Studi ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran atas faktor-faktor pendukung kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) di Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) dari sudut pandang manajemen level atas pengelola perguruan tinggi. Metode penelitian dilakukan secara kualitatif melalui observasi dan wawancara demi untuk umendapatkan pemahaman perspektif yang integratif. Triangulasi dilakukan sebagai penegakan validitas dan reliabilitas.  Sebagai triangulasi sumber informan dibedakan tas dua kategori yaitu kategori pertama adalah Rektor UPH sebagai pimpinan universitas dan kategori kedua adalah para pimpinan adminsitrasi pelaksana penunjang program MBKM yaitu Wakil Rektor bidang inovasi, Kepala LPPM; Director Teaching and Learning Center; Manajer Audit, SPMI, Accreditation support dan PIC MBKM di UPH. Hasil wawancara ditampilkan dalam tabel, dimulai dari transkrip wawancara di reduksi sesuai tujuan penelitian untuk memperoleh kategori, pola dan variabel faktor-faktor penunjang keberlangsungan program MBKM di UPH meliputi sosialisasi internal, tantangan penerapan, proses pembelajaran inovatif, penyesuian kurikulum, dukungan teknologi, belajar melalui praktik Dunia Usaha Dunia Industri (DUDI), kompetensi lulusan, dukungan institusi, tantangan kolaborasi, komunikasi pihak terkait program, kreativitas pelaksana kebijakan, kebijakan pemerintah yang stabil, keberlangsungan program MBKM. Kemudian dari variabel-variabel laten yang terbentuk dirumuskan dalam proposisi-proposisi untuk menghasilkan model mengarah pemahaman integratif atas faktor penunjang keberlangsungan program MBKM di UPH. Kontribusi penelitian ini dapat memberikan input bagi pengelola MBKM di UPH dan Universitas swasta lain dalam aplikasi program MBKM lebih baik yang selaras visi universitas dan menunjang proses pembelajaran

<p><em>Guidance and assistance in learning are necessary for every child, whether it is for the students who have attended school or not. Most of the parents who live in the Bonang area can not fulfill this activity. Parents who have not be able to accompany their children in learning after school are caused several factors, namely cognitive inability of parents, the busyness of parents in work, and the inability of parents economically to send their children to learning center, and some are even do not trust some learning center. Mathematics education students are prepared in the field of school mathematics teaching and learning expertise. For them, this activity is a valuable opportunity to gain teaching experience, as well as learning to implement the theories that have been learned, both in terms of pedagogy and mathematics. The purpose of this community is as a place to synchronize students’ need to implement their learning practices with the needs of schoolchildren</em> <em>around Bonang. The activity is in the form of assistance at one of the residents’ houses in Bonang. The benefits of this assistance activity are felt by all parties, schoolchildren</em> <em>as learning participants receive learning guidance in terms of cognitive and character, parents who are assisted and feel happy to see children's development in education, and the tutors can directly learn to implement knowledge and practice teaching.</em></p><p><strong>ABSTRACT (INDONESIAN):</strong> Bimbingan dan pendampingan belajar diperlukan oleh setiap anak, baik yang bersekolah maupun yang tidak bersekolah. Kegiatan tersebut belum dapat dipenuhi oleh sebagian besar orang tua yang berdomisili di daerah Bonang. Orang tua yang belum dapat mendampingi anak-anaknya dalam belajar sepulang sekolah disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu ketidakmampuan orang tua secara kognitif, kesibukan orang tua dalam bekerja dan ketidakmampuan orang tua secara ekonomi untuk mengikutsertakan anaknya di dalam bimbingan belajar yang bersifat komersial, bahkan ada yang kurang percaya pada bimbingan belajar tertentu. Mahasiswa pendidikan matematika dipersiapkan pada bidang keahlian belajar mengajar matematika sekolah. Bagi mahasiswa, kegiatan tersebut merupakan kesempatan yang berharga untuk mendapatkan pengalaman mengajar, sekaligus belajar untuk mengimplementasikan teori yang sudah dipelajari, baik dari segi pedagogy maupun keilmuan matematika. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah sebagai wadah untuk mensinkronisasikan kebutuhan mahasiswa untuk mengimplementasikan praktik pembelajaran mereka dengan kebutuhan anak sekolah di sekitar Bonang. Adapun kegiatan bimbingan belajar tersebut diselenggarakan di rumah salah satu warga di Bonang. Manfaat kegiatan bimbingan belajar ini dirasakan oleh semua pihak, anak-anak sekolah sebagai peserta belajar mendapatkan bimbingan belajar dari segi koginitif dan karakter, orangtua yang terbantukan dan merasa bahagia melihat perkembangan anak dalam pendidikan dan mahasiswa pendidikan matematika yang menjadi tutor dapat secara langsung belajar mengimplementasikan ilmu dan praktek mengajarnya.</p>

At the ISSOTL Conference in Bergen, Norway (October 2018), we were privileged to have heard a lecture by Professor Elizabeth Minnich, on “People who are not thinking Are capable of anything: What are students learning, how are students learning it, and does it make them better people?” As a follow up, in November 2019, Chng Huang Hoon (then-ISSOTL Vice President - Asia Pacific) invited the ISSOTL community to field their questions for Professor Minnich. Questions from four ISSOTL members were received. TLI has provided the platform to enable us to continue that important conversation. The participants are: Elizabeth Minnich, philosopher, author, teacher, Distinguished Fellow (Association of American Colleges & Universities). John Draeger, Professor of Philosophy and Director, Teaching and Learning Center, SUNY Buffalo State, USA. Torgny Roxå, Associate Professor and Academic Developer, Excellent Teaching Practitioner, Centre for Engineering Education, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University, Sweden. Johan Geertsema, Associate Professor (University Scholars Programme) and Director, Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning, National University of Singapore. Chng Huang Hoon, Associate Professor (English Language & Literature), Associate Provost (Undergraduate Education) and Director (Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Centre), National University of Singapore. This conversation is in 3-parts: 1) Part One: Thoughtfulness, Thoughtlessness, Thinking and Teaching 2) Part Two: Thoughtlessness, scholarly reflection, and Outcomes-based teaching and learning 3) Part Three: Intensive and Extensive SoTL

Usually, so far, formal education mostly focuses on treating only strictly separated and specialized topic areas, called disciplines. However, as the need for cooperation between professionals oriented from different disciplines grows, the need for a multidisciplinary educational approach becomes more and more important. For a technical education to be completed, it is no longer enough to train scientists and engineers solely in technical areas. In development and implementation of technology-driven applications, multidisciplinary issues should be properly addressed in the academic sense. The College of Engineering at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) has addressed this issue of multidisciplinary education by developing and offering interdisciplinary programs such as Mechatronics program, which is jointly offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE), and also transdisciplinary programs such as a specialization in biomedical signals and medical devices (approved, but not yet offered at the time of writing this book chapter, 2016) and a program in agricultural engineering. Also, to make engineering graduates capable of working effectively in multidisciplinary teams, final-year projects (FYP) of multidisciplinary nature has been defined and implemented by the students under the supervision of faculty members.
