UNAIR NEWS聽–聽Three Faculty of Psychology (FPsi) students from 东京热 (UNAIR) have made an achievement.聽This time, it was from 2019 Psychology Fair at Widya Mandala Catholic University, Surabaya.聽In a competition that was held on 11-13th April 2019, the three students won second place in intervention design聽category.
Three FPsi students were Shania Surya Kusuma, Laili Faristim Sukma, and Mauliddita Salsabila Azzahra.聽They managed to win the competition by initiating a career game board (PAPKA).
PAPKA is a board game with a focus on career development for players.聽It was developed by three FPsi students to overcome the problem of self-development especially on career.
One of the delegates, Laili, said that PAPKA was able to help students who were still confused how to start their careers.聽The game encourages a person to be able to explore self in depth.
“We replace countries in monopoly game with existing professions,” said Lili.聽“The unique thing about this game is that the prison section in monopoly is replaced with a seminar,” she added.
Uniquely, PAPKA encourages players to conduct seminars and emphasize communication practice.聽Communication made by players during seminar is a proof that there is talent from the player.
” PAPKA is not only for students, but also for high school graduates and those who are still confused developing their careers,” she said.聽“PAPKA is also able to be a medium to share to fellow players so they are not confused anymore expressing their opinions,” she added.
Lili also explained that PAPKA games can be accessed through聽a barcode scan聽which will be directly connected to Google drive.聽The tools needed such as boards and cards can be printed by downloading from聽Google drive.
Meanwhile, 2019 Psychology Fair competition was attended by delegates from various universities.聽Lili said that the toughest rival at the competition was Sebelas Maret State University (UNS).聽She hoped that PAPKA would be useful and widely spread in the community.聽(*)
