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.
