Seminaridel

Seminaridel is a term used in some Indonesian-language academic discourse to describe a seminar format that prioritizes ideation and collaborative synthesis over traditional paper presentations. The word blends seminar with ide, a root related to idea, signaling an emphasis on generating, refining, and debating ideas in a collective setting.

In practice, seminaridel sessions typically involve small groups, facilitators, structured prompts, and activities such as concept mapping, problem framing, and rapid prototyping of arguments or solutions. Participants contribute through discussion notes, sketches, or short micro-presentations, followed by plenary synthesis.

Origins are informal; the term does not have a single canonical definition and is not widely recognized in formal linguistics or education literature. It appears sporadically in student blogs, teaching guides, and some university course descriptions dating from the 2010s onward.

Criticism includes ambiguity in assessment, potential confusion with standard seminars, and challenges in ensuring rigorous evaluation. Proponents argue it can foster active learning, critical thinking, and collaboration.
