Selain mahasiswa Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) aktif, relawan gempa NTB juga berasal dari alumni. Selain inisiasi sendiri, alumni ini bergerak bersama organisasi yang didirikan. Salah satunya adalah Dzun Haryadi Ittiqo.

Dzun bersama alumni Farmasi UAD NTB menjadi relawan sebagai tim medis bagian obat-obatan. Mereka bekerja sama dengan dokter setempat.

“Kami keliling ke tempat pengungsian memberikan logistik. Logistik berupa sembako ini diberikan agar warga mau berobat. Hal ini kami lakukan karena warga takut berobat. Banyak warga malu-malu dan takut disuntik. Mereka juga takut bayar, padahal gratis,” terang Dzun, Ketua Kamada Farmasi Nusa Tenggara Barat saat ditemui Minggu (7/10/2018).

Dosen D3 Farmasi Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram (UMMat) ini mengaku, banyak penyakit kulit, infeksi saluran pernapasan (Ispa), batuk pilek, tapi yang paling banyak adalah sindrom hipertensi. Ini karena kaget gempa sehingga tensinya menjadi naik.

Dzun menjelaskan, alumni Farmasi di NTB ada sekitar 200 yang tergabung dalam Kamada. “Kegiatan rutin kami yakni pertemuan alumni, seminar, aksi-aksi sosial seperti bencana alam, atau hal yang ada hubungannya dengan dunia farmasi,” tukasnya.

Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Center for Early Childhood Care Education and Parenting (CECCEP). SEAMEO is an international organization intended to promote cooperation in the fields of education, science and culture in the Southeast Asian regions.

This cooperation agreement will be implemented in the Early Childhood Education Study Program (PGPAUD) of UAD, covering the fields of education, research and community service. Rector of UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum., described that this collaboration could improve the quality of PGPAUD graduates to be educators and professional parents.

In his speech, he expressed the importance of the cooperation between SEAMEO and UAD because UAD is a university that has a passion in education from an early age to university.

"Parenting education is currently a very urgent need. Many modern parents spend more time working. Therefore, the time with the children is limited, and they finally give the responsibility of taking care of the child to educational institutions and pramusiwi or a babysitter," he explained at the Islamic Center hall of UAD Campus 4 on Tuesday (10/16/2018).

For this reason, Kasiyarno shared his expectation that, in the future, cooperation with SEAMEO could generate innovations in the fields of education, related to children and parents. According to him, educating children did not only make them smart in terms of science, but they also had to have good moral and mental.

Meanwhile, Dr. Dwi Priyono, M.Ed., the Interim Center Director of SEAMEO CECCEP emphasized the role of central parents for the child development. "SEAMEO CECCEP has a commitment and concern for children. Children cannot be separated from parents, educational and social environments. Thus, we do research, studies, training, make learning media and various other things to support children development so they can become a quality generation. "

One of the impacts of this collaboration is that the lecturers of UAD PGPAUD can send their research or studies to SEAMEO CECCEP to be learning media. The media will be distributed to the community and can be training materials. Meanwhile, the lecturers involved can become international trainers to introduce the results of their research to countries in the ASEAN regions. (ard)

“Parenting education saat ini menjadi kebutuhan yang sangat mendesak. Banyak orang tua modern lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu untuk bekerja. Sehingga waktu dengan anak-anak lebih sedikit, dan akhirnya menyerahkan tanggung jawab anak kepada lembaga pendidikan maupun pramusiwi,” jelasnya di aula Islamic Center Kampus 4 UAD, Selasa (16/10/2018).

Atas alasan tersebut Kasiyarno berharap ke depan kerja sama dengan SEAMEO dapat melahirkan inovasi-inovasi di bidang pendidikan, terkait anak-anak, dan orang tua.

Anak-anak tidak dapat terlepas dari orang tua, lingkungan pendidikan, dan sosial. Jadi kita melakukan riset, penelitian, pelatihan, membuat media pembelajaran, dan berbagai lainnya untuk mendukung perkembangan anak menjadi generasi yang berkualitas.”

