awarded to Macroeconomics 1 in 2007.
To support academic students for their higher-level education, financial aids are provided for taking
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)9. The utilization of GRE financial aids is not optimal yet. More
academic staffs are expected to use this financial aid in the near future.
9 GRE is an examination, which is generally required for student candidates who will study in the US or other
English speaking countries or will take courses offered in English.
82
Over all, PPSDM program has positively contributed to the improvement and development of the
quality and learning process of academic staff. This in turn will have constructive and advantageous
effects on students.
3.3.1.2 Pursuing Higher Degrees of Education
DIE FEUI gives the opportunity and facilitates academic staff to pursue higher education (master
and/or doctoral degrees). Some of them continue their studies in Indonesia or in universities abroad
and some prefer to take double degrees with acknowledged partner universities, such as Vrije
Universiteit and Tilburg University. Below is the number of academic staff who continues their
studies within 2005-2011 periods.

The declining number of academic staff pursuing higher education during 2005-2006 cannot be
separated from the policies of the DIE to trim down the number of academic staff/lecturers which is
related to the large number of academic staff that DIE already had and the small ratio of academic-
staff-to-student. For that the DIE is more selective in providing recommendation or endorsing
academic staff to pursue their higher academic degrees. However, in supporting the quality
development for the existing of both academic and support staff, the Dean has issued decrees
regarding scholarship provision10 as follows.
10
A scholarship is a financial aid for academic and support staff in FEUI provided to fund their academic expenses in pursuing higher education.

(Program Bantuan Pendidikan Beasiswa
Pendidikan Pascasarjana (BPPS)) for FEUI
Academic Staff
Academic staffs who are granted scholarship from FEUI mostly continue their studies, particularly, in
UI. They (both domestic master and Ph.D students) are bind by a 2n+1 year working contract, while
they who take their studies in universities abroad have a 3n working contracts, where n is the
duration of study. The working contracts have obliged them to return to DIE and served as
lecturers. This condition becomes a dilemma—the number of academic staff is increasing on one
hand, and the plan to downsize on the other hand.
Some academic staffs get their scholarship not from FEUI but from the targeted universities,
international donors such as DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst/German Academic
Exchange Service), Japan Indonesia Scholarship (JIPS), and others.
Other than the above sources, scholarships are also provided by the Directorate of Higher Education
Ministry of National Education in the form of Graduate Scholarship Program (Bantuan Pendidikan
Beasiswa Pendidikan Pascasarjana (BPPS)) (based on Dean Decree No. KPTS/1907/D/2009).
Most of academic staff who continue their studies abroad return back successfully with their Ph.D.
degree. However, there is a small percentage who are not successfully finish their Ph.D. program.
Some of them move to other universities, some return back to Indonesia and finish the program
here.
3.3.1.3 Professor Mentoring
The DIE has an academic tradition to pursue the highest academic career, that is to be inaugurated
as professors. The DIE has inaugurated professorship to 12 academic staff during 2001-2010 periods.
This number is the highest among all departments in FEUI or in other word 63.2% of total professors
in FEUI are from the DIE as displayed in the table below.
Table 3.14 Number of DIE Professors
Year Number of DIE Professors
2001-2007 6
2008 3

2010 3
Total DIE Professors 12
Total Professor All Departments 19
This academic tradition can not be taken apart from the role of what is called the Professor
Mentoring Program. The program was initiated by the Faculty in 2008 and is supported by Dean
Decrees as shown below in Table 3.12. The program is intentionally aimed to accelerate the
number of professors (Guru Besar) and is provided for all departments under the faculty, including
the DIE. Each appointed professor acts as a mentor and is to supervise between 3-4 PhD academic
staff. The appointed professors make periodic meetings—once or twice in a year—with academic
staff under his/her supervision discussing on the staff’s academic activities (teaching/lecturing,
research, academic journal writings, seminar/conference participation), staff’s KUM (credit number)
and rank adequacy. The supervised academic staff who meet the requirements for professorship
will be promoted and they who does not meet the requirements yet will be encouraged to fulfill the
requirements.

This mentorship has been quite effective in generating professors—3 professors were generated in
end of 2008 and 2010 respectively. Moreover, there are 5 professor candidates who are in the
process of obtaining their professorship.
3.3.1.4 Academic Staff Certification (Serdos) 11
Serdos reflects one’s teaching competence in his/her portfolio, which discloses academic and
professional experiences. (based on Buku Pedoman Sertifikasi Pendidik untuk Dosen (Serdos)
Terintegrasi Buku 1, DGHE of MoNE, 2011). The number of certification is subject to the limited
quota set by the Mone. The number of certified academic staff for all universities in Indonesia was
limited to 12,00012. The University of Indonesia (UI) is entitled for 490 certified academic staff which
is distributed to 259 professors (Guru Besar) and 231 non-professors (Non Guru Besar). The
certification is involuntarily granted to professors but not to non-professors. Since its first
11 Based on the Integrated Academic Staff Certification Guidelines 1 (Buku Pedoman Sertifikasi Pendidik untuk
Dosen (Serdos) Terintegrasi Buku 1) (2011), academic staff certification is a program conducted based on (1)
Law No. 20 Year 2003 on National Education System, (2) Law No. 14 Year 2005 on Teacher and Lecturer, (3)
Government Regulation No. 37 Year 2009, and (4) Minister of National Education Regulation No. 47 Year 2009
on Academic Staff Certification. Academic staff certification program is an effort to increase the quality of
national education and to improve the academic staff welfare by endorsing them to enhance their
professionalism. It is a formal acknowledgement for academic staff in higher education. 12 ww.dikti.go.id/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=796&Itemid=255
85
implementation of Serdos in 2008 until now, DIE promoted 26 certified academic staff (non
professors). The tables below show the number of certified academic staff.

Lists of names of academic staff who are promoted for the certification are proposed by the
Directorate General of Higher Education (DGHE/Dikti) of the Ministry of National Education to the
University. The lists of names is then distributed by the University to the Faculty. The Faculty will
ask the Department to propose who will be certified.
Other than submitting the resume, written self-description, list of teaching, research, and
community service, academic staff must be evaluated by (i) the Head of Department, (ii) 3 peer
lecturers, and (iii) 5 students of his/her class. The Department assists to look for the peer lecturers
and students. After the certification forms are filled, the academic staff is then reviewed internally
by them who are already certified and by professors. The Dean appoints these internal reviewers.
The next stage is to send the reviewed documents to the UI committee who will then send them to
the DGHE. DGHE will send the documents to the anonymous external reviewers.
In 2011, the certification forms to be filled are available on-line. Academic staffs who will be
certified have only to upload the required documents to http://serdos.dikti.go.id.
3.3.2 Training Activities: Academic Staff There are basically two types of training activities—(i) training provided by the DIE for external
parties and (ii) training provided by external parties in which DIE academic staffs participated. The
discussion will focus on the last type of training, which is to increase and enhance the quality,
capability, and knowledge.
13
In supporting academic staff to get their certification, the Faculty issued a Dean Decree No. 890/H2.F6.D1/SDM/2010 on Appointing 2010 Certification Reviewer. There are 7 DIE academic staffs who appointed as reviewers.
86

Scholarship provision for support staff is to increase their quality and capability and to improve the
human resource in FEUI in general. Scholarship for support staff is made priority for them who
pursue higher education to diploma/bachelor/master degrees (Dean Decree No. KPTS/117/D/2005).
In fact only a few of them have the opportunity to obtain it. In 2003, a DIE support staff was granted
the scholarship for his master degree. He has his master degree from MPKP FEUI in 2005. Another
support staff also got her scholarship from the Citibank with the recommendation letter from the
Head of the Department. With that scholarship granted in 2005, she completed her master degree

scheme implemented. The support staff who is in charge of finance affairs participated in trainings
on finance—starting from socialization, Oracle application, to information system related to cash
and budget. Prior to the financial integration, one of the support staff participated in a 6-month
taxation training.
Training on Staffing
UI applies SIPEG (Sistem Informasi Kepegawaian) application to help all-faculty employment
integration. The application is a web-based to support employment administration process in UI.
SIPEG is to make HR management in UI more integrated and reliable to provide portraits of
employment current condition.
The function of SIPEG is to support and accelerate the promotion process—in terms of position and
salary—and to assist academic staff to calculate their accumulative credit score (KUM) and to
compile their Tri Dharma Perguruan TInggi (Three Main University Responsibilities) activity (source
http:// sipeg.ui.ac.id). One of the DIE support staff participated in the training.
Training on Procurement Certification Procurement expertise is very important for FEUI and UI in general. FEUI has only one staff who has
the expertise. The training was organized by the Faculty of Law UI and conducted in 2007. His
expertise has meant a lot when DIE was granted HIBAH PKH B from directorate DIKTI Ministry of
Education in 2007 when the project had to make procurement for goods and services.
Workshop on Academic Journal Management
One support staff who is in charge of DIE academic journal, Jurnal Ekonomi and Pembangunan
Indonesia, participated in an Academic Journal Management Workshop organized by Universitas
Negeri Malang in 2011. The support staff participation in the workshop was funded by DIE which
covered travel expenses, accommodation and per diem.
Training on Computer Software Application
Laboratory of Economics FEUI15 organized a training on computer at the end of 2009. Seven support
staff participated in the training. The topic delivered in the training was on how to operate and
apply Microsoft (MS) Office and Corel Draw especially to design layouts for academic publication.
Such training is very important and should be organized more often in the future.
15 Laboratory of Economics FEUI was closed in end of 2009.
90
Training on Safety
The regular training organized by the University is the fire drill. Since the training is very important
for the safety of the DIE and EUP, not less than two support staff takes part in the training.
3.3.3.3 Support Staff Development and Training in the Future
To enhance support staff soft skill, more training and development program should be arranged and
proposed to the HR Manager in Faculty. Some options to be considered for the future are training
on office administration and management, English courses, and computer application. These three
areas are very important for support staff in implementing their daily tasks. Other scheme to
propose is the scholarship provision for support staff to continue their studies to bachelor and
master degrees by considering the fulfillment of work-period.
3.3.4 Budget Allocation for Training Referring to the Dean Decree No. KPTS/276/D/2005 dated January 26, 2006 about Block Grant
mechanism; DIE got the block grant budget allocation of Rp.100.000.000 for PPSDM in 2006. This
amount included both budget allocation for seminars/conferences and training/workshop. In 2006,
the number of academic staff participated in PPSDM activities, such as seminars/conferences,
research grant competition, etc., were more than that participated in training/workshop. It implied
that budget absorbed of only 4.6%.

