“Related to the prospects for FKIP students according to the profile of the study programs in FKIP, the main prospect is to become educators. So, graduates from FKIP’s S-1 are expected to become teachers and graduates from FKIP’s S-2 and S-3 are expected to become lecturers. However, there are other prospects according to the characteristics of each study program. Some become entrepreneurs in education, work in companies, work in the arts and culture, and e.t.c.,” explained Dr. Mardiyana.

Next, he answered questions about what subjects FKIP UNS students would study. He explained that FKIP students not only learn knowledge that is characteristic of the study program but also how to teach and educate students.

“FKIP student certainly learns how to become professional teacher candidate so that the FKIP is equipped with courses that prepare graduates to teach well and professionally. FKIP students will be equipped and prepared with 4 competencies, namely pedagogic, personality, social, and professional competencies. Besides having to learn the sciences that are characteristic of their study program, FKIP students also have to learn how to teach and educate students,” explained Dr. Mardiyana.

“As a prospective teacher, you must be interested in becoming a teacher and be motivated to devote yourself to the world of education to share knowledge. Therefore, it is hoped that those who become FKIP students will be interested and motivated to become teachers from the start. However, this can be learned while studying at FKIP. Usually, after studying the sciences of teacher education and being close to students, passion arises,” said Dr. Mardiyana.

At the end of the talk show session, Dr. Mardiyana asked why FKIP UNS is worthy of being an option to continue undergraduate studies.
