Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze the implementation of culturally responsive counseling in senior high schools and vocational high schools in Indonesia. A systematic literature review was conducted using studies retrieved from Google Scholar and the Garuda database. The initial search identified 10 potentially relevant studies, of which four met the predetermined inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The main inclusion criteria comprised studies published between 2016 and 2026 that examined the implementation or development of counseling approaches integrating Indonesian cultural values at the senior or vocational high school level. Studies conducted at other educational levels or published before 2016 were excluded. The findings revealed that several local cultural values had been integrated into individual and group counseling services, including Sasak culture, Masohi values, Acehnese Panton, and Javanese cultural values. These cultural elements were incorporated into counseling models and interventions combined with techniques such as focus group discussions and the person-centered approach. Development studies generally reported that the culturally based counseling products were feasible for use in school counseling services. Meanwhile, an experimental study integrating Masohi cultural values reported a significant reduction in bullying behavior. These findings highlight the potential of integrating local cultural values into counseling services to support culturally responsive and contextually relevant practices in Indonesian secondary schools.

Abstract

The growing cultural diversity in school environments demands guidance and counseling services capable of accommodating students’ diverse backgrounds. This study aims to examine the implementation of multicultural counseling at the junior high school (SMP) level using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The article search was conducted using the Google Scholar database with the keywords multicultural counseling, multicultural guidance and counseling, and Junior High School (SMP). The articles reviewed were scientific publications released between 2020 and 2026. Of the 7 articles obtained during the identification stage, 4 met the inclusion criteria and were used in the review process. The data were analyzed through the stages of identification, selection, evaluation, and synthesis of research findings to obtain an overview of the implementation of multicultural counseling in junior high schools. The study findings indicate a positive trend in the implementation of multicultural counseling to support student development. This service shows positive impacts on improving cross-cultural communication, fostering empathy and tolerance, reducing social prejudice, enhancing emotional regulation skills, and promoting acceptance of cultural diversity within the school environment. Additionally, the creativity of guidance and counseling teachers in managing these services contributes to the effectiveness of multicultural counseling implementation. These findings suggest that multicultural counseling has the potential to be a relevant approach in fostering an inclusive, harmonious, and diversity-respecting school environment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the various challenges faced in the implementation of multicultural counseling in school settings. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which analyzed five articles from national journals selected according to predetermined criteria. The data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach to identify the nature of these challenges and potential solutions for implementing multicultural counseling. The results of the study indicate that multicultural counseling services still face various obstacles, including limitations in counselors’ competence and cultural sensitivity, weak intercultural communication skills, the emergence of stereotypes and prejudices, a tendency toward counselor encapsulation, and differences in language, dialect, values, and cultural norms between counselors and clients. Additionally, students also experience difficulties adapting, barriers in interpersonal communication, social anxiety, and low self-confidence due to cultural differences. Other barriers are related to institutional factors, such as the lack of a systematically structured multicultural counseling program, limited understanding among guidance counselors regarding cultural diversity, and minimal support from schools, families, and the community. On the other hand, the development of globalization and technology has further expanded the cultural diversity of students, thereby increasing the complexity of counseling services. Research findings indicate that the effectiveness