Note:
Budget for 2006 and 2007 still combine budget for seminars/conferences and training/workshop.
Refer to the realization of PPSDM activities in the previous year; the 2007 budget allocation for
seminars/conferences and training/workshop was reduced to only 50 million IDR. Out of this
amount, 46.23% was used to finance academic staff for training both in Indonesia and abroad.
The 2008 budget allocation, particularly, for training/workshop was significantly less than in
previous years. The amount allocated was only Rp.12.5000.000. In the realization, there were 12
training/workshop activities in which academic staff took part. It turned out that the allocated
budget was not enough. The deficit was covered from other PPSD activity unused budget.
91
PPSDM activities absorbed 70% of the 2009 budget. In that year, four academic staff participated in
the NCEE training/workshop in Mexico and the US. Out of Rp.12,500,000 budget allocation, only
12.8% was absorbed in 2010. The fund was used to finance one academic staff participating in the
NCEE training/workshop in Jakarta.
The 2011 budget allocation was again reduced to only Rp.10.000.000. There were 4 trainings
activities in which both academic and support staff took part. An academic staff, Femmy Roeslan,
M.Ec.Dev., participated in 3 NCEE activities which were organized in three different cities in
Indonesia; an a support staff, Rini Budiastuti, participated in an academic journal workshop in
Malang. The excessive was then covered from other PPSD activity unused budget.
From the above description on training/workshop budget allocation, almost all are dedicated for
academic staff. This is in accordance to the Dean Decree No. KPTS/223/D/2005 that states that
PPSDM activities and competence development for academic staff is under the responsibility of the
Head of the Department, while for support staff is under the HR Manager in faculty level.

Chapter 4 Students
4.1 Student Quality
4.1.1 Student Intake Policy The University, while taking into considerations the input from the Faculty, determines the quota of total students in a study program. Figure 4.1Figure 4.1 depicts the numbers of students’ quota and intake; number of intake refers to students who has enrolled and has completed administrative registration. Generally the number has increased following its quota, except for the year 2011. This can be accounted for new regulations issued by the Ministry of National Education and the University that change the selection schemes for the following years.
Figure 4.1 The Number of Students Enrollment
The university wide-policy applies to the selection process, selection schedules, as well as composition quota of each type of selection process. Following the university-wide policy, EUP students come through several admission channels, first is the selection for nationwide potential students by entrance exams, and second is admission through direct invitation from University for qualified potential students who are identified based on their academic records, non-academic achievements, and scholarship records in their respective high schools. Regardless of the selection scheme, potential students must determine their interest study program in the university. There are several types of entrance exams. An exam (SIMAK-UI) is particularly conducted independently by the University, in which case the University may set the schedule and the requirements to be met by the potential students. Other entrance exam is coordinated by the consortium of state universities and Ministry of National Education (MoNE); in this case, state universities simultaneously conduct nationwide exam whose terms are predetermined by the consortium. EUP, to an extent, contribute to the selection processes. Several academic staffs of EUP take part in proposing and reviewing the exam questions, whether for the independent exam conducted by the University (SIMAK UI) or the standardized exam coordinated by MoNE (SNMPTN). Meanwhile, enrollment invitation is a form of enrollment scholarship given to identify and attract potential outstanding students to study in the University of Indonesia, particularly in EUP. For example, winners of National High-School Competition of Economics would be invited and receive
93
scholarship to study in EUP. The faculty, alongside with a study program, periodically reviews the quality of entering students through average entrance exams scores, performance of English proficiency test (EPT), the average GPA scores. The level of competitiveness of the study program which is defined as the ratio of applicants to the admitted student—as shown in Table 4.1 tends to over the last six years. In 2011, Table 4.1 shows that one applicant is accepted from every 121 applicants that take the entrance exams or submit application for invitation (enrollment scholarship).

Notes: 1) Since 2009 the data of average entrance exam score is a compile from SPMB (SNPMTN), SIMAK and UMB.
One of expected learning outcomes of EUP is attainment of English proficiency competency and in this case, facilitated by ESAC (English Self Access Center), first year students in FEUI are profiled by its English Proficiency Competency. Table 4.1 has shown the scores of first-year-student competence in English (EPT) for the last four years. As shown in Table 4.1, EPT score has declined over the years. The decline in English score test may be contributed by the declining number of participating students; and it may caused by scheduling conflicts of first year students. As shown in Table 4.2, only 21 students participated in the EPT in 2011.

National Entrance Exam (SNMPTN) 420.06 17

Invitation 430.00 1
Students in EUP are all full time students, for the selection processes only apply for high school graduates or equivalent. As shown in Table 4.3Table 4.3, the number of female and male new students has been relatively balanced. In regard to the intake trend of first year students in 2011, the number of female students tends to be much higher than male students. Overall in EUP, the number of female students is higher than male students.
The next table presents share of students by type of entrance, divided based on students who took the entrance exams and the invited potential students. In general, around 80 percent of students come from either university exam or the nationwide standardized exam. Except for 2011, the University decided to only receive around 40 percent of new students by exam selection process.
94
This change in quota—higher number of invited students—is made to take into account that the quality of intake is still maintained. For the sake of distributive principle, the University may take into account the part of region from where the students come.

Lower quota of students admitted through entrance exams is also due to a change in the selection schedule, in which the University can only schedule admission process through university exam after national entrance exam. Given that previously the University generally set early admission through University exams and scholarship, the change in this policy raises an issue that the intake students’ quality from University exam may decline. Thus, the University responded by lowering the student quota from this type of selection process. Given the administration and institution of public university that is still in search and government policy-making on higher education in general, the study program perceives that any change and discussion of students quota as part of policy engaged at the University level, should also be arranged in long term perspective, adjacent to the strategic policy in academic staffs planning and its associated improvement involving Faculty and the University. The study program also reviews the freshmen through their student records, from student evaluation conducted in first and second year of study, as well as snapshot performance from average GPA scores. The table below describes student performance from each type of selection process, students that are accepted through entrance exams and invited students. Generally, average student GPA of 3.0 may reflect that majority of students are able to cope with their studies. Meanwhile, indicating from type of selection process, performance of students accepted through invitation is slightly higher on average, in comparison to students accepted from entrance exams. Nonetheless, as also shown in student records for first year students (i.e. batch 2011), average GPA of students accepted from entrance exams is relatively high as well.

The quality of students entering EUP is a policy that is reviewed and assessed as it could as well provide inputs on targeting potential students that apply EUP. In regards to student intake, there is a concern that the high school students are not familiar with the nature of economics studies—they are especially lacking of quantitative skills. As shown in Table 4.5Table 4.5 , there is an attrition of students in first and second year of study, around 10 percent over the years. Most of attrition takes place in first semester rather than in the following semesters. From the communications with those students, such as in form of resignation letter, it has been learned that the most frequent reason to leave EUP is the prospect to study in other university with more low tuition cost. These students who transfer to other university usually take different study program as well. Reviewing the trend, there is also a concern that costs of tuition and living have contributed as reasons to move to other university or other equivalent higher education institution. Although that is more of the case of first year entering students, and one of the issues may be an information of scholarships are not quite spread to new students in comparison to more senior students. In this case, EUP through academic advisor actively inform first year entering students on availability of scholarship especially for students that came from family with low income background. Availability on the number of scholarship targeting to students from low-income households are quite numerous in the University, especially in FEUI where various scholarships funded by FEUI alumni are available to students who need financial assistance16

Notes: 1) data came from SIAK-NG as per September 2011, thus students from batch 2008 are still conducting 7th semester of study.
Form of interaction of EUP and high schools is through assistance of academic lecturers for high school students participated in OSN (Olimpiade Science Nasional), as part of Ministry of National Education program17. There is also training for high school teachers who taught Economics under

Information of scholarships to EUP students, and FEUI undergraduate students in general, can be accessed in Economics Department , FEUI, and ILUNI FE websites. There is also consolidated scholarships information handle by Student and Alumni unit in FEUI (Mahalum). 17

the NCEE program. Academic Staffs who participate in NCEE training program would serve as a trainer for high school teacher to assure the mastering of correct economics concept, as well as to give alternative learning methods that involve more students’ participation and class experiments, to improve the learning experience and comprehension of the concepts. In this case, EUP believes that improving the quality of high school teachers would translate to better quality of students’ intake. Link of the study program to high schools is also supported by coverage of its student activities. BEM—as the student union in FEUI—invites several prominent high schools each year to visit the faculty, and it can be viewed as part of promoting the EUP study program to potential students. BEM conducts competitions for high school students, such as KOMPEK (Kompetisi Ekonomi)18.
4.1.2 Study Load and Performance At their first semester, EUP students would take student orientation, in which they will get to know on campus life and its facilities, curriculum of the program, and general academic guideline. Curriculum guideline book and courses catalogue are given to each student entering the program. In this case, curriculum guideline book contain the relevant information of the academic process in EUP, general curriculum, and facilities available for FEUI undergraduates. Meanwhile, courses catalogue listed abstract, requirement courses, credits, and scheduled semester offered of university courses, ECON courses, and other programs courses that could be taken by EUP students. The books are issued annually and given to entering students in their first semester of study from which they could refer to in planning courses to take and managing paperwork for semester registration, submitting leave permit, final paper, managing library access, book borrowing, as well as academic-related information system. In the case on support of academic process and system of the study program, administrative support in the program is available to be contacted and consulted as well as academic staff in EUP program. There are two academic staffs in EUP that divided first to handle academic issues for first year students such as on planning courses, consult on scholarships, and the other on handling issues of senior students that generally associated with final project. Overall, management both administrative and academic process are supervised and under the responsibility of study program coordinator. Support from EUP as well as facilities available in Faculty, aimed that it is known and can be accessed easily by students. In this case, there is regular satisfaction survey taken by students on facilities and services that are provided in association to teaching and learning of EUP as well as other undergraduate study programs in FEUI19. EUP curriculum requires students to take 144 credits minimum, including credits for writing a final project and passing final paper exam, in order to graduate with Bachelor degree in Economics. There is a guideline on courses to be taken by students for each semester, to which the student can refer in planning their study based on student consultation with his or her academic advisor20. Based on the
18
KOMPEK is conducted every year in February which invites high schools students around region in Indonesia to participate in Economics Competition. KOMPEK has been regularly conducted over the last 15 years and on average around 200 students participated in this annual event (BEM 2011). 19
The survey on services available to students is conducted annually and it is managed by data center in Faculty (Pusdatin FEUI 2011). The satisfaction survey on facilities and infrastructure has been conducted since 2008. 20
As will be furthered discuss in section of Student Advice and Support, there is a regular schedule meeting of student academic advisor during registration period arranged by EUP, and in that schedule students could just stop by to consult courses that he or she will registered. Other than that arranged schedule, students could as well contact his or her advisor to consult his or her study progress.
97
stated curriculum as shown in Table 4.6, students are expected to graduate in 4 years or 8 semesters of study. From Table 4.6, student usually takes of 18 credits per semester for fourth year length of study. This prescribed study load that present suggested set of courses taken by EUP student is available in course catalogue book, and it is arranged based on expected learning outcome (ELO) of EUP. For the first to two year of student study, curriculum on courses that are offered emphasizes on the attainment of general economic knowledge and skills, while it continue to build up focusing on competency to assess economic issues and advancement on data processing and research knowledge, that along the way will equipped student with specific skill needed to make analysis and research on economics’ issues related. Throughout the program, it is essential that students perceived and conduct in a way in line with principles that reflect academic and university values in regard to attitude and professional ethics. Thus, from early semester of study and throughout all courses offered in the program, there are attitudes and ethics that are always spread and uphold either well-endowed in the course materials or through teaching and learning process of courses taken by EUP students.

