LunchTalk #33 on Educational Access for Indonesian Migrant Workers
LunchTalk #33 on Educational Access for Indonesian Migrant Workers
September 26, 2024
Contributor: Supriyono | Editor: Dadi Darmadi
The Faculty of Education at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) held its 33rd LunchTalk on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, featuring M. Arif Rahman Hakim, PhD, a scholar in residence from UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu, with the topic “The Urgency of Educational Access for Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia: Policy Issues and Proposed Solutions.”
Dr. Hakim began by outlining the educational background of Indonesian migrant workers, noting that the majority—about 78%—are junior high school graduates or lower, with half having only completed elementary school. These workers often migrate due to limited job opportunities in their home villages and the prospect of earning higher wages abroad, despite most earning an average salary of MYR 2,000, far below the MYR 5,000 threshold required to bring their families to Malaysia.
During the talk, Dr. Hakim highlighted the educational programs that have been implemented for these workers. These include formal schools established by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Indonesian Embassy, which operate three schools across Malaysia. Universitas Terbuka, in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy, has also developed undergraduate programs that serve over 1,300 students.
Furthermore, 17 institutions under the Sanggar Bimbingan Belajar (community learning centers) initiative provide alternative education through Package A and B programs, which are equivalent to elementary and junior high school education. Additionally, short competency courses have been introduced through collaboration between Indonesian community organizations and educational institutions in Malaysia.
The talk also touched on the role of Indonesian academics and researchers in enhancing access to education. “Scholars have been involved in sending students as volunteer teachers, developing educational modules, and conducting literacy workshops in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy and community organizations,” Dr. Hakim emphasized.
The LunchTalk series is a flagship initiative of the UIII Faculty of Education, designed to provide an informal yet intellectually stimulating platform for scholars, practitioners, and students to engage in discussions on critical issues in education. Currently a research fellow at the Faculty, Dr. Hakim contributes his expertise in migrant education, bringing global perspectives to the local context while continuing his research on policy interventions for educational advancement.

UIII is taking a significant step toward establishing its Ethics Committee, a move initiated by the Directorate of Research and Strategic Cooperation, aimed at enhancing its research standards on the international stage.
As part of this initiative, UIII invited Dr. Augustina Situmorang, a member of the Ethics Committee at the National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia (BRIN), to advise on the core principles of ethical clearance for research in the social sciences and humanities. The workshop took place on September 19-20, 2024 at the Mercure Hotel, South Jakarta.
UIII Rector Prof. Jamhari highlighted the Ethics Committee as a vital step in aligning UIII's research with international standards, reaffirming the university’s commitment to becoming a center of excellence in research and innovation.
At the event, Dr. Situmorang explained that ethical clearance serves as a vital tool to ensure that research is conducted with integrity and accountability. “Ethically sound research must be respectful, protective, and fair to its subjects, adhering to the norms of the society in which the research is conducted,” she said.
She emphasized that ethical clearance is designed to safeguard research subjects from physical harm, psychological stress or regret, social stigma or ostracization, and legal repercussions resulting from their participation in research. She, further, outlined three key principles of research ethics when working with human subjects, namely respect for persons and communities, beneficence, and justice.
On the respect principle, she emphasized the need to honor autonomy, uphold individual and community dignity, ensure protection for participants, and respect local cultures and traditions. Regarding beneficence, she underscored that researchers must aim to maximize benefits while minimizing potential harm. She also highlighted the importance of evaluating how research outcomes might affect participants.
Finally, on the principle of justice, Dr. Situmorang pointed out that researchers must maintain a fair balance between the burdens and benefits of research participation. She stressed that participants should be treated with consideration for their individual backgrounds and conditions, with special protections in place for vulnerable subjects.
The establishment of the Ethics Committee at UIII aims to ensure that all research conducted at the university adheres to rigorous ethical standards, fostering a culture of integrity and responsibility. By implementing these practices, UIII aims to elevate the quality and credibility of its research outputs, further strengthening its global reputation and supporting its mission to become a leading hub for ethical and innovative research.

