Expected Learning Outcomes
The Expected Learning Outcomes (ELOs) that have been set for the undergraduate programme in the Department of History Universitas Gadjah Mada was defined on the basis of the actual and factual needs of the programme and took both the internal and external aspects into consideration. The internal aspect refers to the operational needs of Universitas Gadjah Mada in managing its internal affairs, whereas the external aspect is related to the stakeholders’ needs that the university attempts to fulfill. ELOs are defined in accordance with the established learning taxonomy and system and are continuously developed for the academic management of the History Department at the level of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences and at the level of Universitas Gadjah Mada. The specific process of formulating ELOs for the undergraduate programme in the department has ensured that its substance is consistent with the visions and missions of the history department, the faculty and the university. The completion of the process was followed by the ELOs being communicated internally to the students, the academic staff and the administrative staff as well as externally to the public through the history department’s website and to the stakeholders through the official information channel that is designated for the department’s partner organizations, alumni, and fellow members of the association of history degree programmes in Indonesia’s higher education institutions.
