Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of behavior contract–based group counseling in reducing truancy behavior among junior high school students. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants consisted of 11 seventh-grade students identified through a needs assessment as having high levels of truancy. Data were collected using a validated truancy behavior questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a decrease in the mean truancy score from 66.73 in the pretest to 54.18 in the posttest, with a Z value of −3.059 and a significance level of 0.001 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that group counseling integrated with behavior contract techniques is effective in reducing truancy behavior. The novelty of this study lies in applying a structured behavioral contract within group counseling in an Islamic junior high school context.

Abstract

Emotional regulation is a critical developmental competence for children with intellectual disabilities, particularly in inclusive primary school settings. This study examined the strengthening of emotional regulation through social-emotional group guidance. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. Participants consisted of six children with intellectual disabilities enrolled in an inclusive primary school. Emotional regulation was assessed using a structured observational scale administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = −2.201; p = 0.031), indicating a gradual improvement in emotional regulation following the group guidance program. These findings suggest that social-emotional group guidance is a relevant and developmentally appropriate approach to supporting emotional regulation within school-based counseling services in inclusive education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of prophetic humanistic group guidance in improving the critical thinking skills of students at MA Assunniyyah. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 16 students selected through purposive sampling, comprising 8 students in the experimental group and 8 students in the control group. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test with the assistance of SPSS version 25.0. The results showed that prophetic humanistic group guidance was effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills. This was indicated by the Wilcoxon test results in the experimental group, which obtained a significance value of 0.012 (p < 0.05), and the Mann–Whitney test result of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The improvement in critical thinking skills was reflected in the aspects of analysis (tafakkur), evaluation (tabayyun), and logical decision-making (tadabbur). Therefore, prophetic humanistic group guidance is proven to be an effective guidance and counseling service for improving students’ critical thinking skills.
