Abstract

Growing demands for global competitiveness and accountability push universities to adopt innovative strategies. In the context of higher education in Indonesia, there is a growing recognition of the need to align with international standards to improve quality, relevance, and competitiveness. One promising approach is the adoption of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), which emphasizes clear learning outcomes and continuous improvement, supported by systematic quality assurance. This study examines how OBE, when combined with international benchmarking, can effectively enhance educational quality and institutional performance. The aim is to explore the role of benchmarking in identifying performance gaps and adopting best practices to support sustainable academic improvement. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing data collected from document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and institutional case studies. These sources provided a comprehensive understanding of the strategies implemented and the institutional changes observed. The findings reveal that integrating OBE with international benchmarking significantly improves curriculum alignment, student centered learning, and internal quality assurance systems. Benchmarking serves as a strategic tool to compare institutional practices with global standards, fostering the adoption of innovative pedagogical and assessment methods. It also contributes to improving academic reputation and international rankings. The integration of OBE and benchmarking provides a practical and sustainable framework for higher education institutions to enhance academic quality and global competitiveness. This model supports continuous institutional improvement and positions Indonesian universities to better meet global challenges in the education sector.

Abstract

Plant productivity is often constrained by abiotic stress in the form of high salt levels. However, a symbiosis between plant and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can reduce the severity of the effect of salt stress on cultivated plants. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of salt stress on the antioxidant substances and biochemical parameters of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) plants that had been inoculated with the fungus Glomus manihotis. A factorial completely randomized design with seven replicates was used with status of inoculation by the fungus G. manihotis (inoculated vs. not inoculated) as one of factors and the concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) (0, 50, 100, and 200 mM) as the other status factor. Several parameters in the chia plants were measured including: root infection, phosphorus content, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase and catalase), and malondialdehyde content. The results showed that chia plants inoculated with G. manihotis (mycorrhizal plants), even under salt stress conditions, had higher phosphorus content than non-mycorrhizal plants. High salt levels reduced the percentage of root infection by the mycorrhizal fungus of G. manihotis. Under salt stress conditions, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of chia leaves were higher in mycorrhizal plants than in non-mycorrhizal plants. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase of mycorrhizal chia plants were higher than those of non-mycorrhizal plants, even though they were grown under conditions of high salt levels. The malondialdehyde content of chia plants increased with salt concentration, but decreased in chia plants inoculated with G. manihotis. The findings of this study indicate that G. manihotis inoculation is effective in reducing the effect of salt stress on chia plants.
