Development of RPS preparation model in Tidar University general course

Abstract

General courses (MKU) are compulsory subjects for undergraduate and diploma students. The administration of general courses is based on the Law, Article 2 of Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System and the Rector's Regulation of Tidar University No. 15/UN57/HK.01/2019 Regarding Tidar University Academic Guidelines. There are six general courses at Tidar University, namely Religious Education, Citizenship Education, Pancasila Education, Entrepreneurship, Indonesian, and English. MKU learning requires good planning. Planning in MKU learning is the Semester Learning Plan (RPS). Based on the results of the first year of research on the condition of the MKU planning, in compiling the RPS, lecturers are still having difficulties. Difficulties have an impact on the results of the RPS between lecturers, especially in understanding and filling out the components of the same RPS, but the content varies. The variation is caused by differences in perceptions in understanding the components of the RPS. This problem occurs because, in the preparation of the RPS, there is no guide or guidelines for the preparation of the RPS. To overcome the different understandings, this research in the second year seeks to develop a model of RPS preparation for general courses at Tidar University. This research focuses on developing guidelines as a guide for MKU Untidar lecturers in preparing RPS. The results of this study indicate that the guidelines for preparing RPS can help Lecturers prepare RPS properly and correctly.