The EUP followed the grade standard set by the University. The GPA of the students was scaled from 0 to 4. In order to be eligible to take at least 18 credits in each semester, EUP students should follow the university regulation and maintain at least a GPA of 2.50. In the case that student has an overall GPA less than 2.5, she or he could only take less than 18 credits in the respective semester. With regard to the credit point system, the University has set scores range associated with course grade, since 2009. As shown in Table 4.7 for example, a student would receive A in a course if her/his final score ranged from 85-100, while student fails in a course if she/he has grade of C- or lower, with associated final score of less than 55. This score range is a default in SIAK-NG, an online academic system that is accessed by lecturers to manage their class, including submission of grades, and by students to manage their study including course registration and viewing course grade or scores and academic record (i.e. grade transcript). In this case, only lecturer who taught the course has full authority and responsibility in grading and determine final grade for the students participating that course or class. Grade from tutorial activities that is conducted as a form of support especially to first year students should be submitted to lecturer or professor that teach that class. Final grade and or grades from exams or other activities or assignments are published in SIAK-NG that can be accessed by students taking that course.
In this case, lecturer would have to follow academic schedule on when final grade or exams grade should be published to students. To assure that lecturers do publish grade to students and thus meeting the stated schedule, the program study would oversee and take report on lecturers that have not put the grade in SIAK-NG system. In this case, based on the university wide system of SIAK-NG, failure to announce students’ grade at the stated schedule would automatically result to all students taking the class pass with grade B. This is also to assure that students would not get disadvantage of low GPA due to incomplete final grade of a course. Revision of student grade is possible only with the approval of lecturer and in any case that student dissatisfied with course grade, the student can directly question the issue to lecture of that course or consult the issue to his or her academic advisor or the study program.

Next, Table 4.8Table 4.8 below presents average percentage of student pass related to type of courses taken by EUP students. It can be noted that the concentration courses have relatively high passing rate compared to the other types of courses. Compulsory courses provided by the EUP tend to produce lower passing rate, it might be the case that the courses require advance quantitative skills. Nevertheless, EUP tries to overcome this by providing and improving the quality of tutorial classes for the compulsory quantitative courses.

Overall, as also shows in Table 4.9Table 4.9 , number of EUP students who graduate from the program in four years (8 semesters) or less is around 50-65 percent (data shown for student batch 2004-2007). The rest of them mostly take 4.5 years to finish the program, and only a small percentage of students do finish their study in more than 5 years. Such students will be flagged and put under intensive supervision. One of the issues faced by the belated graduate is long period on completing final project. Generally, the final project only takes about 1 semester (6 months), but it could lasted to more than 3 semesters as in the case for the late graduates. In general, the maximum length of study in which student should graduate from the program is 7 years (14 semesters).

From the feedback of student academic advisor or information assessed by the study program, long period of finishing the program on these students is affected by low performance in passing one or two courses that also generally derail student in completing final project. As shown previously in Table 4.8, compulsory courses have generally lower passing rate than concentration or elective courses, although the passing rate is quite high in all type of courses.
As part of support to students finalizing final project, EUP would oversee students that have not
registered and submit proposal of final project in semester 8 or end of four year semester program
by contacting these students and sending letter to his or her academic advisor for further
assessment. As part of effort to reduce and give support to students completing his or her final
project, the study program has set up discussion forum where students doing final project could
present his or her final project working progress. The forum called as SPM (Seri Presentasi
Mahasiswa) is conducted each week and it is open to all students and lecturers. Several lecturers
generally participate in this forum to give feedback on this student on-going research of his or her
final project. This SPM program has been conducted over the last three years and in its setting,
there is a plan to also involve feedback from graduate students.
4.2 Student Advice and Support
4.2.1 Student’s Academic Progress Academic progress of all students is recorded and fully administrated through web-base academic information system called SIAK-NG. In this on-line system of SIAK-NG, lecturer could record absence of students each class meeting, and she or he could also put students’ grade of each assignments that also include exams. Meanwhile, students have access on teaching plans as well as grades of assignments and exams, and thus this system ensure that there is adequate feedback for students. To strengthen that this system working, based on the Faculty obligates lecturers to publish results of all assessment grades such as mid-term exam, quiz, homework, and etc. in order to make the students get adequate feedback on their performance. This SIAK-NG system is implemented in beginning of academic year of 2006/2007. In this regards, this system provides timely information on student’s performance to be evaluated by the program. The program is regularly checking to monitor the status of students’ final grade in each course that she or he took, student status in terms of registration status, and other information of the students’ record. In this case, there is a regular meeting in early semester to students in regard to registration process, feedback on overall last semester teaching and learning, and issues related to student records. The meeting is scheduled based on batch of students given that issues between junior and senior students would likely to be different. Based on Rector Decree No. 478/SK/R/UI/2005, academic performance of students is evaluated four times during their study. The evaluations are at the end of second, fourth, eighth and twelve semesters. At each evaluation the students must acquire at least 24, 48, 96 and 144 credits, respectively, with minimum GPA of 2.00. In this case, the program would identify and communicate to students that show low performance, referring to student who has indications that she or he is in
102
threat of failing in the program, in the evaluation process. The program would communicate the student status to his or her academic advisor, to give more attention and advising the student. The program would then send letter to those students and their parents to meet with his or her advisor.
4.2.2 Student Coaching and Academic Counseling The University, Faculty, and Department jointly manage one-week program in the format of new student orientation to University of Indonesia Academic System (PSAU) for all new students. The program objective is to introduce them to campus life and all information they need plus how to get information in campus. Academic advisor is given to 8-10 students at the same batch. Referring to Rector Decree No. 012A/SK/R/UI/2007, an academic advisor is responsible for:
Giving academic advices in term of selection on course subjects, number of credits, and study plan.
Evaluating academic performances of the students until their graduation.
Helping to solve academic as well as personal problems of the students.
Finding out the possible causes of student’s failure, which may due to non-academic problems, such as financial problems, psychological problems, etc.
Gathering any complains or informal feedbacks about the programs from students, as an input.
Recommending on students scholarships.
Students should meet their advisor at least once in a semester during session for their semester academic plan in the beginning of each semester. Discussion between students and their respective advisor can be done directly face to face or through website (SIAK-NG).
In this case, there is a scheduled meeting between students and academic advisors during academic registration period. Although students could contact her or his advisor through email or web SIAK-NG, students are encouraged to meet and discuss directly with his or her advisor concerning academic related issue. For new students, they can get to know their advisor through scheduled meeting with her or his advisor in early week of their first semester. Students especially during registration period should make consultation either via email or directly meeting his or her advisor in order to sort out student academic issues, for example in the case of conflicting courses schedules, waiting list of classes, meeting requirement of courses, total credits that can or should be taken, or student record or performances on some courses, as well as in the case of consultation in choosing concentration. Consultation with academic advisor is on voluntary base, and thus not all students taking advantage of coordinating his or her study load with his or her academic advisor. This is sometime lead to situation where student do not take ull advantage of his or her student record. For example, for advance students by approval and resommendation of his or her advisor, there is possibility where these students with very high GPA could take total credits more than 21 credits to 22 credits per semester, rather than opting out to register less number of classes. From the scheduling and information received from academic advisor, few students that do make a consultation to his or her advisor. This may resulted from adequate information on academics that can be accessed by students in SIAK-NG or in the case where students will generally first consult with academics staff in the program and in faculty level prior to consulation with his or her academic advisor. Nonetheless, in some cases, academic advisors actively monitor through SIAK-NG student records of his or her students. Those academic advisors would generally contact the program or the students to sort out and clarify on his or her academic progress and or othe related student administrative status.
103
Students’ academic advisor is a full-time academic staff and as shown from Table 4.10Table 4.10 , on average one advisor is available for 17 students. Student could contact or make consultation to her or his academic advisor and in the case that she or he feels of not getting adequate assistance, student could contact study program. If it is considered necessary, the study program could transfer the student to other academic advisor.

Other than academic advisor, students could also make consultation to students counseling unit that is provided in the Faculty level available to all FEUI undergraduate students. There is an office hour, in which students could request for a consultation either by appointment or directly stop by to counseling unit office. The Faculty counseling unit is open five days, Monday to Friday from 8 am until 4 pm. In regard to academic process, the program study and academic unit in Faculty also consult assessment of students with low academic record to their academic advisors as well as to Faculty counseling unit. In this case, as shown in Table 4.11, counselling tend to be benefit students that use the services as the considers that counselor skills, attention, and response to be quite good,while information and procedure on counselling that are still viewed that needs to be more disseminated to students.

