(Baliekbis.com), Dean of FHIS Undiksha Prof. Dr. Sukadi said technology must be used appropriately so that it does not erode societal values.
“We use technology in communicating with other people. But don’t forget the values that are very important for building our character. “Don’t let us be completely controlled by technology,” stressed Prof. Sukadi at the International Conference, on Friday (8/11/2019) in Sanur.
The conference held by FHIS (Faculty of Law and Social Sciences) Undiksha presented three speakers, namely Prof. Dr. I Wayan Lasmawan, M.Pd., from Undiksha, Prof. Dr. Peter G. Waterworth from Deakin University, Australia and Prof. Dr. A. Mohaimin Ayus from UNNISA-Brunei Darussalam.
According to Prof. Sukadi, harmonious and humanistic relationships, are an absolute must to be implemented in society. Likewise with the values of Pancasila. “This humanist relationship must continue to be implemented, even though in communication there is the development of information technology. Through this seminar, social sciences can follow the revolution in information technology development, so that technology and social education can go hand in hand. “Don’t let us be colonized by technology,” he added.
Committee Chair Dr. Dewa Gede Sudika Mangku, S.H., LL.M., explained that this was the first conference attended by dozens of academics, both from Undiksha and other universities in Indonesia.
This conference was not only filled with material presentations from three keynote speakers, namely about harmonious leadership and community literacy from a social science perspective, social revolution, legal discourse, and journal writing but there were also parallel sessions.
Through this conference, it is hoped that participants’ understanding, especially regarding social sciences and law, will increase.
Resource person Prof. Lasmawan, who presented material on harmonious leadership and community literacy from a social science perspective, said that until now, social studies education was still considered a secondary subject. If you look closely, its role is very strategic for education, training, and accustoming students to be good and improve their country.
“We have been oriented towards how to make students understand and then speak the language, but have forgotten about their level, society, and how they design that society with overall values. “This is what is called harmony,” he said.
Through this conference, he hopes that there will be thoughts or input from participants who will be able to make social studies education a major and important space for educational development. “On this occasion, I would like to invite participants. How do we interpret education, to make every citizen understand and be aware of their existence and position in the state? “Especially when we can develop values and rely on harmonious leadership,” he concluded.
