Field Assessment for Physics Education Accreditation
Banjarmasin – Accreditation Field Assessment for the Physics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Lambung Mangkurat University (FKIP ULM) was held on Thursday (11/01/2024). Field assessment is one of the stages in the accreditation process which aims to verify, validate and clarify the data and information written in the Self Evaluation Report (LED) as well as carry out field assessments in the Study Program.
This activity was carried out in the FKIP Senate Meeting Room presenting the Assessor Team, namely Prof. Dr. Wahono Widodo, M.Si from Surabaya State University and Prof. Dr. Jusman Mansyur, M.Sc., from Tadulako University. The presence of the Assessor Team was welcomed enthusiastically by the Rector of ULM Prof. Dr. Ahmad Alim Bachri, S.E., M.Si, Vice Rector 1 of ULM, Dean of FKIP, Chair of LPMPP ULM, Chair of the Physics Education Study Program FKIP ULM, lecturer and administrative staff within FKIP ULM.
This activity is certainly a form of ULM’s commitment, especially the Physics Education Study Program, in order to improve the quality of education provided through accreditation. In his speech, the Rector of ULM added that the accreditation process being carried out in today’s activity is a process to measure the extent of the weaknesses and strengths of a study program. “The accreditation process is a learning process, to see our strengths and weaknesses in order to develop. No Dean can drive (encourage) faculty progress without knowing the problems. It’s the same with universities. So start from problems, therefore be friends with problems.” he said.
One of the assessor team, Prof. Wahono Widodo from Unesa acknowledged ULM’s commitment, especially the Physics Education study program, in terms of ensuring the quality of education as evidenced by the completeness of the data it has. So according to him, this assessment will run smoothly without significant obstacles. “We enjoyed the process because almost all the documents were linked so we no longer had difficulty finding these documents, so perhaps the AL (field assessment) process was not difficult because all the documents were linked,” said Prof. Wahono.