The survey is filled out by 143 EUP students.
The University also provides Student Counseling Board (BKM), which is run by psychologist and a physiatrist. Student that has problems which are referred from his or her academic advisor (PA) as well as from counseling unit in the faculty could make a scheduled consultation in BKM. There is only one student to the knowledge of EUP administrative that is referred to BKM, given that
104
counseling unit in Faculty is also available and students can stop by at any time within office hours of Faculty counseling unit. To some extent, treated by professional help, the student would be assessed on what may affect in regard to mental obstacles in their performance of studying in the program. In some cases, assessment would be informed as well to EUP and academic advisor that will make further engagement to the student as well as communicate the issues with the student’s parent.
4.2.3 Tutorials and Guidance on Final Project Tutorial assistances also provided for most of course works that are taken by first year students. There are around 40 tutors in EUP that schedule regular tutorials on a weekly basis for about 1.5 hours for each course. The tutorial class is generally set as the afternoon session after regular class hours, and it is provided to all students taken the course. As first year students in EUP would basically take the same courses package for semester 1 similar to courses package offered to first year undergraduate students from Accounting and Management study programs. In this case, EUP provide tutors in compliance to number of first year classes open as ECON courses.

Tutorials are given by graduate students or undergraduate students in their final year that have an outstanding grade on related courses that they tutored. Tutors are recruited each year, mostly from pool of outstanding EUP students that have interest in doing tutorial. Requirement to become tutor is stated in the Department website. The candidates apply to be EUP tutor need to meet the stated requirement set by EUP ranging from outstanding academic records, experiences in teaching activity, and the study plan or minimum credits that have been taken in the case of senior undergraduate student EUP. The recruitment process would involve selecting candidates that apply for the opening, the process of interview to assess candidate’s motivation in teaching and review candidate’s teaching simulation.21 All tutor candidates that meet the requirement and pass the
21
Tutors open recruitment is a regular activity that generally conducted by EUP in the month of June or July each year (EUP Annual Review 2011).
105
interview process would join teaching workshop prior to assignment as tutor. EUP tutors would have to give tutorials in an assigned course regularly and sit-in for lecture class. Tutorials also provided not only to first year economics courses but also on advance or quantitative courses. In the case of quantitative courses such as Econometrics, part of the tutorial sessions is to introduce students on the use of software that can be used for data management and to perform quantitative analysis, such as STATA and Eviews. Table 4.13 shows list of ECON courses that is provided also with Tutorials.

To assess performance of tutors, EUP conduct a semester evaluation that based on frequency on scheduled tutorials and sit-in of each tutor collected from Academic unit in Faculty that take record on tutor’ attendance sit-in in lecture classes and monitor schedule of tutorials. Furthermore, EUP also circulate regular tutor evaluation survey to students that take courses supported with tutorial. The tutor’s student survey evaluation has been conducted since 201022. From result of those students’ evaluation and tutors attendance list, EUP gave awards to three best tutors. Computer Lab in Economics Department, frequently in coordination with research institute, also conduct various workshop on research methodology, related software program for research or publication such as STATA, Eviews, and LaTex to EUP students. These workshops aim to give practical learning to EUP students, especially in conducting research and as a complement to those quantitative courses taken by students as well as their research skill needed in conducting final project23. The program through coordination with unit in Faculty and the university level conducted workshop aiming to provide support for students in conducting final project. Example of workshops for senior students referring to students in their 3rd or 4th year is academic writing tutorial and information learning workshop aiming to teach students practical skill in searching literature and issues and factors that should be familiarized in writing. Furthermore, there is a weekly student presentation in which student presented his or her research progress relating to the completion of the final project. This forum opens to all students and some lecturers would also voluntarily join the forum to give feedback. Starting in 2009, the forum called as SPM (Seri Presentasi Mingguan) and it is generally participated by students that also working on final project and has a related concentration. It is a forum in which student present in the forum may get valuable inputs from lecturers and his or her peers while participants can discuss ideas that may help them as well on the working of their final project. In the case of scheduling of SPM, EUP encourages and give priority to students that doing final project more than one semester.

Given the nature of final project, competencies from courses taken by students would equip them to conduct final project along with generic skill on management of the process. In this regard, a regular meeting to students is conducted in early semester as a forum of discussion on procedures of final project and on submission of the proposal. Discussion would also cover on proposal adequacy, issues in working on final project that generally occurred, and what kind of preparation that students need to know in order to completing final project as expected. On administrative and paperwork, information of final project is also available through Economics Department a website. Other than on administrative process, working progress discussion, and writing workshops, support on final project is also conducted through software update in computer lab class and consulting session by Economics Department Lab assistants. In this case, lab assistants in Economics Department Computer Laboratory are available for consultation on how to use analytical software, such as STATA and Eviews. In regard to monitoring the process of proposal submission, the program would monitor by contacting those students in their 4th year that have not submitted proposal of final project and their respective academic advisor. Meanwhile, the students that already submitted proposal and get advisor, but not yet finish final paper in its 3rd semester after they registered for final project, the program also would contact his or her advisor on the issues related to the completion of the paper. The issues faced by students that took long time to complete final project generally due to infrequent advising meeting schedule due to either the limited availability of advisor or student being inactive in meeting his or her advisor. In the case that student problems in completion of final project related to an issue in advising which lead to student feel that it is in his or her best interest to change advisor, it is plausible that student can change his or her final project advisor. Prior to process on administrative request to change final project advisor, students generally consult with EUP coordinator or his or her academic advisor. When issues that are consulted by students to EUP is deemed to be a legitimate reason to change a final project advisor, the student would follow up with the administrative process. There is a form that should be filled out and approved by the study program, prospective and current advisor. Furthermore, there is assistance for students that have difficulties on practical skill in using software needed in conducting final project. Final project as explained could be chosen by student as there are three type of final project: 1) undergraduate thesis approach or non-thesis approach referring to 2) an internship or 3) independent study course. Depending on career path that students interested in, he or she could choose type of final project that viewed to be most appropriate advancing his or her skill needed to compete in labor market. Guidance on type of final project that should be taken can be consulted with EUP or student academic advisor. The support on each type of final project is available, as for example, in the case of internship, EUP has conducted cooperation with government agencies or research institutes that suitable with EUP internship objective, and in which student can register to EUP or requested for internship in areas or institution that already set up internship program in coordination with EUP. Meanwhile, in the case of independent study course, there is a schedule meeting between final project advisor and student taking this independent study. As there is a plan to initiate fast-track program in which outstanding undergraduates student could continue study to graduate level in Economics24, the choice of final project in the form of this independent study course is viewed as
24
The adoption fast track program has been in discussion at the Faculty and University Level and this is also part to cater advance high performance students. In EUP, aiming to implement this program, starting year
107
option currently in discussion with the graduate program, given that there is only need of working on research or final project that later on would be completed as thesis of the student completing it as he or she in graduate program.
4.2.4 Information on Career Prospect and Internship The Faculty Career Development Centre (CDC-FEUI) is a partner to students in their career plan.

Started in 2010, academic advisors in EUP initiated to voluntary set up funds to first year EUP students that are known to have difficulties meeting living cost, especially those students that live far away from her or his parents. The selection of students is conducted through student information background and from academic advisor meeting with new students. The scholarship is set up given there is quite limited source of assistance fund that can be early channel to new students. In this case, available assistance fund such as BIDIK MISI and scholarship from ILUNI FEUI is generally disbursed after a semester, quite a long time for the students. Insurance and Medical Support An insurance company named PT Jasa Raharja Putera covers all registered students. Benefits include compensation for hospital charges due to accidents and dismemberment and death insurance claim.

Source: Alumni and Student Unit FEUI (2011) Student Dormitory and University Guest House Student Dormitory in Depok has the capacity of 598 rooms for male students and 652 rooms for female students. From Figure 4.2, 20 percent of EUP first year students lived in university student dormitory, while it is generally less than 10 percent of EUP students from previous year entering students lived in campus dormitory. Given the limited capacity of student dormitory that managed by the University, there is a selection process on new students that interested living in this campus dormitory. And in this case, priority is given to students that come from regions that come from family with low economic background. This is given that leasing cost in this campus dormitory is much lower than other off-campus dormitory.

Chapter 5 Infrastructure and Facilities
Infrastructure and Facilities of classrooms are managed at school level, Faculty of Economics
University of Indonesia (FEUI). EUP teaching is conducted in FEUI Campus located in Depok. In FEUI
Depok Campus, there are 12 buildings on area of 69,116 m2, as shown in the figure in the next page.
Most of courses classes are conducted either in classrooms located in Building A, Building B, and
Graduate Building. Building A and Building B are 3-storey buildings, while Graduate Building is a 4-
storey building. As regulated in University of Indonesia, elevators are only built for classrooms
buildings that consist of more than 3 floors.
The use of classrooms in Building A are arranged among Economics, Accounting, and Management
undergraduates classes. With a total of 332 enrolled students in EUP, it is only 8.5 students per
classroom. However, as total of EUP students is less than 10 percent of undergraduates in FEUI, thus
based on total undergraduates in FEUI that is around 2,043 students, there are 52 students per
classroom. In this case, a relatively small number of students create flexibility in the use of
classrooms.
Overall, planning and maintenance of facilities and infrastructure is coordinated in the Faculty level
and follow guideline of the University. Priority is used for the maintenance of the facilities especially
on type of facilities that are directly used for academic process, teaching and learning. Although,
investment on infrastructures for the last 2 years are halted mainly due to the process of searching.
5.1 Classrooms
Regular teachings for EUP are generally conducted in Building A. Auditorium classrooms in Dean
Office and Student Center for classrooms has capacity around 200 students, and these classrooms
are used for courses that are taken not only by EUP students but also by other undergraduate
students outside EUP. Examples of this type of courses are Indonesian Economy, History of
Economic Thought, and Economics of Poverty. Meanwhile, some of small classes such as some
seminar classes with less than 20 students are conducted in smaller classrooms in Department
Building.

