Cultural Anthropology Study Program Holds Research Design Workshop Ahead of PPPM 2024

The Cultural Anthropology Study Program organized a workshop to help PPPM 2024 participants design research proposals. Dr. Ida Bagus Gde Pujaastawa, M.A., was the resource person for the event, which took place on Wednesday in the Prijono Room of the Poerbatjaraka Building at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences in Denpasar, (7/2/2024).

Unlike previous years, this year's PPPM activity involved two universities and two different study programs. It was also attended by students from SMAN 1 Kintamani. The event had a total of 146 participants, including 129 anthropology study program students from the classes of 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Additionally, there were participants from outside the Anthropology study program. The Udayana archeology program has five students, Halu Oleo University has one anthropology student, SMAN 1 Kintaman has seven students, and there are five companions.

During the workshop, Dr. Ida Bagus Gde Pujaastawa, M.A., explained how to design a socio-cultural research proposal. He covered issues, topics, titles, backgrounds, problem formulation, and research methods. His information helped participants focus when they later went out into the field to Selulung village. This information is also useful for students submitting a thesis proposal. The proposal guidelines meet the standard guidelines of the Cultural Anthropology Study Program. Dr. Puja emphasized the importance of researchers asking questions and learning while at the research location to obtain more thorough and detailed results.

At the end of the workshop, the committee divided the 146 participants into 17 groups. These groups were then distributed to 17 hamlets in Selulung village, each with a predetermined theme.  This approach ensures that the data obtained is diverse and can be used by all residents of Selulung village. The first Pre PPPM 2024 workshop event ended in the afternoon. The participants were enthusiastic, and several received chocolate prizes from the committee (nhw).
