The Innovation Trail of Physics Educators: From AR to LPDP Scholarships

After graduating, I began my career as a teacher, and currently teach at MAN Insan Cendekia, Central Bengkulu. Being an educator is a calling I pursue with all my heart. Drawing on the knowledge and values ​​I gained at my alma mater, I strive to provide innovative, relevant, and enjoyable physics learning for students.

My career journey continues with various opportunities and achievements. I was entrusted with developing Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media integrated with disaster mitigation, an innovation born from my drive to provide contextual learning. Furthermore, I was entrusted with the position of Head of a Laboratory at a madrasah, which further enriched my experience in educational management, leading me to win various national and international competitions.

On the other hand, I am also grateful to receive recognition for my dedication. At the Ministry of Religious Affairs' GTK Award, I was selected as one of the best GTK, an award that further motivates me to continue working. It didn't stop there, the culmination of this series of journeys was when I successfully won the 2023 LPDP scholarship, which paved the way for me to continue my studies to a higher level and strengthen my contribution to the field of education. I continued my master's education at the University of Bengkulu, and ultimately graduated with the title of Best Graduate of the Master of Science Education Class of 2025. All of these achievements are certainly inseparable from the strong foundation I built since studying Physics Education at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta.

For me, this study program is not just a place to study, but also a platform for character development, a fighting spirit, and a sense of service. I am proud to be part of the Physics Education family at UIN Sunan Kalijaga, and I hope this study program will continue to produce a generation of outstanding, inspiring educators who will bring real change to the nation.
