Abstract

Academic procrastination hurts students’ academic performance and emotional well-being. Addressing this issue is essential in higher education settings. This study examines the effectiveness of positive psychology-based counselling in reducing academic procrastination among guidance and counselling students. This study involved 16 students from Muhammadiyah University of Pringsewu, Indonesia, who used the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) to measure their levels of procrastination. A pretest-posttest control group design was applied. The experimental group received a positive psychology intervention consisting of 8 weekly sessions, while the control group participated in conventional group counselling. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test, which showed a significant difference between the two groups after the intervention (p = 0.001), with a strong effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.46). Furthermore, the intervention increased conscientiousness, self-restraint, and self-control, all of which are important for academic discipline. These results indicate that positive psychology-based counselling is effective in reducing academic procrastination and enhancing students' self-regulation skills. Keywords: academic procrastination, positive psychology-based counseling, conscientiousness, self-restraint, self-control

Abstract

Sociometry is a method for assessing social relationships within groups developed by Jacob L. Moreno and has long been applied in guidance and counseling. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sociometry in guidance and counseling during the period 2000–2023 through a systematic thematic review approach. Data sources came from 42 open-access primary references cited in a recent systematic literature review. The thematic analysis identified five main themes: (1) theoretical foundations and validity of sociometry; (2) the evolution of applications from individual diagnostics to systemic analysis; (3) intervention effectiveness and stability of social status; (4) practical and ethical challenges in the school context; and (5) the paradox between scientific validity and practicality of implementation. The results indicate that sociometry remains recognized as the gold standard for measuring social status, peer relationships, and classroom climate, with convergent validity confirmed through significant correlations with standard instruments such as the SSRS and CBCL (r = −.20 to .24, p < .01). However, its implementation faces serious obstacles: high stability of rejected status (e.g., children with ADHD are more likely to be rejected even after intensive intervention), the risk of stigmatization, time and training constraints, and a gap between theoretical validity and practical adoption (only 3.64% of US schools use it for universal screening). Key gaps include the paucity of research on the fidelity-effectiveness relationship, the lack of modern psychometric validation, and the dominance of Western contexts. Recommendations include the adoption of the more accurate García Bacete (GB) classification model (92.3% behavioral validity for neglected status), the use of sociometry as a triangulation tool, the development of web-based digital tools, and ethical training for counselors and teachers. This study provides conceptual and practical contributions to strengthening evidence-based counseling in Indonesia and globally.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of folklore as a medium for group guidance in developing empathy and tolerance in high school students through a PRISMA-based systematic literature review (SLR) approach. The search method was carried out using the Scopus database using keywords related to folklore, group guidance, empathy, and tolerance for the period 2010-2024 with a focus on post-2015 studies for quantitative and digital evidence. The selection results yielded 50 articles that met the inclusion criteria for further analysis. Thematic analysis revealed that the integration of folklore with pedagogical techniques such as values ​​clarification, sociodrama, and role-playing proved effective in developing empathy and tolerance in students. The psychosocial and neurocognitive mechanisms triggered by folklore support stereotype reduction, identity strengthening, and the development of social-emotional skills. The findings also indicate that digital storytelling is as effective as traditional methods, if not superior, in increasing student engagement and reflection. Key challenges include limited teacher training, limited cross-cultural research, and the lack of standardized measurement tools. Research recommendations lead to the development of an integrated curriculum, practice-based teacher training, the development of a digital platform, and the validation of a folklore-based empathy and tolerance measurement tool. These findings provide important implications for educational practitioners, school counselors, and policy makers in designing folklore-based interventions for character development and social-emotional competencies in secondary schools.

Abstract

Guidance and counseling in elementary schools play a crucial role in helping children understand themselves, adapt to their environment, develop learning skills, build healthy social relationships, and prevent more complex developmental problems. In practice, however, parents’ understanding of school guidance and counseling is often limited to the handling of problematic students. This condition may reduce the quality of collaboration between schools and families in supporting children’s development. This community service program aimed to improve parents’ literacy regarding the nature, functions, domains, services, and implementation of guidance and counseling in elementary schools. The program was conducted by a team of lecturers from department of Guidance and Counselling Universitas Muhamadiyah Metro for parents at SD Muhamadiyah Buya Hamka Metro. The implementation methods included partner needs identification, preparation of educational materials, interactive lectures, case discussions, parenting reflection, and participant understanding evaluation. The materials covered the definition of guidance and counseling, personal, social, learning, and career domains, as well as the functions of understanding, prevention, development, improvement, and system support through collaboration among classroom teachers, schools, parents, counselors, psychologists, and other relevant stakeholders. The results indicate that parents gained a more comprehensive understanding of guidance and counseling as a developmental service rather than merely a remedial service. Participants also demonstrated greater awareness of positive communication, learning assistance, character strengthening, early detection of children’s problems, and continuous collaboration with schools. This program contributed positively to building shared understanding between schools and families as a supportive ecosystem for the holistic development of elementary school children.

Abstract

Digital transformation has altered how school counseling is organized, delivered, documented, and extended beyond the physical school setting. Yet the literature uses heterogeneous terms including online counseling, virtual counseling, tele-counseling, digital counseling, technology integration, web-based guidance, and artificial intelligence making it difficult to determine what “readiness” for hybrid school counseling should encompass. This scoping review maps the recent Scopus-indexed literature relevant to school counselors’ digital readiness and technology-mediated practice. A supplied Scopus export containing 100 records was screened in two stages. The temporal window was restricted to the most recent ten calendar years (2017–2026), and only records classified by Scopus as Document Type “Article” were eligible. This produced 48 records for title-and-abstract relevance screening. Eighteen sources met the Population–Concept–Context criteria and were included. The evidence base was geographically concentrated in the United States and Indonesia and methodologically diverse, comprising quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, research-and-development/system-development, and conceptual sources. Five overlapping themes were identified: practitioner digital readiness and adaptive competence; digitally mediated and hybrid service delivery; digital assessment, data, and program infrastructure; organizational and ethical conditions; and artificial intelligence and future-ready counseling. Digital self-efficacy, role clarity, institutional support, privacy, access, relationship quality, and human oversight repeatedly emerged as readiness conditions. A central gap is that the literature frequently examines online, virtual, or digital components but rarely operationalizes hybrid school counseling as a distinct, intentionally integrated service model. The review therefore proposes a multilevel readiness framework in which individual, practice, organizational, and ethical-relational readiness jointly shape hybrid counseling capability. Future research should validate multidimensional readiness measures, compare hybrid and single-modality counseling, and test implementation models across diverse school systems.

Abstract

One of the programs implemented to provide access to and equal education is the admission of students through the zoning pathway. The zoning pathway refers to schools managed by the local government that are required to admit students from zones designated by the local government, with a maximum quota of 80%. In reality, the implementation of the zoning pathway has led to quite complex problems, ranging from the manipulation of student data to a lack of high learning motivation among students and low competitiveness among students admitted through this pathway. This study aims to identify the problems faced by students admitted through the zoning pathway at public high schools in Metro City and their implications for guidance and counseling. The research was conducted at six public high schools in Metro City. The data collection method used was an inventory of developmental task problems, and the collected data will be analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the problem scores experienced by State Senior High School students in Metro City who are admitted through the zoning pathway fall into the low category. Additionally, it was found that the aspect of developmental tasks presenting the greatest challenges for these students is the development of Economic Behavioral Independence/Entrepreneurship.
