Abstract

ABSTRACT Sex education in Indonesia remains a controversial issue, particularly at the junior high school level, resulting in limited adolescent understanding of reproductive health. This study aims to analyze how sex education at SMPN X Yogyakarta fosters adolescents’ awareness and understanding, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving one guidance counselor and four ninth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that prior to formal sex education, students had very limited knowledge and were largely influenced by inaccurate information from peers and social media. The implementation of sex education in schools has been shown to improve students’ understanding of reproductive health, correct misconceptions, and promote more responsible behavior, such as the ability to resist peer pressure and increased self-awareness. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, including social stigma, embarrassment, limited instructional time, and cultural as well as institutional constraints. Therefore, a more comprehensive and interactive approach, along with support from parents and educational policies, is needed to enhance the effectiveness of sex education in schools. ABSTRAK Pendidikan seks di Indonesia masih menjadi isu kontroversial, khususnya di tingkat sekolah menengah pertama, sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya pemahaman remaja mengenai kesehatan reproduksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pendidikan seks di SMPN X Yogyakarta membangun kesadaran dan pemahaman remaja, serta mengidentifikasi faktor pendukung dan penghambat dalam pelaksanaannya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, melibatkan satu guru BK dan empat siswa kelas IX yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum mendapatkan pendidikan seks formal, siswa memiliki pengetahuan yang sangat terbatas dan cenderung dipengaruhi oleh informasi yang tidak akurat dari teman sebaya dan media sosial. Implementasi pendidikan seks di sekolah terbukti mampu meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang kesehatan reproduksi, meluruskan miskonsepsi, serta membentuk perilaku yang lebih bertanggung jawab, seperti kemampuan menolak tekanan teman sebaya dan meningkatkan kesadaran diri. Namun demikian, pelaksanaannya masih menghadapi berbagai hambatan, seperti stigma sosial, rasa malu, keterbatasan waktu pembelajaran, serta pengaruh budaya dan kebijakan sekolah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pendekatan yang lebih komprehensif, interaktif, serta dukungan dari orang tua dan kebijakan pendidikan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pendidikan seks di sekolah.

Abstract

Background. Rapid technological development has significantly reshaped elementary students' learning habits, increasing their exposure to instant digital stimuli. Recent educational and psychological studies have highlighted growing concerns that excessive digital engagement contributes to shorter attention spans, impulsive thinking, emotional dysregulation, and dependence on immediate gratification. These trends threaten students' capacity for deep learning, reflective thinking, and character development, making it urgent to identify educational approaches that foster emotional balance and sustained attention. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the integration of the concept of thuma'ninah as a spiritual value into the elementary education curriculum as an alternative response to the popcorn brain phenomenon, contributing to the development of character-based education that enhances students' emotional stability, self-regulation, and learning engagement in the digital era. Method. This study employed a qualitative research design using a literature review approach. Data were collected and analyzed from relevant scientific publications in the fields of Islamic education, educational psychology, curriculum studies, and digital technology's influence on child development. Results. The review demonstrates that thuma'ninah, characterized by inner peace, reflective awareness, emotional stability, and self-control, can be systematically integrated into elementary education through the reinforcement of worship practices, structured reflective learning activities, and Islamic mindfulness-based instructional strategies. Consistent with previous studies on mindfulness and social-emotional learning, these approaches contribute to improved concentration, emotional regulation, learning engagement, and resilience against the negative cognitive effects associated with excessive digital stimulation. Conclusion. The integration of the concept of thuma'ninah into the elementary education curriculum represents a relevant and effective strategy for addressing the challenges posed by the popcorn brain phenomenon. It not only supports students' cognitive focus and emotional well-being but also contributes to developing morally grounded, reflective, and digitally resilient learners.