Salah satu imbas dari kerja sama ini, dosen PGPAUD UAD dapat mengirimkan riset atau penelitian kepada SEAMEO CECCEP untuk dijadikan sebagai media pembelajaran. Media ini akan disebarluaskan ke masyarakat dan bisa menjadi materi pelatihan. Sementara dosen yang terlibat bisa jadi trainer internasional untuk memperkenalkan hasil risetnya ke negara-negara di wilayah ASEAN. (ard)

BEM UAD Adakan Kismis

/in /by

Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa (BEM) Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) di bawah naungan Kementerian Agama rutin mengadakan Kajian Kamis Sore (Kismis). Kajian ini pertama kali diselenggarakan Kamis (11/10/2018), dimulai pukul 16.00 WIB hingga menjelang azan Maghrib.

Kismis pertama dengan pembicara Ustaz Budi Jaya Putera, dihadiri 72 jemaah dari kalangan mahasiswa, dosen, maupun karyawan UAD. Pada kesempatan ini, hal yang dibahas mengenai cara menjadi remaja ala islami.

Kegiatan yang digagas BEM sejalan dengan UAD yang menjunjung tinggi nilai moral, intelektual, dan integritas. Nilai moral merupakan sesuatu yang penting di lembaga pendidikan seperti UAD. Pembentukan nilai moral di kalangan mahasiswa dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara, salah satunya seperti Kismis.

Budi menerangkan, kehidupan bebas bagi remaja menyebabkan kerusakan moral. Sampai-sampai kerusakan moral tidak disadari lagi dan dianggap biasa saja. “Kerusakan moral tersebut dapat menyebar luas jika tidak ada upaya dalam melakukan pencegahan. Banyak sekali remaja yang menganggap masa mudanya hanya untuk bersenang-senang hingga lupa bahwa yang mereka kerjakan itu pasti ada balasannya.”

Menurutnya, kehidupan remaja ala islami berarti harus menjadi remaja yang unggul. Yaitu remaja yang kreatif, cerdas, percaya diri, dan memiliki potensi. Budi memiliki saran untuk menjadi remaja yang unggul ala islam.

Di antaranya yang harus dimiliki adalah akidah yang bersih, ibadah yang benar, akhlak yang kokoh, kuat jasmani, wawasan luas, melawan hawa nafsu, menjaga waktu, teratur dalam segala urusan, mandiri dari segi ekonomi, dan bermanfaat bagi orang lain.

Materi yang ringan namun berbobot ini bermanfaat bagi remaja di era milenial seperti sekarang. Selain kajian, dari kesempatan ini juga terkumpul infak sebanyak 757.100 rupiah. (doc/ard)

A Day without Shadow at UAD

/in /by

Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) held an observation and discussion on the Day without Shadow on Saturday (10/13/2018), at UAD campus 4, which is located on Jln. Ringroad Utara, Tamanan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. This event is commemorated twice a year, when the culmination position of the sun is just above the city of Yogyakarta.

This activity was supported by UAD Center of Astronomy Study (Pastron), UAD Space and Astronomy Study Group (Andromeda), and Muhammadiyah Central Board Tarjih Council. Present at the discussion were Yudhiakto Pramudya, Ph.D., the Chairperson of Pastron, and Dr. Muchlas, M.T., the Vice Rector 1 of UAD.

The observation of the Day without Shadow was deliberately carried at UAD campus 4 building. This building supports observation because it has a 30 centimeter diameter hole that penetrates the 1st floor to the 10th floor.

From Muchlas's explanation, the hole was deliberately made so that it could be used to support observations and research related to light and shadow. "One of them is to observe the Day without Shadow. It is because this phenomenon is rare and important to be studied scientifically."

He added that this phenomenon could be used to determine the direction of Qibla through shadows. "UAD has great attention to natural phenomena. One of them is the Day without Shadow. We hope that such rare phenomenon can be described as scientific, so that it can provide insight for students and lecturers."

We have to keep in mind that when the sun changes its culmination in the city of Mecca or above the Ka'bah, Indonesian people can determine the direction of the Qibla by looking at the shadow of the body, buildings, or other objects that have a shadow. (ard)
