Abstract |
These days, humanity education is an important part of education, even at the university level. However, most of the research regarding humanity education at the university level only discusses the state and the effects of humanity education. There is almost no research regarding students’ awareness and attitudes towards humanity education or the needs of humanity education. This research aims to find the general and attitudes toward humanity education in university freshmen and also see what they have experienced with it.
This survey research is done on freshmen at A University with questionnaire about the students past experiences of humanity education in middle-and-high schools, and the awareness about the needs of humanity education. The responses were analyzed using SPSS 21.0, and the results showed that the majority of respondents that received humanity education in middle and high school indicated that it had helped them with their lives. Also 80% of the respondents agreed that humanity education should be a part of the university curriculum.
