In an era where education is constantly evolving, the University of Malang is proud to announce a pioneering research initiative that aims to explore the effect of the flipped classroom model on EFL students’ writing ability and their perceptions of learning autonomy. This innovative approach to teaching and learning is set to transform the way English is taught, making it more engaging, effective, and student-centered.
This research team is led by Prof. Drs. Bambang Yudi Cahyono, M.Pd, M.A., Ph.D., two reseachers namely Fransisca Maria Ivone, S.Pd., M.A., Ph.D and Dr. Utari Praba Astuti, M.A., a student from our university namely Titik Lina Widyaningsih, and an assistant Nadia Galis Cahya Anugrah. We are honored to collaborate with Jitpanat Suwanthep, Ph.D., a renowned foreign researcher from Suranaree University of Technology, in this research. His expertise and insights will significantly contribute to the success of this project, fostering a spirit of international cooperation and academic excellence.
The flipped classroom model is a revolutionary teaching approach that reverses traditional learning. Instead of lecturing in class and assigning homework, teachers assign instructional content for students to engage with outside of class, freeing up classroom time for interactive exercises and collaborative projects. This approach not only enhances students’ writing ability but also fosters a sense of autonomy and responsibility in their learning.
The objectives of this research are multifaceted, including to investigate the effect of the flipped classroom model on EFL students’ writing ability; to explore students’ perceptions of learning autonomy when engaged in a flipped classroom environment; and to provide actionable insights and strategies for educators looking to implement this teaching approach.
The expected results of this research are transformative. The insights gained from this study will not only enhance our understanding of the flipped classroom model but also provide a blueprint for educators looking to make their teaching more engaging and student-centered. The results will be shared through various channels, including conferences, workshops, and publications.
This research initiative aligns perfectly with the global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of “Quality Education.” By exploring innovative teaching approaches like the flipped classroom model, we are taking significant steps towards ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
The compatibility of this program with the SDG of Quality Education is both inspiring and essential. In today’s fast-paced world, education must be adaptable, engaging, and student-centered. The flipped classroom model represents a commitment to fostering a culture of innovation, autonomy, and lifelong learning. By tailoring the educational experience to individual needs, we are ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
In conclusion, our collaboration with Suranaree University of Technology and the focus on the flipped classroom model represents a visionary step forward in our commitment to excellence in education. Together, we are flipping the classroom, enhancing writing ability, and fostering autonomy, ensuring that education is not just a privilege but a right that is accessible to all.

Manajemen rekod atau kearsipan merupakan salah satu peminatan atau bidang konsentrasi yang ada di program studi S1 Ilmu Perpustakaan, bersama dengan literasi sekolah dan manajemen informasi. Masifnya perkembangan dunia kearsipan dan terbatasnya literatur serta ahli yang membahas tentangnya mendorong program studi S1 Ilmu Perpustakaan Universitas Negeri Malang mengadakan loka karya dengan mengundang ahli sekaligus praktisi di bidang tersebut.
Loka karya ini bertajuk Workshop dan Focused Group Discussion Kearsipan S1 Ilmu Perpustakaan 2023 dengan fokus pada dasar-dasar kearsipan serta penguatan penelitian mahasiswa. Kegiatan ini diselenggarakan pada hari Kamis, 13 Juli 2023 dan bertempat di Aula AVA, Gedung D14 Fakultas Sastra Universitas Negeri Malang.
Kegiatan dibuka dengan menyanyikan lagu kebangsaan Indonesia Raya yang dilanjutkan dengan pemberian cinderamata dan sambutan dari Dekan Fakultas Sastra, Dr. Moch. Syahri, S.Sos, M.Si., serta Koordinator Progam Studi Ilmu Perpustakaan, Moh. Safii , S.Kom, M.Hum. Dalam sambutannya, keduanya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para mahasiswa yang telah menyempatkan waktunya dan berharap pertemuan ini dapat memberikan bekal mengenai arsip yang diperoleh langsung dari pengalaman ahlinya dan bisa dijadikan referensi untuk magang maupun penelitian.
Acara yang diikuti mahasiswa dari angkatan 2019,2020, dan 2021 ini pun dilanjutkan dengan acara utama berupa paparan materi oleh Bapak Niko Grataridarga, S.Hum., M.Hum., yang merupakan dosen progam studi Manajemen Rekod dan Arsip di Vokasi Universitas Indonesia. Sesi ini dipandu oleh Ibu Amalia Nurma Dewi, M.Hum.
Dalam paparannya, Bapak Niko yang juga aktif di Ikatan Arsiparis Indonesia menyampaikan banyak materi seputar kearsipan, antara lain pengertian, nilai guna, sejarah, penilaian, jenis, karakteristik, model, dan pengelolaan arsip.

Pengelolaan arsip yang baik akan memudahkan sebuah lembaga atau instansi dalam membuat keputusan atau sekadar menilik sejarah. Banyaknya ilmu yang beririsan juga menjadikan kearsipan sebagai ilmu multidisiplin yang dapat diteliti dari berbagai aspek.
