BUDAYA AKADEMIK DI INDONESIA Pengertian dan Opini

Abstract

Research which covered nations and opinions concerning academic culture in Indonesia was very rarely-or even never-carried out in Indonesia. Consequently, model, conception and picture of the academic life and activities in Indonesia have been hard to be defined and described. This article is a part of the study concerning academic culture in Indonesia which has been carried out at 10 (ten) prominent state universities in Indonesia including UI (Jakarta/Depok), UNPAD (Bandung), UNDIP (Semarang), UGM (Yogyakarta), UNAIR (Surabaya), USU (Medan), UNUD (Denpasar), UNLAM (Banjarmasin), UNHAS ( Ujungpandang), and UNCEN (Jayapura). A series of survey has been conducted during 1998 to 2000 by interviewing 219 state university lecturers and professors at universities under stady, in order to build a definition, conception and notion of academic culture in Indonesia. Conception and notion of academic culture has also been accomplished with academic tradition (tradisi akademik) and scientific autonomy (otonomi keilmuan)
