Developing Bilingual Pocket Book with QR Codes and Infographics Features for Information Technology Lecturers and Staff

SUMMARY

Abstract: The rapid growth of international students from tertiary level has reached nearly 3 million since 2007. This condition comes from short-term and long-term mobility. Students coming from developed countries, such as Australia, North America and Western Europe, tend to choose short-term program. Meanwhile, pupils coming from Asian-Pacific countries prefer a lengthy extensive study in pursuing their education. The needs and demands of international students coming to this nation must be in line with the development of the universities or institutions inside. Since 2018, State Polytechnic of Malang has opened international classes for foreigners. This institution provides 9 classes for 9 study programs from 7 various departments each year. Particularly in the Information Technology (IT) department, the foreign students are around 8 to 12% of the whole class population. Unfortunately, they do not receive a matriculation program and an Indonesian language course before getting the lectures. This can lead them to have a misinterpretation or misunderstanding while having communication with their Indonesian friends. At the present, administration staff and Information Technology lecturers also do not get a short education or additional media in communicating using English language. The emergence of the issue causes inadequate services to the foreign students. If this problem continues, there will be dissatisfaction with the college services and a decrease in quality assurance. Due to this condition, the researchers aim to develop a bilingual pocketbook for the IT lecturers and administration staff. Specifically, to make the pocketbook more informative, the researchers also include the usage of Quick Response (QR) code and infographics.Abstrak: Pertumbuhan pesat mahasiswa internasional dari tingkat tersier telah mencapai hampir tiga juta sejak tahun 2007. Kondisi ini berasal dari mobilitas jangka pendek dan jangka panjang. Mahasiswa yang berasal dari negara maju, seperti Australia, Amerika Utara, dan Eropa Barat cenderung memilih program jangka pendek. Sementara itu, siswa yang berasal dari negara-negara Asia-Pasifik lebih memilih studi ekstensif yang panjang dalam mengejar pendidikan mereka. Kebutuhan dan tuntutan mahasiswa internasional yang datang ke bangsa ini harus sejalan dengan perkembangan universitas atau institusi di dalamnya. Sejak tahun 2018, Politeknik Negeri Malang membuka kelas internasional untuk orang asing. Lembaga ini menyediakan 9 kelas untuk 9 program studi dari 7 jurusan yang berbeda setiap tahunnya. Khusus di jurusan Teknologi Informasi (TI), mahasiswa asing tersebut berjumlah sekitar 8 hingga 12% dari seluruh populasi kelas. Sayangnya, mereka tidak mendapatkan program matrikulasi dan kursus bahasa Indonesia sebelum mendapatkan kuliah. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan mereka salah tafsir atau salah paham saat berkomunikasi dengan teman-teman Indonesia mereka. Saat ini, staf administrasi dan dosen Teknologi Informasi juga tidak mendapatkan pendidikan singkat atau media tambahan dalam berkomunikasi menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Munculnya isu tersebut menyebabkan pelayanan terhadap mahasiswa asing kurang memadai. Jika masalah ini terus berlanjut, akan terjadi ketidakpuasan terhadap layanan perguruan tinggi dan penurunan penjaminan mutu. Melihat kondisi tersebut, peneliti bertujuan untuk mengembangkan buku saku bilingual untuk dosen TI dan staf administrasi. Secara khusus, agar buku saku lebih informatif, peneliti juga menyertakan penggunaan kode Quick Response (QR) dan infografis.
