FKIP – The Physical Education Study Program (Prodi) of the Teacher Training and Education Faculty (FKIP) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta held a Guest Lecturer activity on Friday (1/4/2022). Themed “Research Challenges for Physics Learning Media Design and Its Use”, the activity was held online through the Zoom Meeting application.

Moderated by Fairusy Fitria Haryani, S.Pd., M.Sc. as a Lecturer of Physics Education Study Program, FKIP UNS, this Physics Education Guest Lecturer presented a speaker. The speaker was Setyo Budi Mulyono, S.Si. He is the Head of Physics Staff of CV PUDAK Scientific.

At the beginning of his presentation, he introduced CV PUDAK Scientific, starting from its location, division, and marketing, to the products produced. He explained that CV PUDAK Scientific is a manufacturer of educational aids and laboratory equipment to help improve the quality of education in Indonesia.

“CV PUDAK Scientific is a manufacturer of educational teaching aids and laboratory equipment that was established in 1978 and is headquartered in the city of Bandung. We have been running for more than 42 years and continue to be consistent in carrying out our vision and mission to help improve the quality of education in Indonesia by producing educational teaching aids that have the best quality and are in accordance with the applicable curriculum,” said Setyo.

Then, he explained the material entitled “Research Challenges of Physics Learning Media Design and Its Use”. In his presentation, he explained the process and results of research, the differences between scientific processes and engineering processes, the importance of interactive multimedia learning media, comparisons of the role of teachers with robots or technology, as well as pages that can be accessed to find examples of physics learning media design.

According to him, interactive multimedia learning media is important because students are only able to remember 10% of what the teacher says.

“Why do you need interactive multimedia? Because basically the absorption of matter through touch is 1.5%, through smell 3.5%, hearing 11%, and sight 83%. Therefore, as a teacher, do not only convey material orally but also provide material with interactive media. Basically, students are only able to remember 10% of what the teacher says,” explained Setyo.

At the end of his presentation, Setyo emphasized that learning media, such as robots or tools cannot replace the role of teachers because they do not have the ability to take initiative, adapt, and make judgments.

“Can robots or technological tools replace the role of the teacher? Certainly not. Computers are indeed faster, more precise, tireless, and accurate, but they don’t have the ability to take initiative, adapt, and make judgments,” concluded Setyo.
