Developing "Mini Office" as a Learning Media in the State College of Accountancy: Mandatory or Optional?

Abstrak / Ringkasan

The competencies of graduates of STAN (SekolahTinggiAkuntansi Negara, State College of Accountancy)
through its Official-Service Education (PendidikanKedinasan) program are expected to meet the qualifications
to be employees for the Ministry of Finance as the equivalent to the civil servants as the executors. The cognitive
competencies can successfully be achieved through the learning process, while the psychomotor competencies
are still limited to be met only by means of computer laboratory. As a place for vocational education activities,
STAN will need not only rooms for the classical learning processes, but more importantly it also needs a replica
of work environment designed to be similar to the workplace where they will be working after completing
education.
Program of education in STAN provides ready-to-work graduates equal to educational levels of Diploma I and
Diploma III. Therefore, in order to provide ready-to-work graduates, the curriculum should be designed for the
fulfillment of knowledge as well as the fulfillment of skills. The fulfillment of skills for the graduates as
prospective employees can be set by working at an environment resembling a replica of servicing office in the
form of “Mini Office”. This Mini Office is developed in accordance with the educational specialization held in
STAN, and in accordance with the latest condition of the users, i.e. the servicing office unit in the Ministry of
Finance.
Mini Office is also a part of the media learning in shaping reliable workers in implementing the tasks and
functions in the field of services to public. The comprehensive and solid competencies can be expected to be
obtained faster by means of the Mini Office, before the graduates are to enter the workforce. It is because the
students have already gained the experience through the replica of work environment during their learning
process, not only when they conducted the field practice (PKL). The Mini Office becomes something obligatory
when STAN is characteristically meant to have vocational education, but it can also be something “optional” if
such characteristic is not entirely attached to the organization structure of STAN. Therefore, Mini Office is left
to be a choice of “obligatory” or “optional” to STAN.