Other than regular teaching classrooms, there are computer classrooms that are generally used for
quantitative analysis related courses. Computer classrooms are used mostly for exercises or
laboratory class schedules. All computer classrooms which total to 135 computers are relatively
adequate as EUP quantitative courses such as Advance Statistics and Econometric courses are
generally taken by 50 - 120 students (2-5 classes) in a semester.
Department of Economics also provides discussion room in Resource Learning Center and
Department meeting rooms for advisors and senior students writing final paper. Computer
classrooms become open access to students on schedules outside classes’ schedules. Senior
students may write his or her final paper in these computer classrooms.
All regular and international undergraduate students from the three programs are studying in FEUI
Depok campus. As total areas of FEUI Depok campus is 69,116 m2, and with a total of 2043 FEUI
undergraduate students, including 144 of it are students of EUP, the occupation ratio is about 33,8
m2 per students. And in regard to classrooms availability, there are 49 classrooms in Building A with
capacity ranged from classroom capacity of 50 students, 60, and 100 students. Table 5. 1Table 5. 1

In general, schedule and classroom location for EUP courses, as well as other undergraduate
programs in FEUI, are arranged by the School Academic Manager (Birpend FEUI). However, SIAK-NG
management on courses schedule and changes of course schedule as well as booking classrooms are
managed by academic support in EUP.
Availability of infrastructure utilized for EUP faculty members and students are adequate and most
facilities are in good quality. Classrooms in Building A are designed with many windows, and thus
generally require small electricity for lighting. All classrooms are equipped with computer, projector,
and internet connections. All computers with internet connections are used to access SIAK-NG
website, academic and course management related software used in University of Indonesia.
The classrooms facilities are coordinated in Faculty level, and this also includes the associated
teaching aids and tools in terms of software purchasing. In the case administrative and support
system on computing lab, the administrative are part of human resource management under Faculty
level.
The increasing use of student-center learning and more activities of group work in classes required
that seating arrangement and other facilities could be flexibly re-arranged. In this case, current
facilities could be used to support student active learning. The RLC in Faculty and the university
library also provides facilities for study rooms. The use of audio-visual system or speaker is feasible
in regular classrooms as long as there is request from academic staff to Facilities Maintenance unit
in the Faculty.
119
Computers in the classrooms have an installed Microsoft Office application and video software
application as they especially used to support lecturing or presentation course materials.
Meanwhile, softwares of quantitative applications are available in all computers in laboratory
classrooms. Issues of maintenances and computers security are main reasons of not installing
qualitative softwares applications outside computer lab classrooms. As a commitment to enhance
and maintaining update software applications, EUP academic and lab support have regularly update
and invest on buying and update relevant softwares for aiding courses teaching activities.
Economics Department received grants from Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of
Education (DIKTI) during three years period 2007-2009, aims to enhance teaching and research
collaboration of students and academic staff. This grant has contributed in increased number of
collections in Department RLC and on updating softwares of Economics Department computing lab
in Economics Department, computing lab is managed by Lab administrators consisted of 3 persons
with tasks of giving services for maintenance of computer lab, troubleshoot, lab classrooms
schedule, and managing computer related facilities in Department and Undergraduate Study
Program.
5.2 Libraries
Students can have access to University main Library, FEUI Resource and Learning Center, as well as
Economics Department RLC. The university main library can be reached from FEUI classrooms
building either by shuttle bus or around 15 minutes walking distance. The University main Library
can be used for study rooms, and collections borrowings for books or journal collections. Comprising
of collections from all Faculties, books collections and journals of various disciplines is greatly
adequate. In this case, RLC FEUI and Department RLC are mostly used Academic Staffs and students
especially in the case of searching specific databases and researches collections. Located in FEUI
Building, both Faculty RLC and Department RLC are easily reached by EUP academic staffs as well as
students. As explained in Table 2.15, there are various economics related online databases that
could be accessed either on-campus or off-campus by students and academic staffs in the University
of Indonesia, and those databases are provided by either the university through university main
library, research and learning centers at the Faculty and Department, as well as by research centers
affiliated to FEUI and the university in general.
5.2.1 University Main Library The central library in University of Indonesia is one of the important departments in university administration. The library collects not only printed matters, but also digital collections, preserved information, as well as high-density storage. The collections in the central library UI is among the largest one in Asia. In 2007, the collections of the central library UI reach 1.5 million books, excluding the available documents and documentations. The central library has a facility to link directly to all the faculty libraries and serves integrally to all students of UI. Link to the university library can be accessed through university website: http://www.ui.ac.id or directly accessed at http://www.lib.ui.ac.id.
120
The information system in the library is based on the electronic information technology, namely digital library or online information system. With this system, visitors to the library or its website can search electronically and download directly all available collections, such as books, magazines, non-books, electronic journals, electronic books, and also some creations, which produced by all academic society of University of Indonesia. As shown previously in Table 2.15, most of resources that widely used by students and lecturers are on-line resource collections of the university library. The university library is supported by 61 staffs and library Hours for Monday – Friday is from 8 am to 7 pm and Saturday – Sunday is from 9 am to 4 pm.
5.2.2 FEUI Resource and Learning Center FE-UI library occupies a separate building area of approximately 4700 m2, which consists of 5 floors. The building is located on the campus FE- UI Depok, just inside the student center building UI. It has many compilation collection which take forms as books, magazines / journals, proceedings, thesis, dissertation, internship reports, research reports, inaugural speech professors, and others, including audio-visual materials such as CD-ROMs, microfilm, Microfiche. It also provides an online database consisting of thousands of journals worldwide in the fields of economics, business, management, industry, social sciences and others related to it in the database ProQuest, JSTOR and Elsevier. For internet connection, FE-UI Libraries has installed hotspots for wireless Internet access. FE-UI students from all programs automatically listed as a member of the library. They only have to show their student and payment notes, and then submit a passport photo size, to get the library card. For the visitors who are not FE UI student, they are allowed to read the library collection or copy the collections by making special member cards according to the applicable administrative procedures
RLC FEUI is only closed on Sunday. The following are opening schedules of this facility:
Monday – Thursday: 07.30 – 20.00 (local time)
Friday : 07.30 – 11.30 and 13.00 – 20.00 (local time)
Saturday : 07.30 – 13.00 (local time)
In general, EUP students use Faculty Resource and Learning Center more often that university main library. In the case of services that the faculty provides, in general, EUP students as shown in Table 5.2 consider the library services as quite good. With the scale of satisfaction from 1 to 5, Table 5.2 shows that overall library services scored of 3.85 based on 2009 survey. Most EUP students perceived that library service staffs as highest quality of the facility with average score of 3.90 to 3.92, while collection updates received a score of 3.59 implying that there is a need to improve and regularly updates collection with sufficient number of collections.

5.2.4 Research Center Resources and Database LPEM and LD FEUI, two research institutes in FEUI that actively engaged in social and economics
related researches, maintain databases that could be used as well by academic staffs and students.
Micro data such as households survey, firms surveys, stock market Reuters and countries aggregate
data as in the case CEIC, are example of databases that are managed in LPEM-FEUI. Meanwhile, LD
FEUI is in frequent collaborations conducting or supervising national surveys, as in the case of
Longitudinal Survey, IFLS. LD FEUI has long series of databases on social households’ surveys, village
surveys, as well as population census. Students conducting final paper, could request data needed
and it is part of how research center support academic learning of the students and its academic
staffs.
5.3 Information System and Media
Related to administration, University of Indonesia is one of few universities in Indonesia that
adopted information system is various processes to make a better management, and in this case to
also support management and academics process in EUP. For example, to facilitate the delivery of
academic information, there access to SBA-NG SIAK. Other types of information system used in
administration as well as on academic process are listed in Table 5.3.

5.3.1 Information Media and Hot Spot Department of Economics also has website http://econ.fe.ui.ac.id that contains information on
study programs, specifically EUP and publication information, which in this case are Department
working paper. EUP academic staffs and students have access on information systems to
accommodate the communication and interaction for all students’ and staffs, as follows:
1. Mailing list (mailing list), namely [email protected] to the public and
[email protected] for teaching staff.
2. Announcement Boards (Mading), amounting to 3 types, namely Mading for information on
scholarships and job opportunities, Mading for academic and general information, and
Mading for student activities (which is managed by KANOPI).
At the University level, there are information media network, in the following format:
124
1. Komunitas @ University of Indonesia Komunitas @ UI is still an experiment network system, which is done by Administrator System of UI as a communication system based on Social Network concept. All academic stakeholders with UI account are able to access this system.
2. UI Student Blog UI Student Blog provides a network system; by which all students are able to have a private blog automatically only by giving his/her JUITA/SIAKNG username and password in the homepage.
As a way to communicate, there is email account assigned to academic staffs and students enrolled in the University of Indonesia.
Information media in general may include such information in Mading posted in Building A, Building
B, and building departments, and information displayed on the web, namely on
http://www.fe.ui.ac.id managed by data and Information Centre (Pusdatin) UI. In addition,
information on the UI system is also getting good with the hotspot facility.
5.4 Health and Safety Standard The buildings in FEUI are mostly low-rise buildings of maximum 4 stories. The main buildings with
the most activities are the classroom buildings of Building A and B (3 stories each), and the Graduate
Program (4 stories). For classrooms in Building A and Building B, as well as Dean Office Building,
there are fire extinguishers set in each floor. Aside from the equipment of fire extinguishers, the
Graduate Program Building is also facilitated with fire alarm system considering that it is 4 stories
building. To assure that staffs and students are well aware in the case of emergency—especially in
the case fire—there were intermittent fire drills conducted for students and staffs in the Faculty of
Economics. Although it is not circulated in frequent basis, there is a guideline on emergency exit
scheme and what should be done in the case of fire or natural disaster. At the university level,
students are trained on drill in the case of natural disaster such as earthquake.
125
Chapter 6 Output
Economics Undergraduate Program (EUP), Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia assesses the quality assurance system not only from the process quality but also the output, such as the achieved outcomes of the graduates (in terms of pass rate and dropout rate, average time to graduate, and employability) and the level of research activities conducted by academic staff and students.
6.1 Graduate Profile The EUP expects that the improvement in learning and teaching activities, as indicated by the higher attendance rate of lecturers and the more active learning process, will enhance the quality level of the learning and teaching activities as well as the quality of the graduates. Performance of the EUP graduates can be measured by Grade Point Average (GPA), length of study and also waiting period before getting the first job.
6.1.1 The Pass Rate Total credit requirement for graduating from the EUP is 144 credits. It must be completed within, at longest, 6 years period of study with minimum GPA of 2.00. In terms of the GPA, accomplishment of the graduates is classified into three tiers: (1) cum-laude, if the graduates complete their study with GPA ranging from 3.51 to 4.00; (2) very satisfactory, for GPA ranging from 2.76 to 3.6; and (3) satisfactory, for GPA ranging from 2.00 to 2.75. Figure 5.1 below presents the GPA of the EUP graduates from academic year 2006-2010. As it is shown, the average GPA of the graduates is always above 3.00, which can be considered very satisfactory. It surpasses the minimum qualification for getting jobs in most companies or institutions in both private and public sectors, which is usually set at 3.00.
Figure 6. 1 GPA Average of the EUP Graduates
Moreover, most students can pass all the subjects offered in the program. As can be seen from the Figure 5.2, in the last three year, the pass rates of all subjects in the EUP on average are above
126
90 percent.
6.2 Length of Study and Dropout rates
6.2.1 The Length of Study The curriculum in the EUP is designed to be completed by students in eight semesters or four academic years. However, in case that some students, due to their own complexities and problems, cannot complete it within four years, the program still allows them to extend their study period for two more years at maximum. Figure 6.3 presents the average length of study in t h e EUP for the last five years. Overall, trend on average length of study is declining meaning that the shorter time needed for the students to complete their study, despite the slight increase in the last two or three semesters. Also as shown in Table 6.1, around 60 percent of students complete their study at the program’s designated time, which is four academic years. A majority of students that graduated either within 4 years or 4.5 years generally due to the choice to postpone writing final project untill all courses have been taken.

