Abstract

Neoliberal ideology’s influence on higher education has been a concern for researchers on a global scale. Indonesian researchers have also examined the practice of neoliberalism in higher education. However, they only focused on the managerial dimension and there is a dearth of literature on the influence of neoliberalism ideology on educational policy. This study intends to close a gap in earlier studies by investigating the ideological remnants of Neoliberalism in the notion of ‘Kampus Merdeka’ or Emancipated Learning as perceived by 12 lecturers at English Education Department in Yogyakarta. This study employed a qualitative approach through the use of semi-structured interviews. The study found that university and departmental missions were aligned with industry demands; the curriculum was driven by industry; the teaching and learning process was determined by the market; the Tridharma of Higher Education was extended to industry; little emphasis was placed on moral and religious values; curriculum “vocationalization” was emphasized; collaboration with industry was focused; academic commodification and consumerism increased; and academic commodification and consumerism accelerated. The findings added to a new existing theme, that is increased collaboration with industry. Moral and religious values must be incorporated into the curriculum, as they are absent in ‘Kampus Merdeka’ paradigm.

Abstract

Pedagogical competence is one of compulsory competencies required for teachers to perform their tasks professionally. To produce qualified teachers, many teacher training institutions provide courses that can help pre-service teachers build their pedagogical competences, such as Microteaching. However, not all pre-service teachers understand the importance of this course, and they barely take this course seriously. This research aimed to explore how Microteaching course can assist pre-service teachers build their pedagogical competences and explores its aspects that can be improved. Utilizing qualitative approach, six participants of preservice teachers of English language education department of Private University in Central Java were involved, and they were individually interviewed to collect the data. Microteaching course enables pre-service teachers build their pedagogical competences in that 1) it improves their lesson plan, 2) it provides them with teaching practice experiences, and 3) it gives opportunities for them to evaluate their teaching practices. In addition, Microteaching course enables the pre-service teachers to build their pedagogical competencies aspects, comprising 1)identifying students’ characteristics, 2) carrying out reflection, 3) understanding students’ learning, 4) developing students’ potentials, 5) building good communication skills, and 6) carrying out assessment and evaluation. As microteaching course enables pre-service teachers improve their pedagogical knowledge in many aspects, students of teacher training should take the course more seriously.
