The workshop on Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) preparation and evaluation of the MBKM program in PTB FKIP UNS was held on Monday (28/3/2022). The workshop was held in a hybrid method and invited Aris Widodo, S.Pd., M.T., from the Faculty of Engineering (FT) Universitas Negeri Semarang (Unnes). The best practice sharing by the speaker is expected to provide a reference for PTB UNS in managing its MBKM program.

The Dean of FKIP UNS, Dr. Mardiyana, M.Si., explained the MBKM program implementation in the faculty while emphasizing the importance of partnership among the universities and industry. The Dean also explained the importance of SOP in running the MBKM program and activities.

The workshop was attended by faculty members, academic staff, and students who were enthusiastic about participating. In his presentation, Aris Widodo, S.Pd., M.T discussed the development of the MBKM program, which initially focused more on student exchange among the universities.

“The MBKM activities continue to expand to other activities. Unnes has developed a web-based system that can be accessed from related parties anywhere,” Aris explained.

Following the material was a discussion session. The most discussed topic in the workshop was the recognition process. The discussion was followed by a review of SOP of the MBKM program in PTB led by MBKM coordinator Dr. Ag. Tamrin.

The workshop resulted in the final SOP for MBKM PTB that will be implemented in the second semester of 2021/2022.

Further, Zainudin Amali pointed out that sports science is an inseparable part of a country’s sports achievement progress in this modern era. He wants the sports development center in Central Java Province to synergize with UNS and Semarang State University (Unnes) to develop sports science. “Those who understand sports science are none other than academics members of a university,” he said.

As for UNS, Zainudin Amali specifically entrusts paralympic athletes coaching in Surakarta. This decision is based on the proximity of the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) and the National Training Center location to the UNS Kentingan main campus. Additionally, UNS also has experience supervising paralympic athletes. Later on, UNS is expected to collaborate with Unnes that was appointed by the Indonesian Ministry of Youth and Sports to foster athletes preparing for the Olympics.

“For the Paralympics, we have UNS that will be ready to support sports science. So far, UNS has assisted numerous athletes with great achievements. Moreover, the President has bestowed directions to establish a nearby training camp in Karanganyar. Yesterday I reviewed the selected location, while the Ministry of PUPR will immediately follow up on the infrastructure construction,” explained Zainudin Amali.

On the other hand, DBON is a new paradigm to nurture the national athletes’ achievements that must be perfected. Sports science is one of the crucial pillars in DBON. These pillars need to be synergized with faculties specialized in sports education at credible and reputable universities.

UNS participation in DBON was declared by Zainudin Amali during the dissemination of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 86 of 2021 on Sunday (28/11/2021). This special event, which was attended by the Mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka and the Chair of the Indonesian National Paralympic Committee (NPC) Senny Marbun, was opened directly by the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho.

Prof. Jamal states that the dissemination of Presidential Decree No. 86/2021 aims to promulgate the national sports development plan aspired by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi), thus, improving national athletes achievements in the international arena.

“This DBON serves as guidelines or instruction on the direction and policy for integration and collaboration to improve the nation’s competitiveness at the international sports level, as well as fostering and developing national sports in the long term,” said Prof. Jamal. Humas UNS
