The design of the learning process is translated into RPS (Rencana Pembelajaran Semester/Semester Course Detail) developed by lecturers, independently or in a group. The RPS focuses on how to guide students to learn so that they have the ability to accordance with the learning outcomes that are imposed on the courses/blocks. It is designed for student-centered learning (SCL). The RPS ensures the achievement of graduate learning outcomes (CPL) entrusted to courses or CPMK (Capaian Pembelajaran Mata Kuliah/Course Learning Outcomes), which is reviewed annually. Therefore, the RPS serves as a guide for the team teaching in implementing, evaluating, and reporting the assessment results. RPS is also a guide for students to study and an instrument of quality assurance for study programme education.
The preparation of the RPS is carried out through the following stages: determining the graduate learning outcomes assigned to the course (CPMK), determining the stages of learning/learning analysis/composing sub-CPMK, determining learning materials/discussion topics, determining methods and forms of learning to achieve sub-CPMK, and determination of learning assessment. The CPMK is required: 1. Oriented to students, not to lecturers or subjects; 2. Oriented to learning outcomes, not to the learning process.
Below are examples of the RPS prepared and used in the Environmental Science Study Program.