One of the highlights during the UIII Convocation Week 2024 was a thought-provoking presentation by M. Rifqi Muna, PhD, Head of the Academic Senate, on “Student Code of Conduct at UIII.” Moderated by M. Yazid, Lc, Head of the International Office and Student Affairs, the session provided a deep dive into the ethical framework that guides the UIII community.
Dr. Muna began by redefining the role of students at UIII, emphasizing that they are not just learners but colleagues. This distinction is crucial in a graduate institution where the exchange of ideas and critical dialogue with lecturers is encouraged. It sets the tone for a collaborative academic environment where intellectual growth is a shared journey.
Central to Dr. Muna’s message was the importance of academic integrity and respect. He passionately spoke about the values of honesty, trust, fairness, and respect, which are the bedrock of UIII’s academic ethos. Academic integrity, he noted, is not just a personal commitment but a collective responsibility that upholds the credibility of the entire institution. He detailed the various forms of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, and stressed the need for a vigilant and proactive stance against such practices.
UIII’s diverse community was another highlight of the session. Dr. Muna celebrated the rich backgrounds, races, ages, and religions that make up the UIII family. He urged students to embrace this diversity and engage in mindful cross-cultural understanding. This inclusivity, he argued, enriches the academic experience and fosters a more holistic learning environment.
Respecting the rights of others and acting responsibly were key themes in the discussion on general conduct. Dr. Muna emphasized that being part of UIII means committing to civility in all interactions. This includes adhering to laws both on and off campus and maintaining respectful behavior in all spaces, including digital platforms. The message was clear: UIII students are ambassadors of the university’s values, wherever they are.
The session also addressed other critical policies. UIII’s stance against discrimination based on political affiliation was unequivocal. Additionally, the university’s commitment to a safe learning environment was also underscored, with zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, including harassment and assault. Dr. Muna encouraged students to actively engage with their peers, fostering a supportive and connected community rather than isolating themselves.
Dr. Muna’s insights provided a clear vision of what it means to be a part of the UIII community. His words resonated with the audience, inspiring them to uphold the highest standards of integrity and respect in their academic and personal lives. This session was a powerful reminder of the values that define UIII and the collective responsibility of its members to live by them.
Learn Math in a Fun Way with Dr. Destina Wahyu Winarti
Learn Math in a Fun Way with Dr. Destina Wahyu Winarti

If you are in the first category, that is great for you. But if you are in the latter, worry not! You are not alone. For many students, math was a challenge that felt insurmountable. It is often seen as distant and difficult, a public enemy that turned once-curious minds into frustrated ones.
But what if it did not have to be this way? What if math could be transformed into a subject that is enjoyable to learn? This is the question that mathematic scholar Dr. Destina Wahyu Winarti, from the UIII Faculty of Education, strives to address. In her latest published journal article, Dr. Destina found a way to make math more accessible, more relatable, and—dare we say it—more enjoyable.
“So, this is an experimental study that assessed the effectiveness of a spatialized mathematics intervention on the mathematical performance and spatial visualization skills of students from an underprivileged Indonesian community,” Dr. Destina said.
The main concept of the study is the so-called “spatial reasoning,” which is “the ability to visualize and manipulate objects in space.” This is a skill we all use in everyday life, such as when we pack a suitcase, arrange furniture, or even navigate a crowded room. In her study, Dr. Destina asked, could this everyday skill be the key to unlocking a better understanding of math?
To find out, she teamed up with Assoc. Prof. Sitti Maesuri Patahuddin and Prof. Tom Lowrie from the University of Canberra, Australia. Together, they conducted a study with 407 eighth-grade students, dividing them into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the spatial mathematics intervention, while the control group continued with the standard mathematics curriculum.
For the experimental group, Dr. Destina and the team introduced a new kind of math lesson, one that incorporated spatial reasoning into the curriculum. Instead of just memorizing formulas, students were encouraged to visualize problems, think about shapes, and explore solutions in a more hands-on, intuitive way.
“The pre-test and post-test indicated that the students receiving spatial intervention exhibited significant improvements in spatial visualization skills and mathematics performance compared to those who did not,” Dr. Destina explained. “This suggests that one of the possible solutions to improve students’ mathematics performance and their spatial ability is through spatializing the mathematics curriculum.”
Dr. Destina’s findings in innovating mathematics education have the potential to improve student's math performance, especially for those who have traditionally struggled with the subject. By integrating spatial reasoning into the curriculum, she has shown that math can be more than just numbers and equations—it can be a dynamic and engaging subject that taps into students’ natural abilities and interests.
Dr. Destina’s study aligns with the values that UIII upholds in conducting breakthrough research that can generate innovations and make impacts on societies, not only in the education aspect but also in other fields such as economics and business, politics and social sciences, and Islam and Muslim societies.