Short semester program is offered in the EUP to shorten the students’ length of study. The short semester program is carried out for two months during the even semester break, but not all subjects are offered in this program simply due to the cost efficiency reason.
The length of time a student needs to finish his/her final project (mainly the thesis) strongly determines the length of study. To assist as well as monitor students on their thesis work, the program assigns one academic staff for each student as a thesis supervisor. The academic staffs help the students focus the thesis topics, discuss with them about the literatures, the appropriate methodology to be used, and the analysis in the thesis, and also enforce them to work on their thesis properly following the academic writing rules and the time framework that has been set.
Furthermore, the EUP sets up a minimum meeting requirement between the students and their thesis supervisor. They are required to meet at least 10 times and write the meeting agenda and results in a form provided by the program. Since 2010, the EUP has also regularly held a weekly presentation series of students’ thesis in progress (called “Seri Presentasi Mingguan”, or SPM). In the discussion, students who present their thesis in progress have a chance to present their thesis outline, research planning, and the entire thesis content they have made to some lecturers and the other students. Through SPM, students can get more input from their colleagues and lectures and also solutions for some of their problems in completing the thesis.
128
Figure 6. 4 Percentage of Students Graduated within Four Years from Total Graduates
Normally, students can complete their final projects in one semester. Difficulty in finding reliable data or limitations of the students in using analysis tools, however, may cause some students complete their final projects longer than one semester. In this respect, the assigned academic supervisor and/or advisor should always be alerted on their students GPA and t h e total credits they have been taken before encouraging them to take a research work. This is to avoid any conflict of schedule between attending a class and doing research work.
Table 6.2 summarizes number of graduates, GPA average, length of study, and number of cum-laude graduates in the EUP in the period 2006-2011. The data shows that more than 70 percent of graduates since 2006 do the thesis for final project, and the percentage is getting higher in the last three years (2009-2011), which reaches more than 90 percent of the graduates. Interest of students to take thesis as final project is given the opportunity to actually doing full research, and while other non-thesis final project is generally constrained by either institution that offer internship and final project proposal or concentration of the student, and course that should be taken in addition to final project in the case of independent study. To attract interest of internship and independent study, EUP encourage students to start early on joining internship as well as inviting institution to open non-credit internship during semester break. As in the case of independent study, there is a plan to incorporate the scheme for a fast-track program.
Table 6.2 also shows the number of student graduates in the even semester and the number of cum-laude graduates are higher that in the odd semester. Usually it is because of the students’ target to complete their study on time (8 semesters), which will be in even semester. In addition, the data shows the fluctuation in the number of cum-laude students across semesters.

6.2.2 Drop-Out Rate
There are two reasons for a student to be declared dropout from University of Indonesia: (1) poor academic performances; or (2) administrative violations.
Academic performances of all students are evaluated at least four times in the EUP:
1. At the end of the second semester;
2. At the end of the fourth semester;
3. At the end of the eighth semester; and
4. At the end of limit six-year study length.
At the phase (1)-(3) evaluations, a student will be declared dropout if his/her GPA is lower than 2.00 at the cumulative of 24, 48, and 96 credits, respectively. At the latter evaluation a student will be dropped out if during his/her 6 year-study he/she can only achieved total credits less than 144 (Rector Decree No. 012A/SK/R/UI/2007).
For the administrative violations, a student can only be dropped out from the EUP if he/she:
1. Does not register to EUP in two consecutive semesters; 2. Does any activity subject to university regulations, e.g. academic disobedience, crimes or
violated FEUI’s ethics rules.
For the students who have poor academic performance, the EUP support them with some encouragement and facilitation, such as providing study assistance by some tutor for some courses or providing them with the different lecturer when re-taking the course in order to reduce the pressure for the students.
However, there are some cases when the students are eventually declared dropout. For those students, they have some common characteristics, which are:
130
- The students have a job and become the main bread winner in family (some of them have GPA higher than the minimum requirement)
- They are married and hence no longer have motivation to finish their study - They have psicological problem related to their family
The table below provides information about student who have the problem in finishing their study. Some of them were still able to graduate whereas the others finally resigned or still in evaluation process
The dropout rates in the last three years are shown in Table 5.3. Furthermore, Figure 5.2 shows that in the last five semesters, the percentages of students who graduate within four years reached more than 70%. This number has already passed the target for the same indicator in UI, which is 60% of the total intake students.
According to the Table 6. 2Table 6. 1, the dropout rate varies from 0 to 2%. It is worth noting that most of all the dropouts leave EUP in the first year of study, even before the first evaluation. Not al l of them were incapable students with low GPA, but they might have other reasons to leave the EUP, such as accepted in other universities or retaking the entrance test in the following year for taking other study program.

6.3 Employability
The waiting time of graduates before getting the first job is measured from the time interval between the graduation ceremonies until the graduates get the first job (see Figure 6. 5Figure 6. 5). EUP surveyed and traced the alumni since their graduation, since 2001/2002. This database is also needed to get inputs and feedbacks from the alumni in order to improve and to develop EUP’s curriculum. One of the key performances of EUP graduates waiting time to get a first job is quite short varied within 1-5.5 months. This indicates that the competences owned by EUP graduates are, in general, match with the market’s need. Figure 6.5 shows average waiting times based on graduate year.
131
Figure 6. 5 Graduate Waiting Time to Get First Job (in Months after Commencement)
However, graduate waiting time would likely depends on timing or when graduates or senior year
students starting to look for a job. In comparison to other program study in FEUI, most of EUP
graduates started to look or a job after commencement, as shown in Figure 4.4.
Figure 4. 4 Starting Time Looking for a Job

132
One of main sector that employed graduates from EUP is public sector, central government agencies
such as Central Bank of Indonesia, Finance Ministry, Central Planning Agency (Bappenas), Economics
Coordinating Ministry, Ministry of Trade, as well as provinces or local government agencies. The
recruitment process from public sector is frequently longer than private sector. Still, in general, the
waiting time for EUP graduates to work are not long.
In addition, the average first salary o f EUP f r e s h graduates is presented in Figure 6. 6Figure 6. 6. From 2005-2007 years, showing that their first salaries are reaching about IDR 5.5 million.
EUP has been actively conducting some efforts to inform new job vacancies for the graduates.
Moreover, feedbacks from EUP graduates are studied periodically and regularly then we trace the
alumni more intensively and use their feedbacks to revised new curriculum. Usually, evaluation and
feedbacks from alumnus are collected through a survey called tracer study. This survey’s
respondents are not only EUP graduates, but also the users. Tracer study is done by a questionnaire
via ordinary mail or via alumni mailing list.
The coverage of tracer study for alumni includes alumni’s background, working profile, and
perception about the program’s performance. Whereas, the survey of user gives information about
user’s background, what kind of fresh graduates that they need, alumni performance according to
users and also their perceptions about EUP-FE UI. Meanwhile, in the context of comparing
employability of EUP graduates, EUP could assess from tracer study that is conducted at the
university level, which is initiated in 2008. This university tracer study is currently in its second wave
tracking performances of alumni26. The questionnaire as well as results of the tracer study can be
viewed in website as follows: http://tracerstudy.ui.ac.id/. Nonetheless, one of the issues of the
tracer study is the response rate that is still around 50 percent. For the faculty level (FEUI), majority
of FEUI graduates find a job within a year.
26 Each wave is conducted every two years. The second wave of university tracer study is conducted in 2010.

Generally, the feedbacks from alumni and graduates can be used to improve the teaching system in EUP. Based on these results, the program suggests an improvement after further discussion with lecturers and staff. It could also find out a better teaching or learning method and solve some problems in teaching and learning activities as well as to improve the contents of the curriculum.
6.4 Career Development Centre (CDC) Career Development Centre, Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia (CDC-FEUI) is one institute under FE-UI which was established to connecting the student and or graduates with the work life. CDC helps graduates and final year students to get either internships or jobs, and also helps companies in doing their recruitment process. CDC FE-UI supplies services for the job seekers to process their application and media for a direct interaction between job seekers and job recruiters. Types of services provided by CDC-FEUI are as follows:
• Information on internship and job vacancy, which is provided through email, mailing list, website and also social media.
• Company visit and presentation
• Campus recruitment
• Career counseling to help graduate, candidates or fresh graduates in comprehending his/her potentials, and also soft skills training to prepare job seekers for the work environment.
• Psychological assessment At the university level, it is called as CDC-UI, which its information can be accessed through http://mahalum.ui.ac.id. This unit organizes regularly career and scholarship expo on campus.
134
There are more than 50 significant national and multinational companies, whi ch participate in this event.
6.5 Alumni Association
Alumni association was established in the level of faculty, called ILUNI FE-UI, which has a vision to
provide benefits for community in professional and social activities. Through this association, each
alumni of FE UI could maintain their relations. Moreover this association also established a
foundation (Yayasan Bhakti ILUNI FE UI), which has objectives to support students with economic
disadvantages via scholarship program.

