During the activity, students displayed posters containing research findings obtained through observation methods. The posters were designed concisely, emphasizing information that was engaging, structured, and easy for readers to understand. The issues presented in the posters were drawn from phenomena occurring in students' daily lives.

The poster exhibition not only served as a means of learning evaluation but also provided students with direct experience in disseminating research findings to the public. Through this activity, students were required to understand the observation results they had obtained, process their findings, and present them in an effective visual format.

The lecturer of the Observation and Interview course, Suri Mutia Siregar, S.Psi., M.Psi., explained that the poster exhibition was designed to strengthen students' skills in communicating research findings.

“The poster exhibition held as part of the Observation and Interview course before the Midterm Examination aimed to train students to disseminate research findings obtained through observation methods. Through this activity, students not only learn to conduct observations systematically but also learn to process findings and communicate them to others in the form of posters that are concise, engaging, and easy to understand,” she said.

The implementation of the poster exhibition in the Observation and Interview course also supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education. This activity provides students with opportunities to develop academic competencies and practical skills through the process of observation, processing findings, and presenting research results systematically and communicatively. This experiential learning is expected to develop students who not only understand concepts theoretically but are also able to apply and communicate knowledge effectively.

Through this poster exhibition, the learning process is expected to focus not only on theoretical understanding but also to provide students with opportunities to develop practical skills, ranging from conducting observations and processing data and findings to presenting their results scientifically and communicatively. The poster exhibition, as part of the Midterm Examination series,s also reflects the efforts of the Faculty of Psychology USU to provide active, applied, and competency-oriented learning for students.
