Philosophy of Education

Educational Philosophy

The philosophy of education is the foundation of thought and principles that underpin the delivery of education, with the primary goal of shaping well-rounded individuals of good character in accordance with noble values. This philosophy of education determines how the curriculum is structured, how the teaching and learning process is carried out, and the role educators play in producing outstanding graduates who possess integrity and are able to adapt to the changing times. 

The program’s educational philosophy aligns with the educational philosophy of Udayana University (Unud), as articulated in its motto: “Taki-Takining Sewaka Guna Widya,” which means that those who seek knowledge must pursue both knowledge and virtue. Another interpretation of this philosophy also means wholeheartedly dedicating oneself to virtue and knowledge (https://kc.unud.ac.id/view/peraturan-menteri-riset-teknologi-dan-pendidikan-tinggi-nomor-34-tahun-2017-tentang-statuta-universitas-udayana). This philosophy is reinforced by Rector’s Decree No. 268/UN14/HK/2021 on the Educational Philosophy of Udayana University.

The inclusion of the terms “virtue” and “knowledge” is intended to ensure that education can encourage the entire academic community to develop into high-quality individuals educated people who are devout toward God Almighty, possess noble character, are knowledgeable, competent, creative, independent, democratic, and responsible.