Chapter 7 Quality Assurance
This section explains the quality assurance of the curriculum implementation within the EUP. It
starts with the detail elaboration on the curriculum design process as key process in supporting the
achievement of the expected learning outcome. In the curriculum design it is described that the
process involves important parties including students and users as key stakeholders. The subsequent
part is explanation of the monitoring system of the curriculum by academic audit body at the
university and faculty level.
7.1 Quality Assurance of Teaching and Learning Process
This section describes the self-assessment of quality assurance in teaching and learning process. The
explanation contains three main sections: curriculum design, course and curriculum evaluation and
curriculum implementation.
7.1.1 Curriculum Design The EUP realizes that the environment of labor market for graduates as well as their profiles
required by the users is experienced dynamic changes. In addition, the success of the achievement
of the expected leaning outcome is determined importantly by the consistent and regular evaluation
of the curriculum. Therefore, the EUP puts curriculum evaluation as high priority and important
affair besides all other aspects.
The curriculum has been reviewed regularly to meet the requirement set by directorate of higher
education, Ministry of Education. Historically, since 2007 the EUP has been using three curricula,
namely Curriculum 2006, Curriculum 2009 and the current/undertaking revision: competence-based
curriculum or KBK. Refer to the previous explanation in section 2, the introduction of KBK yields
particular benefits of intensifying
Moreover, once the curriculum is finalized, the subsequent important part is implementation. In this
step, staffs, students, and related stakeholders including users are key subjects that should be
intensively involved in the curriculum design. Therefore, the curriculum design always be done with
the involvements of all these parties.
The holistic process of curriculum design involves university, faculty and mainly program level as
illustrated by Error! Reference source not found.. It can be shown that curriculum design is carried
out mainly at the program-level (EUP) with the supervision and coordination role by the department
and faculty. This is in line with the university statue, in which stated that program is the integrated
study plan as guidance and academic education or profession conducted on the basis of a
curriculum and aimed so that learners can master the knowledge, skills and attitudes in accordance
with curriculum objectives.
Specifically, there are steps for curriculum design at the program level:
1. Formulating expecting learning outcomes. This is the central and main important part over
all activities.
136
2. Setting teaching and learning strategy
3. Creating assessment strategy
4. Setting course sequences
All of these four steps are carried out by curriculum team at EUP, which lead by head of EUP and
supported by academic staffs of the Department and all of active lecturers. Internally, this team has
regular coordination with the head of the Department, other departments and faculty especially for
setting course sequences. This is due to some interdependence between some basic courses and
special courses.
This arrangement is based on the division of role in the university statue that defines Faculty as unit
who is organizing stakeholders and or academic activities in specific disciplines and can consist of
one program or several program of study. In addition, the department is the organization of
academic resources for the development of science, education and implementation of academic,
professional and or profession, in part or one branch of science, technology, art and culture.
Finally, the department and faculty academic senate should approve the draft of curriculum before
it finally passed by the chancellor as formal curriculum for each program.

Figure 7. 1 Curriculum Design Process
Practically, to carry out the curriculum design task as currently conducted for the KBK revision, there
are types of meeting used by curriculum team. The first type meeting is Curriculum Team Meeting
(CTM). CTM has agenda ranged from setting expected learning outcome to course structure.
Essentially the CTM is responsible for the structure of the curruculum in which are basic information
needed by FCM in the formulation of the course plan and syllabus. At this stage, the CTM collects
various important information regarding the formulation of the structure: the mission and vission of
the university, faculty and the department; user’s feedback on the graduate profiles; a benchmark
of course structure from several similar-overseas program; and evaluation of the previous
curriculum. This evaluation was conducted with student’s participation and will be briefly explained
in the next section.
The second type of meeting is Field Courses Meeting (FCM). FCM is used for smaller team, which
consists of active lecturers from each field group for constructing contents of each course (i.e.
syllabus, delivery methods and detailed activities). In making these instruments, the FCM refers to
the outlined structure of the curriculum, especially the ELO and derived competencies in every year
of study period in the program. In this meeting, each field group creates three important
138
documents: outline of the teaching program or GBPP (Garis Besar Pokok Pengajaran), course
activities or Satuan Acara Perkuliahan (SAP), and syllabus are instruments that should be prepared
for the whole semester including method of delivery, media/references/textbook used, and
methods of evaluation. In the upcoming KBK curriculum, there is only learning activity plan or Buku
Rencana Pembelajaran (BRP) and syllabus as the instruments. BRP replacing the use of GBPP and
SAP. All of these instruments are developed according to the format and national standard of
curriculum and be ensured align vision and mission of the EUP.
7.2 User’s Involvement
In the curriculum development, jointly with the Department, the program involves users as
the important stakeholders. Feedbacks from users then used to reformulate the graduate profile
and expected learning outcome in the CTM. For example for the current KBK curriculum; the EUP
conducted stakeholders meeting on January 13, 2011. This meeting is aimed to collect responses in
terms of user’s satisfaction.
According to the meeting there are four priority of improvements needed for graduates profile,
namely to enhance time management, and analytical skill in economic policy and interpersonal skill
and academic writing. These findings then used and for the ongoing revision by the CTM to
reformulate the expected learning outcome and teaching and learning strategy that emphasize
more on academic writing, analytical type courses and learning activities that employ team work
assignment heavily.
Table 7. 1 Summary of Satisfactory Survey on EUP Graduates’ Competences
Notes: 1=very poor; 2=poor; 3=fair; 4=good; 5=very good. These scores is obtained from 13 respondents of users from wide range of institutions.
7.3 Student’s Involvement
In addition, the student’s involvement in the course development also considered as important as
other stakeholders. Especially, the students are the main party of the curriculum implementation.
For this reason, the program also conducted several meeting with each of student’s batch, e.g.
meeting December 19, 2011. In this meeting there are some feedbacks including the continuous

7.4 The Curriculum and Implementation, Evaluation and
Monitoring and Development: The Role of UPMA and BPMA
and DPA
After the curriculum is finalized as formal document of the university, the faculty disseminates the
curriculum for all stakeholders; mainly it targets students and lecturers. This was done by two
handbooks: Buku Panduan Akademik and Buku Katalog Mata Ajar. In addition, the program also
uses program website to inform lecturer and students about the curriculum. Subsequently, the
process of implementation is carried out. At this stage, it is the important part for the audit and
monitoring body as the quality assurance system to take place and involves.
The university sets Badan Penjaminan Mutu Akademik (BPMA) and Unit Penjaminan Mutu Akademik
(UPMA) as the academic monitoring and academic audit body at university and faculty level
140
respectively. These two bodies plays important role as quality assurance system that
constructively support the achievement of the EUP in curriculum evaluation and implementation.
Specifically, the university manages the monitoring and audit of curriculum implementation by the
role of BPMA and UPMA by some instruments. There are four internal evaluation instruments that
are used by these bodies:
1. Self-assessment reports
2. Semester audit or evaluasi semester (evisem)
3. Occasional audit
4. Recommendation
The cycle of curriculum monitoring started by formulation of quality standard then followed by
monitoring, internal evaluation and finally the development and enhancement of the curriculum. In
addition to the role of internal evaluation, the implementation of the curriculum is also influenced
by external evaluation such as national higher education accreditation (BAN PT/Ministry of
Education) and AUN itself.
In addition to the role of monitoring by DPMA and UPMA, the university also supports the
curriculum development through the role of DPA (Direktorat Pengembangan Akademik) or
directorate of curriculum development (Chancellor Decree No. 595/SK/R/UI/2005). The DPA has
three main tasks: the development of curriculum by setting curriculum policy, analysis of program
performance, and foster the implementation of the program. These feedbacks normally are passed
to the program through faculty and department level periodically to improve the curriculum
performance

Figure 7. 2 The Curriculum Quality Assurance Cycle
In the Handbook of Quality Standard published by university, within the quality standard, it is stated
that the curriculum component should meet the criteria of: mention explicitly the graduates
competence, list of learning materials, appropriate grouping of courses, has three main documents
of BRP, BPKM and syllabus, and exhibit well connection between courses to meet the required
competence as the learning objectives. In addition to these indicators it also should show indicator
of the availability of course reference in the library, delivery method, time study allowed and the
spread of workload and student evaluation system. The cycle is summarized in the Figure 7. 2Figure
7. 2.

Chapter 8 Stakeholders
In conducting its teaching and learning, EUP and the University as an institution engaged with
various stakeholders. EUP staff academics, students, alumni, student parents, as well as users or
labor market are agents that have interest with the improvement of the program. Furthermore, the
University and its study program as higher education institution has responsibility on catering what
is needed by general society in overall. Engagement across stakeholders and their involvement with
the study program could improve and make EUP striving.
In this perspective, inputs from these stakeholders is part of quality assurance for evaluating service
such as infrastructure and facilities, course appraisal and curriculum evaluation is essentials for
keeping high quality program. Based on inputs from all stakeholders i.e. students, alumni, graduates’
employer and society, those aspects are review and adjusted. Some services such as facilities and
infrastructures can be adjusted directly. However course appraisal and curriculum need inputs and
planning for better result.
8.1 Inputs from Students The students can give input to the program directly or through their respective academic advisor
(PA), as in the case of specific course opening, consultation of final paper advising related,
information on concentration or field related courses, and the class management of courses. There
is also a regular assessment by enrolled students on classes that they take.
Each semester, enrolled students need to fill out evaluation to each class or lecturer that the take
or called as EDOM (Evaluasi Dosen oleh Mahasiswa). This student evaluation is integrated in web
and the results of EDOM would be evaluated by quality assurance in Faculty (UPMA) that would
disseminate this assessment results to Department and the Program. In this case, the program
would only receive students’ evaluation on classes offered by the program.
EDOM content of student evaluation is standard across all programs within the University of
Indonesia, evaluation scores aggregated to group criteria of: 1) learning materials, 2) learning
process, 3) class management, and 4) learning evaluation. From Figure 8. 1Figure 8. 1, it is shown
that average EDOM score to be high for the case of learning periods for the period 2006-2008.
During that period, aspect of learning evaluation received lowest average score compared to other
criteria. Meanwhile, during the period of 2009-2011, there is not much of a different across
criteria.
143
Figure 8. 1 Average EDOM Scores of based on Assessment Criteria
Notes: The highest score for each criterion is 4 for the period 2006-2008, and it is changed to 6
starting 2008-2009 term 2.
Figure 8. 2Figure 8. 2 shows there is an increased students’ satisfaction over the period. There are
85-90 percent of the classes considered as very good or good classes during 2006-2008, while it
more than 95 percent of classes considered as very good or good during 2009-2011. On average for
the period 2008-2011, students perceived of around 30 percent of ECON classes as very good
classes, while it is around 2-3 percent of the classes as adequate.
Figure 8. 2 Percentage of EDOM Scores of all ECON Subjects
Notes: The classification of EDOM scores is already adjusted with the change in maximum EDOM
score.
Related to academic process, input from students is also gathered from their respective academic
advisor (PA). As advisor would communicate study program in the case that there are issues on
academics taken by students such as on specific course opening, final paper consultation and
concentration of field related courses.
144
Table below shows that on the average, the curriculum and the learning process that they gathered
has generally improve students’ skill on writing, teamwork, problem-solving skill, public speaking
skill, goal setting skill, and general competencies. However, they consider that the current
curriculum is only slightly adequate in supporting preparation to enter the workforce,
improvement in technical and quantitative skill, self-confidence, English language skill, as well as on
time management skill.

