Especially from 2018 to 2019, many PGSD lecturers were qualified for the research or community service schemes at the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education as the chairman and members. Some of the lecturers are Dr. Suyatno, M. Pd. I, Meita Fitrianawati, M. Pd, Mukti Sintawati, S. Si, M. Pd, Fery Setyaningrum, M. Pd, Heni Siswantari, S. Pd, MA, Vera Yuli Erviana, M.

Several types of research schemes that the lecturers at PGSD are qualified for include Higher Education Collaboration Research (PKPT), Higher Education Leading Applied Research (PTUPT), and Higher Education Leading Basic Research (PDUPT) schemes. Meanwhile, the types of community service schemes the lecturers at PGSD are qualified for include Student Community Service (KKN) and Student Creativity Program (PKM) schemes. Vera Yuli Erviana, M. Pd. is one of the lecturers who passed 3 research and community service schemes (PTUPT, PKM, KKN) at the same time at the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education.
On an interview on Monday (25/3), Vera Yuli Erviana, M. Pd. who is a lecturer at PGSD Study Program, explained how she passed various kinds of research and community service schemes at the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education. The main key to passing these schemes is to understand the terms and conditions of the targeted research or community service schemes in details. Other factors are the selection of partners across study programs (must have doctoral degree) and the selection of interesting and current topics (keep up with the times). Meanwhile, for community service schemes, one needs to look for topics related to the recycling of waste into something useful for the community. (FS-Public Relations 5)
