Abstract
In terms of the implementation of learning process, graduate program of Universitas Terbuka (UT) has similarities with other universities. For example, each graduate program student is required to take a number of course credits per semester that have been determined by each study program. The final stage of the study completion for graduate program students is thesis defence. Thesis defence is an academic requirement for a master candidate at the end of the program. Thesis defence is a direct communication activity between the examiner committee consisting of five individuals: chair and secretary of the committee from UT’s graduate program, expert examiner (external), first examiner (first supervisor) and second examiner (second supervisor) and the master candidate to defend his/her thesis. If the master candidate succeeds in maintaining his/her thesis in front of the examiner committee and is declared to be graduated, then he/she will be eligible to use academic title. This study was aimed at evaluating the implementation of thesis defence at UT’s graduate program. Descriptive evaluative method with qualitative approach was employed to conduct this study. The results show that according to the head of UT’s distance learning program unit (UPBJJ-UT), supervisors, expert examiner, and master candidates, the implementation of thesis defence at UT’s graduate program has been run effectively. However, the results also show that there are things that have not worked effectively, including the directions given to the candidate to revise his/her thesis (introduction, literature review,methods, results, conclusions, bibliography).