Notes: 1=very poor; 2=poor; 3=fair; 4=good; 5=very good. These scores is obtained from 13
respondents of users from wide range of institutions.
EUP evaluates EDOM every semester and the result is use to assess academic staffs performance.
EDOM rank is one of the components that are used to determine teaching award to academic
staffs. Teaching award is announced on gathering of Dies Natalis FEUI each year.
8.2 Inputs from Alumni
In general, feedback from Alumni ranged from various occasions that are not only conducted by the
program, but also by Department, the Faculty, the University, as well as Student Body. Department
generally engaged in meeting with Alumni, especially when the alumni would continue study abroad
as well as after their returning. These alumni use to give feedback on the program in comparison to
University in which they continue study from. Through website of Department, alumni could also
give feedback on the Department as well as on the program, which in this case referring to EUP.
145
From alumni perspectives, alumni satisfactions are quite high on the teaching process and
administrative or academic services. In terms of curriculum and facilities, majority of these fresh
graduates also consider these factors as satisfactory. Figure 8. 3Figure 8. 3 shows overall alumni
satisfaction by type of performances. In the case of teaching process, majority of the alumni in each
cohort is consistently considers that teaching process in EUP is satisfactory. The academic staffs or
lecturers, as shown in previous chapters are actively conduct researches related to his or her
expertise field.
Figure 8. 3 Percentage of Alumni who Consider Program Curriculum, Teaching Process, Administrative Services, and Program Facilities Satisfactory
The input or feedback on curriculum generally for improving skill related quantitative courses using
or by introducing update softwares such as STATA and EViews or other relevant softwares27.
Meanwhile, in the case of facilities, there are suggestions to improve access and information on
books collections that are available in Department RLC. In this case, Department’s RLC following up
the suggestion have been regularly circulate on Department and FEUI Economics mailing list on the
info of new books collections. There is also input for computer lab to keep update softwares that are
used in which EUP supported.

respondents of users from wide range of institutions.
EUP alumni survey on their learning experience and inputs on what should be improve about its
curriculum is used to improve EUP’s courses as well as curriculum. Table 15.2 shows the results of
alumni perspectives on competencies that they acquired during their study in EUP.
Department also engaged meeting with Alumni, especially for alumnus who would continue study
abroad as well as after their returning. Their feedback is use by the program to compare EUP’s
curriculum to the Universities in which they continue study from.
Meanwhile, at Faculty level, there is an alumni association called as ILUNI FEUI that would
coordinate with administrative unit in the Faculty that handle students’ extracurricular activities and
alumni, or called as Mahalum (Mahasiswa dan Alumni). Each semester, representative of ILUNI FEUI
will gather in the Faculty on graduation commencement and to discuss activities that could enhance
academic activities conducted in Faculty. There is an alumni meeting on celebration of FEUI Dies
Natalis. There is also knowledge sharing meeting with some of the alumni that are invited by
recommendation of EUP to meet new students of EUP on student orientation activity. The alumni
would know advancement or changes in the program as well as share their experience on learning
process in the program to these new students. Faculty with the University coordinates the overall
students’ orientation.
The University conducted tracer study, in which the result could be used as a comparison of
employability of the FEUI alumni in comparison of alumni from other Faculty in University of
Indonesia. The results of University tracer study are disseminated to study programs and it is a
complement to baseline questionnaire that circulated to fresh graduates conducted by EUP.
The economics student body, KANOPI, also invites alumni in their student activity aiming to give
students perspectives on area of working. In KANOPI survey, it is known that there was a sharing
session held by KANOPI to know the step of studying overseas. Furthermore, KANOPI also invited
some senior economist who has expertise and experiences in Indonesian Economy such as Prof.
Miranda S. Goeltom, Prof. Anwar Nasution, and Darmin Nasution. The goals of the events are to
disclose the student mindsets about their interest in Economics.
147
8.3 Inputs from Academic Staff Academic staff is one of the stakeholders that actively shaped teaching and learning process in EUP.
Design and revision of EUP curriculum involved Department and academic staffs meeting and
consultation, referring to the case of formulation process of new curriculum that will be adopted
effectively in 2012.
Through media communication of academic staff mailing list, issues on the academic process are
discussed among academic staffs. There are also regular meetings or course in the starting year of a
semester. In this academic staffs meeting, they generally discuss and update of courses that also
includes on type of assessment of student learning process.
In regard to classroom facilities, academic staffs inputs on infrastructures and classrooms facilities
are assessed through response on any complaint in regard to facilities troubleshoot.
8.4 Inputs from Labor Market
Engagement of EUP and user is conducted through internship programs that are also coordinated at
Faculty level. As user of EUP graduates, inputs from labor market are essentials and generally it is
taken as part of curriculum review. EUP has conducted meetings with users in 2008 and 2011,
nonetheless much inputs also comes from users that also alumni of EUP through mailing list as well
as from regular meeting occasion coordinated by alumni association (ILUNI FEUI).
Job placement of EUP graduates ranged from working in government, i.e. in Ministry of Finance,
Ministry of Trade, and Central Bank, Legislative, subnational or local governments. There is also
quite high number of graduates work in private sector, especially in financial and banking sector
and research marketing company. Referring to various job of EUP graduates, study program in
coordination with Department, the meeting with user or employer is conducted in context of
stakeholder meeting, and as various alumni also employers of currently EUP graduates, input from
users.

Chapter 9 Conclusion
EUP expected learning outcomes are based on an understanding that students should possess some
required competencies after they graduate. The competencies include knowledge, skills, and
attitudes, as well as professional ethics that make the students able to fulfill job requirements, serve
the society, and progress themselves as persons and professionals throughout their life (i.e. long life
learning). And to make sure that the expected learning outcome is up to date and adaptable to the
growing needs of the stakeholders, review and evaluation are routinely held every three years.
Latest information from both tracer study and user survey are used as well to do the review and
evaluation.
The program structure of the EUP is designed following the credit-based system. To graduate from
the program, students must take at least 144 credits. Each credit is equivalent to three hours study
per week of the students, inside and outside classroom. The lowest course credit in the program is
one, and the highest is six, which belongs to the final project. Most courses in the EUP’s program
have two or three credits. Meanwhile, teaching and learning strategy formulated by EUP is aimed to
achieve the stated expected learning outcomes. The EUP also designs wide range of teaching and
learning methods to ensure that the students acquire the expected competences in the effective
academic environment.
On admission process, prospective students have to compete through a written exam to enter the
EUP, Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia. However, there is also a special invitation for top
rank students during high school and who won a national science competition. During their period
of study at EUP, students are subject to several academic evaluation, not only evaluation on each
courses they take in each semester, but also a periodic evaluation on their study progress. At the
end of the study period, students will have to work on a final project, and they will be evaluated
based on the final project they have worked on.
Department of Economics manages academic staffs joining through recruitment process, in which
academic staff development is supported and assessed based on evaluation of their teaching and
research, and their social commitment. The process of appraisal, reward and recognition of
academic staff performance is taking place in a system coordinated by the University and Faculty
(FEUI). The policy regarding the human resource affairs refer to the rules and policy that are
determined by the University and Faculty level.
As one program in Faculty of Economics University of Indonesia (FE UI), some of infrastructure and
facilities are managed at school level and utilize together with other programs, for example class
rooms, student center and resource-learning center. But besides that, EUP also has a number of
facilities and infrastructure in EUP building, which support the learning process in economic
subjects. For overall, all the facilities and infrastructure can be a good supporting tool for student in
enhancing their knowledge while studying.
The curriculum design process is a key process in supporting the achievement of the expected
learning outcome. In the curriculum design of EUP, the process involves important parties including
150
students and users as key stakeholders. The subsequent part is explanation of the monitoring
system of the curriculum by academic audit body at the university and faculty level.
In conducting its teaching and learning, EUP and the University as an institution engaged with
various stakeholders. EUP staff academics, students, alumni, student parents, as well as users or
labor market are agents that have interest with the improvement of the program. Furthermore, the
University and its study program as higher education institution has responsibility on catering what
is needed by general society in overall. Engagement across stakeholders and their involvement with
the study program could improve and make EUP striving.

outstanding performance in the development of teaching staff. The improvement of teaching staff
has lead to the improvement of relevance and academic atmosphere in the Department of
Economics-FEUI as it has been accompanied by the appropriate policy on planned human resource
management within the University of Indonesia.
The department of Economics-FEUI planned to increase the number of teaching staff who hold Ph.D.
degrees to improve the quality of teaching and research. The teaching staff that were sent in this
program not only were planned to replace the retired teaching staff, but also to enhance the quality
of research at FEUI by using the modern economic theory and the latest research methodology.
The QUE Project had sent 13 teaching staff in pursuing the doctoral degree in overseas program and
sandwich program. The number was above its original target, which was to send 11 teaching staff.
Six teaching staffs went to USA and UK, as three of them were studying in the full overseas program
and other three of them in the sandwich program. The other seven teaching staffs were studying in
the University of Indonesia in the sandwich program. At the end of the first year, the QUE Project
had sent seven teaching staff in presenting their academic research overseas. The overseas
conference and seminars will have developed the teaching staff experience in transferring their
knowledge to the students. All teaching staffs have finished their degrees and now are teaching and
conducting research in the undergraduate program in Department of Economics FEUI.
162
Obviously, the outcome of this activity has been improving the quality of educational process
through teaching and research activities in the program study and in the undergraduate program in
Department of Economics FEUI.
