Banjarmasin – Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) hosted the Guidance and Counseling (BK) Media Fest Competition for Students which was initiated by the National Level Counseling Guidance and Academic Support Unit (UPA BK) on Thursday (30/5/2024). This lively activity brought together students from various universities in Indonesia to compete in three categories: scientific papers, posters, and guidance and counseling videos.
The event was officially opened by the ULM Caretaker of the head academic bureau, Dr. Hj Nieke Rezeki Febriyanti, S.E., M.M.,. He conveyed the importance of the role of guidance and counseling in supporting the educational process and developing student character. Apart from that, this activity is also a means to foster student creativity and innovation in the field of Guidance Counseling.
“Hopefully it will run smoothly until completion and hope that this activity can continue to motivate students to innovate and contribute to the development of the field of guidance and counseling.” Said ULM Caretaker of the head academic bureau.
Scientific Writing
 The scientific writing competition is an opportunity for students to present their research in the field of guidance and counseling. The finalists demonstrated their ability to present research results that are innovative and relevant to current issues in the world of education and counseling. The jury consisting of academics and BK practitioners provides assessments based on originality, research quality, and contribution to the development of guidance and counseling science.
Poster Category
The poster competition is a forum for students to express their ideas visually. The posters on display are not only aesthetically attractive, but also convey important messages related to guidance and counseling. Creativity and the ability to convey information effectively are the keys to assessment in this category.
