        "content": "<p>Semarang (ANTARA) \u2013 Muhammad Sabbardi, an academic at Universitas\nMuhammadiyah Semarang (Unimus), has developed an innovative digital\nIndonesian-language textbook based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and\ndesigned to promote the prevention of violence in higher education\ninstitutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cViolence in higher education remains an issue requiring serious\nattention,\u201d Sabbardi said in a statement in Semarang on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He said violence took forms beyond physical and sexual abuse,\nincluding bullying, intimidation, discrimination and verbal abuse, which\ncould occur in academic interactions and students\u2019 social lives.<\/p>\n<p>Regulations and case-handling mechanisms are therefore an important\npart of efforts to protect members of the campus community, he said.\nHowever, preventing violence also requires an educational approach that\ncan build students\u2019 understanding, awareness and sense of responsibility\non an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to prevent violence at universities do not have to rely\nsolely on seminars, information sessions or dedicated campaigns.\nEducation about violence, including sexual violence, can also be\nintegrated into Indonesian-language courses, which are compulsory for\nstudents, he added.<\/p>\n<p>That idea prompted him to develop BukuAjar.ID, a digital textbook\ncombining academic literacy skills, the OBE approach and material on the\nPrevention and Handling of Violence (PPK) in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>The doctoral examination is scheduled to include Minister of Primary\nand Secondary Education Prof.\u00a0Dr Abdul Mu\u2019ti as an external\nexaminer.<\/p>\n<p>In his research, Sabbardi argues that Indonesian-language learning is\nstrategically placed to support this goal. Language is not merely a\nmeans of communication; it is also connected to how people think, their\nsocial relationships and their attitudes towards others.<\/p>\n<p>Language can foster communication that respects human dignity, but it\ncan also be used to demean, discriminate against or harass people, and\nto normalise violence.<\/p>\n<p>BukuAjar.ID invites students to learn Indonesian through material\nrelated to real-life experiences in higher education. This includes text\nanalysis, examinations of news coverage of sexual violence and the\nidentification of discriminatory language.<\/p>\n<p>The textbook has been tested with 191 students at six universities in\nCentral Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta, including Universitas\nMuhammadiyah Semarang (Unimus), Universitas Diponegoro (Undip) in\nSemarang and Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) in Yogyakarta.<\/p>",
