The Science Education Study Program, on Friday, January 23 2015 invited all students from the 2009 to 2012 class to discuss, monitor and evaluate thesis writing. The event, which was held in the PPs UNY New Building Hall, was hosted by the head of the study program, Dr. Insih Wilujeng, M.Pd. and attended by 22 students. The results of discussions, monitoring and evaluation found problems that were broadly the same, namely that the Class of 2010 and 2011 had not completed their thesis writing because the students were busy, most of whom were teachers.

Assignments at school almost take up their time, so they don't have time to write a thesis. The advice from the study program is to immediately return to your supervisor and continue preparing instruments and analyzing data (some have already taken research data). Another problem faced was that the research schedule that had been agreed with the school had to be cancelled, because the product development process and/or instrument validation had not been completed, so the school had to teach the material.

The Study Program also suggests that students can reschedule research and advise students not to allocate research time too short and products and instruments must be prepared long before the agreed schedule. There are 29% of students from the 2012 class of the PIPA Study Program who have not graduated. (Insih W.)
