THE IMPACT OF PERTUKARAN MAHASISWA MERDEKA (PMM) PROGRAM ON INBOUND PMM STUDENTS OF ENGLISH AT UNIVERSITAS INSAN BUDI UTOMO MALANG
The Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology's Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy aims at enhancing student competence and preparing them for future challenges. As a key component of MBKM, the Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka (PMM) program facilitates student exchanges between universities within Indonesia. This study examines the impact of the PMM program on inbound students of the English at Universitas Insan Budi Utomo Malang (UIBU). The objectives are twofold: to find out the motivations behind these students' participation in the PMM program at UIBU and the academic and social impacts of their involvement. Utilizing a case study design in the qualitative research method, interviews were conducted with 20 inbound PMM students. Data analysis employed the interactive analysis model by Miles and Huberman, incorporating coding techniques to identify themes and patterns. The findings reveal that students are motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic motivations include the desire for new learning experiences, building relationships, and exploring diverse cultures. Extrinsic motivations encompass opportunities such as free travel and peer influence. Specific reasons for choosing UIBU also reflect a blend of intrinsic interests, such as interesting modules, and extrinsic considerations, such as course matching, high acceptance quotas, tourist attractions, and peer recommendations. The academic impacts of PMM program are enhancing students' academic skills, enriching their academic experiences, and presenting certain academic challenges. The social impact of PMM program are improving communication and collaboration skills, fostering cultural understanding, and expanding social networks and connections. These results underscore the comprehensive benefits of the PMM program in promoting both educational and personal growth.
