Small Class Sizes

Each class is limited to 30 students. This gives every student the opportunity to be engaged in a more effective learning manner as she/he can have more interactions with classmates and with the lecturer. Small class sizes also provide a supportive environment for the realization of student-centered learning approaches that promote critical and creative thinking.

New Technologies

The advancement of new technologies enables new ways of learning. Students in the Faculty of Education will be immersed in new technologies from the very beginning. Not only will they be engaged in multiple modes of learning (face-to-face, blended, and online), but they will also learn skills such as coding and apps development. They will also learn to understand how internet of things impacts education. These skills and understanding will enable our graduates to reimagine teaching and learning for 21st-century learners in multiple contexts.

Contextual Learning Through The School Experience Program (SEP)

School Experience Program (SEP) is a systematic orientation for students in the Faculty of Education to understand and enact teaching, integrate theory-practice, and develop the tools and dispositions to study teaching. Starting in the first semester, students in the Faculty of Education are assigned to learn in real K-12 classroom settings. In addition to developing an understanding of learners and learning to teach their subject in diverse contexts, they also develop inquiry skills, a critical vision of good teaching, and a strong commitment to students and student learning. SEP is conducted every semester and senior students will work as interns in schools.

Learning From Experts With Firsthand Knowledge In Education

Educator Sharing Network (ESN) is a forum for scholars and experts in the field of education to share best practices, ideas, and innovations. This forum reinforces our goal of making sure our students are work-ready and world-ready. ESN becomes a hub where education professionals contribute to the development of education in Indonesia through presentations and sharing sessions.

The National Educator Conference

The National Educator Conference is hosted biennially by Sampoerna University as part of our commitment to advancing educational and school administration best practices across Indonesia. These events typically bring hundreds of educationists to our campus every other year. This provides a unique opportunity for our students to network and learn from teachers, education administrators, lecturers, development agencies and government officials.

Capstone Project: Applying Knowledge In Real Contexts

As a requirement to graduate from Faculty of Education, senior students have to participate in Capstone projects. This project provides students with various learning experiences – obtained through the School Experience Program, the Community Service Program (CSP – KKN in Indonesian)- and the opportunity to integrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired through the coursework.
