Abstract

Teachers are instrumental in advancing 21st-century education and implementing Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes the integration of cognitive development, mental resilience, and a positive learning environment. However, teachers in Alas District, Sumbawa Regency, continue to face challenges in designing innovative learning that promotes Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and mental health literacy. This community service program aimed to enhance teachers' understanding and practical competencies in implementing innovative learning grounded in mental health literacy. The program was conducted offline through the University of Mataram's Mental Health Literacy Research Product Dissemination Program and involved 60 teachers from early childhood, primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary education levels. The implementation consisted of coordination, training sessions (lectures, discussions, sharing sessions, and a Kahoot-based quiz), and observation-based evaluation. The findings revealed high participant engagement and enthusiasm while fostering a collaborative forum for exchanging best teaching practices to support students' cognitive development, mental well-being, and overall happiness.

Abstract

Mental health is a crucial aspect in shaping the professional readiness of prospective teachers. However, this issue remains underexplored in teacher education, despite the complex emotional and academic pressures faced by students. This study aims to describe the perceptions of prospective teachers regarding mental health, in terms of their knowledge, experiences, and expectations for institutional support. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 630 prospective teachers from various semesters. The instruments used consisted of a Likert scale, binary (Yes/No) questions, and open-ended questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive techniques, including mean scores, frequency distribution, and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students demonstrated a high level of awareness regarding the importance of mental health (mean score = 4.85), yet not all felt comfortable discussing the issue or seeking help when experiencing psychological pressure. A total of 63.17% of respondents had experienced or knew someone who experienced mental health problems, but only 37.14% felt they had adequate resources to cope. Student suggestions included the need for mental health education, counseling services, and awareness campaigns within the campus environment. These findings underscore the importance of integrating mental health education into teacher training curricula. Systematic efforts are needed to enhance literacy, reduce stigma, and foster a more supportive campus environment for the psychological well-being of future educators.
