Bali, Indonesia — The Sociology and Anthropology Education Study Program of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Political Science (FISIP), Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), successfully conducted an Educational Field Study Program (KLLP) on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. The activity was attended by 133 students and held across three partner schools in Bali Province: SMA Negeri 1 Gianyar, SMA Negeri 1 Tampaksiring, and SMA Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School.
The KLLP serves as a vital component of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum, designed to strengthen the pedagogical, social, and professional competencies of future educators. Through this program, students gained hands-on experience in school management, educational climate and culture, digital literacy, school partnerships, and ethnopedagogy—the practice of education rooted in local wisdom.
The accompanying lecturers included Dr. Elly Kismini, Dr. Nurul Fatimah, Prof. Dr. Thriwaty Arsal, Dr. Atika Wijaya, Dr. Moh. Solehatul Mustofa, and Didi Pramono, M.Pd. They guided students in exploring various topics such as education management, school digitalization, and ethnopedagogical-based learning. In addition to observations, students also conducted interviews, documentation, and analyses of educational practices at partner schools.
This activity directly contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing the competencies of future educators, and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through academic collaboration between UNNES and educational institutions in Bali.
Dr. Atika Wijaya, S.A.P., M.Si., Coordinator of the Sociology and Anthropology Education Study Program, stated that the program not only broadens students’ perspectives but also reinforces the values of conservation and inter-institutional collaboration.
“This KLLP activity represents our real commitment to producing educators who are characterized, adaptive to change, and globally minded, while still grounded in local cultural values,” she said.
With the theme “Make it Fun, Make it Count,” the 2025 KLLP serves as a strategic initiative in realizing contextual, inspiring, and relevant sociology and anthropology learning—preparing students to face the evolving challenges of modern education.
