Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD

Did you know, nestled beside SMAN 3 Teladan Setiabudi and across from the Setiabudi Police Station, lies a campus with a unique dress code? This is Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD, located on Jalan Setiabudi I, Jakarta Selatan. It’s a place where future elementary school teachers are molded, a world away from UNJ’s main campus in Rawamangun. Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD isn’t just about academics. It’s about shaping character, instilling values, and preparing students for the real world of teaching. Established as a bachelor’s program in 2006, it has a rich history, previously operating as a diploma program. The dress code here is a testament to the campus’s focus on decorum. Mondays are for white shirts and black pants or skirts. Tuesdays offer the freedom of batik with any color bottoms. Wednesdays, everyone dons the Pramuka uniform. Thursdays see students in PGSD batik. Fridays are dedicated to Muslim attire or respectful non-Muslim clothing. This emphasis on appearance prepares students to be role models for their future pupils. The culture of 5S – Salam (greeting), Sapa (addressing), Senyum (smiling), Sopan (politeness), and Santun (respect) – permeates every corner of Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD. From students and lecturers to staff, everyone embodies these values. Don’t be surprised to be greeted with warmth and respect, even by the security guards. Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD boasts facilities comparable to those in Rawamangun. A spacious third-floor auditorium accommodates up to 120 people for seminars, training, or meetings. Air-conditioned classrooms, each equipped with a computer, ensure a comfortable learning environment. Wi-Fi access on every floor facilitates research and discussions. Unlike the main campus, where buildings might be locked until 7:30 a.m., classes here are accessible from 7:00 a.m. The Musholla Al-Fatah, affectionately known as MAF, serves as a prayer space for students, lecturers, and even the local community. It’s also a venue for religious studies and a quiet refuge between classes. Behind the campus, the Kaimana dormitory houses students from eastern Indonesia, a testament to a partnership between the Kaimana government and PGSD. Adjacent to the campus, the PGSD Laboratory Elementary School provides a practical training ground. Students even utilize the school’s field for futsal in the afternoons. The campus has a history of achievement. From faculty-level victories in basketball and futsal to national and international accomplishments, Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD students shine. Palupi Mutiasih’s recognition as a Mawapres (Outstanding Student) and her contribution to the book “99 Pembidik Mimpi,” along with Dewi Yuliawati’s gold medal in rowing at the PON and participation in the Rio Olympics, are but a few examples. Universitas Negeri Jakarta Kampus PGSD is more than just a campus; it’s a community, a training ground, and a testament to the power of education.
