Prof. Sumarwati is the 68th professor at FKIP UNS and the 265th professor at UNS. He was inaugurated as a Professor in the Field of Applied Linguistics with an inauguration speech entitled “Optimizing the Role of Language in Mathematics Literacy Education for Elementary School Students”.

In the speech, Prof. Sumarwati explained 5 materials. The five materials are problems of elementary school students’ mathematical literacy in Indonesia, the importance of language in mathematical literacy, word problem formulas according to the language competence of elementary school students, techniques for writing word problems, and methods for teaching word problems.

Head of the UNS Council of Professors, Prof. Drs. Suranto, M.Sc., Ph.D., warmly welcomed the four new UNS professors. He is also proud to see the increasing number of lecturers who have won the highest functional positions as professors. This is because achieving the title of professor is a challenging task.

“I am proud and very happy with the four inaugurated professors. Not only academically, but they are really forged and prepared mentally, academically, and psychologically,” said Prof. Suranto.

In line with this, the Chancellor of UNS, Prof. Dr. Jamal Wiwoho, S.H., M.Hum., said that giving the PTNBH mandate to UNS was the right decision. The target of fulfilling 10% of the number of professors as one of the mandates and performance contracts that UNS must realize as PTNBH is one step closer to being fulfilled.

At the end of the welcoming session, Prof. Jamal advised that the opportunity to synergize and collaborate with professors with global networks would be more open. With their qualified scientific capacity and large social role in society, the four UNS Professors who have just been inaugurated are believed to be able to dedicate their knowledge and stand side by side with their communities on the global stage.

“Hopefully, the title of professor that has been carried is a manifestation of his totality in serving and making a major, meaningful contribution to the benefit of society and the progress of the nation and state of Indonesia,” concluded Prof. Jamal.
