Abstract

Understanding the student's character is key to the success of counselling  services. It is not uncommon for guidance and counselling  teachers to receive requests from clients due to differences in perspectives between generations. Generation Z and Alpha are the clients targeted by guidance and counselling  services today, so that in addition to understanding the problems, guidance and counselling  teachers must also understand how to view these digital native generations. This study aims to conceptually examine the characteristics of Generation Z and Alpha as clients, while also identifying the opportunities and challenges facing the guidance and counselling  profession. The study was conducted using a systematic literature review method specifically using SINTA and SCOPUS indexed articles as references. The results show that Generation Z and Alpha as clients have a high attachment to digital technology, good awareness of mental health issues, but are vulnerable in communication, problem-solving, and social relationships. These characteristics encourage the guidance and counselling  profession to develop flexible, accessible, and technology-based services, but at the same time demand a transformation of paradigms, competencies, and counselling  practices to remain client-cantered. The main challenge lies in meaningful counselling relationships, as well as strengthening identity and belonging in clients.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the continued presence of unempathetic behavior in the social interactions of students at MTs Ar-Raudloh Cileunyi, such as teasing one another, laughing at classmates who are sad, and the formation of exclusive friendship groups. This study aims to describe peer social interactions, student empathy, and the relationship between the two. A quantitative correlational method was used, involving 155 students from MTs Ar-Raudloh Cileunyi as respondents through total sampling. Data collection was conducted using a social interaction scale and an empathy scale, while data analysis employed descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test. The results indicate that peer social interaction falls into the high category (80.6%) and student empathy falls into the high category (72.3%). The results of the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test showed a positive and significant relationship between peer social interaction and student empathy (r = 0.654; p < 0.000). These findings indicate that the better the peer social interaction, the higher the level of student empathy.
