Pengantar MPKT UI -- Prof. DR. Ir. Raldi Artono

MPKT Course Overview and Philosophy
📌 The MPKT (Integrated Personality Development Course) at UI is presented as a crucial program, tracing its origins to Liberal Arts concepts adapted to Indonesian characteristics.
👨‍🏫 The core methodology shifts learning from traditional lecturing to Student-Centered Learning (SCL), emphasizing active student participation.
💡 The course aims to instill essential values to counteract negative personality deviations observed in society, emphasizing holistic development over mere expertise.

Core Universitas Indonesia (UI) Values
🛡️ The nine UI values are divided into personal and institutional categories: the first five are personal values (Honesty, Justice, Trustworthiness, Dignity, Responsibility).
🎯 The first value, Honesty, is paramount; talent or skill is worthless if honesty is absent (value becomes zero).
🏛️ The institutional values (6-9) focus on togetherness, openness, academic freedom/scientific autonomy, and compliance with rules.

Learning Methods and Student Role
🤝 Learning utilizes Collaborative Learning and Problem-based Learning (PBL), where students work in groups to discuss and solve given issues.
🚫 The course actively combats "free riders" (parasites in group work), requiring everyone to participate equally, with active members encouraging passive peers.
🧠 The system is designed to foster the emergence of creative ideas through active collaboration and discussion, which is atypical in many standard Indonesian university courses.

Vision, Service, and Leadership Development
🙏 The speaker highlights the principle of community service over pure education or research, sharing the success of a free baby incubator lending service established from a research idea.
📈 This service, started in 2012, expanded to 156 cities by January 2025 (target is 300), helping around 6,500 babies by December 2023, illustrating that pursuing a good vision leads to divine help, often through trials.
🔮 MPKT teaches leadership with integrity crucial for achieving Indonesia Emas 2045, as future leaders (who will be around 40 in 2045) must be anti-corruption.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The ultimate educational goal is to strengthen your identity and allow your true self to emerge, rather than merely becoming an expert or imitating others.
➡️ To realize aspirations, students must set a vision (a 10-15 year goal) and maintain focus, ensuring behaviour reflects spiritual values and ethics.
➡️ True success in service (like the incubator project) involves shifting from a demanding mindset (salary, facilities) to one focused on giving and helping others, including the marginalized.
➡️ Overcoming God-sent trials/tests (often presented as a steep, slippery path) is necessary to move up a level toward achieving significant goals.
