Newtonic and Asics Bring UNESA to the Top 4 Nationally in LIDM 2023
Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA—The Newtonic and Asics teams, representing UNESA, each won 2nd place and honorable mention in the 2023 Student Digital Innovation Competition (LIDM) by the Indonesian Talent Development Center, Puspresnas, at UPI Bandung from July 4-6, 2023. These two victories brought the UNESA team into the top four nationally.
LIDM is a talent competition organized by the Indonesian Talent Development Center, Puspresnas, Kemendikbudristek. This year, LIDM featured five divisions: digital educational technology innovation, digital educational learning innovation, digital educational video, digital educational poster, and digital microteaching.
UNESA sent two teams in two competition divisions, both of which made it to the winners' list. The Newtonic team won 2nd place in the microteaching division. This team consisted of Iqbal Ainur Rizki (Physics Education), Fara Raditya Mirsa (Physics Education), Dhela Rochmatul Maghfiroh (Physics Education), and Cahyo Febri Wijaksono (Educational Management). They presented a project titled 'Physics Learning Innovation Assisted by Virtual Reality and Virtual Laboratory on Motion Dynamics Material.'
Meanwhile, the Asics team, consisting of Iqbal Ainur Rizki (Physics Education), Hanandita Veda Saphira (Physics Education), Aulia Dwi Saputri (Information Systems), and Riski Ramadani (Physics), received an honorable mention. They presented a project titled 'Cooperative Learning Assisted by AR-Integrated Game Applications' in the digital educational learning innovation division.
Iqbal Ainur Rizki, who strengthened both teams, said that microteaching and innovation in learning media are things that education students have already learned in class. "We got the material in class. We know how to prepare lesson plans, choose suitable methods and media. It would be a shame if that knowledge is not utilized and further developed through competitions," he said.
With that experience, they developed microteaching using virtual reality and virtual laboratories, which are now essential for learning. Their learning project includes a game application that makes learning physics enjoyable for students. This is important as proof that learning physics is not difficult but rather easy and fun.
Dra. Suliyanah, M.Si., expressed her pride in the achievements of both teams she mentored. According to her, the work and presentation of the Newtonic and Asics teams were very convincing and solid regarding learning innovation using digital technology. This can improve students' learning outcomes, critical thinking, and meaningful learning.
Although they made it to the winners' list, she and her team will continue to learn and improve students' abilities for the next LIDM, aiming to be in the top three nationally. "Hopefully, this can motivate and inspire other students to continue contributing and participating in this talent event, especially in next year's LIDM. I would like to thank the institution that facilitated this activity, appreciation to the team, and everyone who supported us," she concluded.
