Profile of “UPGRIS” Character Values in Campus Culture Development
Journal Title: Education Science and Management - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aims to explore and analyze the profile of UPGRIS character values within the context of campus culture development. A mixed-method approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, was employed. The quantitative analysis focused on identifying which UPGRIS character values—Unggul (excellence), Peduli (caring), Gigih (persistence), Religius (religion), Integritas (integrity), Sinergis (synergy)—are most prominent among students, utilizing percentage analysis. The qualitative approach involved a more in-depth examination through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to elucidate the meaning and manifestation of these values. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 2,554 students from seven faculties. Data were collected through psychological scales and FGDs. The findings indicate that the most pronounced character value, based on quantitative data, is religion, while excellence ranks the lowest. Notably, persistence is the highest-rated value in first-year students, whereas character traits such as excellence, caring, and integrity peak in the fifth semester. Conversely, it was observed that nearly all character values, including excellence, caring, persistence, religion and integrity, show a significant decline by the seventh semester. These results provide crucial insights into the fluctuations in character development across different stages of academic progression, offering implications for future educational and institutional interventions.
