Abstract — Kuliah Kerja Terpadu (KKT) adalah bentuk kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat oleh mahasiswa dengan pendekatan lintas keilmuan dan sektoral pada waktu dan daerah tertentu. Direktorat Jendral Pendidikan Tinggi di Indonesia telah mewajibkan setiap perguruan untuk melaksanakan KKT sebagai kegiatan intrakurikuler yang memadukan tri dharma perguruan tinggi yaitu : pendidikan, penelitian, dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Diakhir kegiatan mahasiswa diwajibkan membuat laporan yang isinya adalah kegiatan, informasi atau gambaran serta program dari sejak perencanaan, pelaksanaan serta hasil yang dicapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan membuat sistem yang dapat memudahkan dalam melaporkan kegiatan KKT. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan metode RAD (Rapid Application Development). RAD adalah metode pengembangan aplikasi yang relefan dalam pembuatan sistem ini. Dari penelitian tersebut maka akan menghasilkan aplikasi web yang dapat diakses dengan mudah. Kata kunci — KKT, Pelaporan, RAD, Web  Abstract — Integrated Working Lecture (KKT) is a form of community service activities by students with a cross-scientific and Sectoral approach at a particular time and area.

Higher education in Jordan has been tied closely to the state-building process in the century since the modern Hashemite state's foundation in 1921, with its explicit purpose being to educate and train high volumes of students who are competent and capable to serve as contributors to the state's development. Though this purpose has largely been successful to date, it is becoming increasingly clear that more is needed than simply issuing degrees. In an increasingly globalized world, it is necessary to educate those who can contribute to future research arenas and labor markets over which a single state has limited control. Within this perspective, we detail the evolved societal position that higher education institutions in Jordan occupy and how that position has made such institutions a liability in the nation's continued sustainable development. It is important to emphasize that we do not address here classical sustainability issues, but rather focus on more fundamental and culturally-relevant issues pertaining to the survivability of universities in Jordan upon which more global sustainability views and solutions can be predicated. Specifically, we outline the unsustainability of impersonal, inefficient and ineffective infrastructure, centralization of policies and academic practices, lack of autonomy and/or self-governance, considerable financial dependence on the state, and a general hesitation for higher education institutions to seek boldly societal and economic impact beyond the simple production of graduates. To counter this unsustainability, we propose a three-pronged approach that can help catalyze the re-imagining of Jordan's higher education institutions so that they become maximally effective contributors to the state's future sustainable development. Our proposed approach is based on (i) internally decentralizing higher education institutions to enable greater autonomy and academic freedom, (ii) re-purposing these institutions to become more student-centric, and (iii) embracing diversity and academic community recognition. Finally, it is the intention of this perspective to highlight not only those challenges facing higher education institutions in Jordan, but also to present clearly the necessary and practical steps that institutions themselves may take immediately to ensure their relevance in, and impact on, modern society.

The measuring of organizational climate aims to obtain feedback that can inform an organization on ways in which to make improvements; not only in the work environment, but also in the quality of it; hence, it is important to possess instruments that provide reliable information of what is intended to be measured. Describing the building process of an organizational climate instrument is the objective of the present article, in which, after having established the relevance of the topic in the introduction; the stages developed for the elaboration and validation of the measuring instrument of the organizational climate perceived by professors of Higher Education Institution are presented. The result of this process is an instrument with four factors and nineteen dimensions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the links between value creation and university business models in a dynamic global higher education marketplace. Design/methodology/approach – This paper combines primary and secondary research to critique the current “export led” business models of universities in a context of growing competition and conflicting perceptions of value among various stakeholders. Findings – In a context of market turbulence, funding crises and concerns over competition, complexity and sustainability, there are concerns over the longer term viability of current university business models, reflected in indications of differentiation among providers. Research limitations/implications – The paper has emerged from the primary research into business models in book publishing (Australian Research Council) and subsequent book on digital publishing (Ashgate Publishers). Here, the authors have applied the same model building process to what has been learned about university business models from the wider literature. While this means that much of the research is secondary, there is still an original element in the model building and analysis processes. Practical implications – The paper has practical implications for university planners seeking to review or replace their business models in an increasingly complex and challenging global marketplace. Social implications – The paper has implications for a number of stakeholders – university managers and their staff, business partners, students, government and professional bodies. In a wider sense it relates to concerns over complexity, social responsibility and sustainability at both organisational and community levels. Originality/value – University business models have received relatively little attention in the management literature, and frequently this has involved little more than allusions to business models than detailed treatment of their structure and content. This paper fills a gap by providing a number of alternative business models for universities. Although the broad context is that of Australian universities, the analysis is applicable to the circumstances of other countries.

During the time of enlightened absolutism, the development of education became a state duty. The philosophers of the Enlightenment began to deal with the question of the education of elite women and that played an important role in the nation-building process. Educational reforms initiated by Catherine the Great and Maria Theresa established state educational systems in Russia and in Hungary. The first state-financed higher education institute for women in Europe was opened in Russia. Similar schools in Hungary only appeared a century later. This article compares Russian and Hungarian boarding-schools for noble maidens, focusing on the beginning of these elite institutes and the secondary-level education ensured by them. This essay is dedicated to the memory of L.N. Semenova.

In this chapter, the institutional development of higher education and research in Norway is analysed as a process that has been intimately intertwined with the strong geographical dimension of the country’s nation-building process. This aspect of the sector’s development has been important under different phases of its political history. To be legitimate, national political decisions have always had to consider and mediate between conflicting regional interests. Following Mark Bevir’s (2011) distinction between different stages of nation building, I especially point at how decision makers under the present phase of a neoliberal and networking state seem to act as if the geographical rationales underpinning the national project can be ignored. The sector in question offers an illustrative case, as higher educational institutions bear a stronger affinity to their regional embeddedness than often acknowledged.
