UNS — Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta held a hybrid simulation in Room 2.203 Building 1, Friday (3/9/2021). The Undergraduate Program in Management students participated in the simulation process.
The hybrid learning simulation only invited several students into the classroom, while other students participated online. The students are in their first semester and participated in the Introduction to Macroeconomics delivered by Prof. Izza Mafruhah.
“Students looked high spirited and enthusiastic in participating in the hybrid learning for two hours, both those in the classroom and those from home,” Prof. Izza Mafruhah said.
After delivering the materials on Introduction to Macroeconomics, she stated that the students who participated in the simulation are from Solo and the surrounding regions and have been vaccinated against Covid-19. Prof. Izza Mafruhah stated that the hybrid learning simulated by FEB UNS brings a positive impact because she could explain the material that is usually hard to explain through zoom better and easier.
“This (hybrid learning) has a plus; teachers could explain in detail, especially for courses with computation like the one I teach, if using Zoom Cloud Meeting, it is still quite difficult,” she said.
Further, she said that the equipment and technical readiness need special attention during the hybrid learning process. Prof. Izza Mafruhah wanted that the material heard by students who attended the offline session is the same and as clear as those received by students joining through the online platform. “Similarly, the class discussion could run smoothly,” Prof. Izza Mafruhah added.
Andreansyah Saputra, a student who participated in the hybrid learning simulation, stated that this method is excellent to be implemented because students could understand the materials better.
“As students, we are comfortable participating in the learning process while maintaining the campus and classroom health protocols,” Andreansyah Saputra said.
The hybrid learning simulation conducted in FEB UNS is a quick step to welcome the offline learning (PTM) held by UNS. The PTM implementation is confirmed by the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho, after receiving permission from the Surakarta Major, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
Even Gibran Rakabuming Raka visited UNS twice to ensure UNS readiness to hold PTM. He talked to the Rector, Prof. Jamal, on Friday (27/8/2021) and Thursday (2/9/2021). Humas UNS
