CRITERIA 6: QUALITY MANAGEMENT: QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND
6.2 Quality Assurance System
Besides SPMI, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences also applies an External Quality Assurance System or Sistem Penjaminan Mutu Eksternal (SPME) through the external institution. The External Quality Assurance System is a systematic eligibility assessment activity and the higher education institution or university conducted by an independent institution or an international accreditation body outside the higher education institution or university recognized by the government, to supervise the higher education institution or university implementation on behalf of the community, as a form of public accountability. Through an accreditation process, the External Quality Assurance System is expected to recognize the quality culture that has been formed through the Internal Quality Assurance System. The External Quality Assurance System implementation at the Postgraduate Program of Jakarta State University is based on Law Number 12 of 2012 on Higher Education.
The National Accreditation Institution supervises university and study program accreditation in Indonesia. The accreditation is a quality label for a university or study program from the National Accreditation Institution of the Ministry of Education and Culture. In this accreditation, the university is evaluated and receives a positive assessment by the National Accreditation Institution. The accreditation is conducted every five years. In 2021, 5 study programs at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences had accredited "A, "and 9 study programs were accredited "B."
6.2.1. Academic Integrity
Quality assurance ensures the rule of academic integrity is implemented in academic life. Besides internal and external quality assurance systems, this unit also has to ensure that the student and academic staff comprehends academic integrity. Academic integrity means not cheating, plagiarizing or engaging in other forms of academic dishonesty. In academic integrity, plagiarism and cheating are unacceptable.
Furthermore, academic staff and students can find academic integrity regulation in the ethical codebook. The faculty also conducts an academic integrity survey to measure the student comprehension of academic integrity. Later on, academic integrity survey results enhance academic integrity quality at Universitas Negeri Jakarta. The academic integrity survey’s data was obtained from 822 respondents. The respondents are students at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, which consist 15%
bachelor of physics, 12% bachelor’s in chemistry, 6% bachelor’s in biology, 8% bachelor’s in mathematics, 4% bachelor’s in physical education, 8% bachelor’s in computer, 6% bachelor’s in statistics, 10% bachelor’s in chemistry education, 11% bachelor’s in biology, 9% bachelor’s in mathematics education, 2% master’s in physics education, 3% master’s in chemistry education, 3% master’s in biology education, and 3% master’s in mathematics education. The survey is available at the following address https://fmipa.unj.ac.id/mipabaru/form-integritas-akademik/.

Figure 6. 9 Academic integrity dishonesty
The survey indicated that the university should increase academic integrity information to the students because 11% of students heard and understood the meaning of academic integrity. 18% of students heard academic integrity, but they did not know the meaning, 46%
of students never heard academic integrity, but they know it is essential. 25% of students had never heard of academic integrity, and they did not know the meaning. The improvement is to set the academic integrity information on the faculty website and academic book and introduce it in the academic writing course.

The result brings recommendations and new implementation to improve the academic program. The improved program should meet the university’s Key Performance Indicators, such as the work readiness of graduate/alumni, off-campus students, off-campus lecturers, lecturer qualifications, research application, program partnerships, classroom learning, and international accreditation.
6.2.2.2 Tracer Study (Alumni and Stakeholders)
The purpose of the Tracer Study Survey is to gain information on the types and location of employment, the salary ranges, and the further study opportunities graduates may take up after completing their qualifications. The survey is conducted after the student graduate from the university program. The tracer study data was gained from the online survey at the university website https://upt-lbk.unj.ac.id/forms/site/index/tracer-study-2020?sid=9 for Faculty and Mathematics and Natural Science’s alumni. The respondents are 272 alumni, 14% male and 86% female. 83% of the alumni are working, 8% are studying, and 9% are unemployed. Additionally, 80% of the alumni get jobs less than six months in local/national/international companies, as shown in Figure 6.12.
