The event was attended by Practicum Coordinators and Practicum Assistants who have actively supported the smooth operation of the practicum process during the current semester.
During the event, each practicum assistant from various courses was allowed to present evaluations, experiences, and suggestions for improvement based on the practicum activities that had taken place. Additionally, practicum coordinators provided input and strategic guidance to ensure that practicum activities in the following semester would run more smoothly, effectively, and in line with students’ learning needs.
Students of the 2022 Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Study Program conducted an Agricultural Socio-Economic Assessment Practicum in Gunung Kidul Regency on November 1-4, 2024. The activity aims to provide students with information on the socio-economic conditions of farmers in Gunungkidul Regency through surveys and direct interviews with farmers.
The Agricultural Socio-Economic Assessment Practicum has a series of activities that allow students to have reliable academic abilities. After conducting field practicums by interviewing farmers, students then write the results of their studies in the form of a scientific report containing the general conditions of the area, characteristics of respondents, analysis of social conditions, analysis of costs, income, profits of farming businesses and the level of farmer welfare. This is expected to provide students with an overview of the portrait of farming businesses in Gunung Kidul Regency and the conditions of farmers’ households. To facilitate the implementation of the practicum, students are accompanied by a practicum assistant and a supervisor. The series of practicum activities are closed with an exam with a lecturer in the form of a presentation of the results of the analysis.
