Not Just Theory! High School Students “Take Over” UNDIKNAS Psychology Class—Here’s What Went Down!

DENPASAR – What happens when high school students join advanced university classes? The National Education University (UNDIKNAS) has just made a breakthrough through a unique collaboration with Dyatmika School Bali. The campus atmosphere suddenly changed as the students delved directly into the academic environment to thoroughly examine the mysteries of human behaviour.

Epic Collaboration: From Theory to Reality

Not an ordinary visit, the activity conducted on 31 March 2026 was a tangible implementation of the formal cooperation between the two institutions. On this occasion, the students did not merely sit still, but actively participated as attendees in the Abnormal Psychology course alongside university students. The distinction between students and university students seemed to disappear as they together analysed the fundamental concepts of abnormal psychology to understand the reality behind behaviours considered unusual. The learning process was also delivered in depth through interactive case studies, discussion sessions and Q&A activities that challenged participants to think critically like professional psychologists. Moreover, they were introduced to various psychological disorders through a scientific approach to understand mental health dynamics in a more practical and comprehensive manner.

Sharing Session: Bridging Theory and Practice

The surprises did not end there. This session also featured an exclusive sharing session from the psychology teacher of Dyatmika Bali School for UNDIKNAS students. The teacher shared practical experiences on approaches to conveying mental health issues to students, as well as the real challenges faced in everyday educational practice at an international school. This event was officially endorsed by Putu Riana Artyanti Putri, S.Psi., M.Psi., Psychologist as Head of the Psychology Study Program at UNDIKNAS, and Cok Agung Anre Juniana, S.Pd., M.Pd. as Head of SPK Accreditation at Dyatmika Bali School.

Unlimited Synergy for the Future of Education

This collaboration is expected to strengthen sustainable academic cooperation between UNDIKNAS and Dyatmika Bali School. Through the integration of this learning experience, it is hoped that a generation will emerge that is not only academically intelligent but also possesses a deep sensitivity to psychological issues in society. This implementation serves as tangible evidence that cross-institutional synergy is the key to creating a collaborative, reflective, and practical learning environment for the future of education in Indonesia.
