In the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 currently requires various parties to continue to increase the capacity of each of the universities. In Indonesia there are various types of universities with each specifications of its advantages. All higher education institutions in Indonesia have one main goal of building superior Indonesian human resources. Superior resources can only be produced from the best education process carried out by superior teachers. Teachers who have advantages can only be produced through the best teacher education process in superior teaching teaching institutions (LPTK). Superior LPTK is LPTK that is able to build networks and synergy between learning in schools and lecture processes in class. Yogyakarta PGRI University (UPY) as one of the Teaching Personnel Educational Institutions (LPTK) in Yogyakarta also participated to prepare the best teacher candidates in Indonesia. One of the efforts made is through the Lecturer Assignment Program in Schools (PDS). In 2019 UPY became one part of PTN and PTS throughout Indonesia that received a lecturer assignment program grant at school.
As the initial part of the implementation of this program UPY carries out the PDS program socialization activity which is attended by related agencies, partner schools from elementary, junior high, high school and vocational school levels. The purpose of this PDS socialization activity is to inform and equalize the perception between LPTK and partner schools about the implementation of this PDS program. In 2019 UPY was in scheme B, namely the implementation of PDS activities in schools and on campus. After the socialization activity was continued with a PDS lecturer workshop in schools with partner schools. The lecturers who meet the criteria for carrying out PDS activities at this school are Darsono, M.Pd, Tri Wahana, M.Pd, Rina Dyah Rahmawati, M.Pd, Deri Amggraini, M.Pd and Sisca Candraningsih, M.Sc. Schools involved in this PDS are SMA N 7 Yogyakarta, SMK N 1 Kasihan, SMP N 10 Yogyakarta, SD N Tamansari 2 Yogyakarta and SD Muhammadiyah Ambarbinangun. Furthermore, lecturers who have held PDS in schools in 2018 this year will carry out PDS in campus to implement the experience gained through the PDS in the lecture process in the campus. The lecturers who carry out PDS activities on campus are Dr. Sunarti, M.Pd, Dra. Nurwahyumiani, M.A, Dra. Suharni, M.Pd, Dra. M.M Endang Susetyowati, M.Pd, Dra.

Vice Rector III UPY in the opening of the PDS program socialization conveyed the importance of a lecturer to know and have a real experience about the problem in learning activities at school and find solutions to overcome them, so that through this PDS activity will be able to increase the knowledge and insight of lecturers at FKIP UPY. In line with this statement the Chairperson of the UPY PDS Program hopes that the implementation of the PDS program can provide benefits both for PDS implementing lecturers and partner schools so that there is a better partnership cooperation.
