Abstract

Many junior high school students struggle with low self-regulated learning and ineffective learning strategies, resulting in poor academic achievement and dependence on teacher direction. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of psychoeducational group using symbolic modeling techniques in improving learning strategies among seventh-grade students at SMP Al-Hidayah Wuluhan. Employing a true experimental pre-test post-test control group design, eight purposively selected students were divided into experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of six psychoeducational group sessions using symbolic modeling via videos and pictorial media, while the control group received no additional treatment. Data were collected using a 30-item learning strategies questionnaire and counselor observations, then analyzed with descriptive statistics and inferential tests (paired sample t-test, independent samples t-test, and Wilcoxon test). The results showed a statistically significant increase in learning strategy scores in the experimental group (mean improvement: 2.30 to 3.95, p < 0.01, large effect size), particularly in study scheduling, resource selection, and metacognitive monitoring. The control group showed no significant change. The findings confirm that symbolic modeling, when embedded in psychoeducational group, accelerates the acquisition of adaptive learning behaviors and promotes student self-regulation. This research extends Bandura’s social cognitive theory by demonstrating the effectiveness of symbolic modeling for cognitive strategy development. The study offers practical implications for integrating digital media in school counseling and recommends further research with larger and more diverse samples to explore long-term effects and optimize implementation.

Abstract

A strong sense of responsibility is crucial for personal development, affecting an individual's ability to make decisions, fulfill obligations, and accept consequences. However, many students at SMK Negeri 1 Jember struggle with responsibility, as seen in rule violations, lack of commitment, and avoidance of accountability. To address these issues, this study investigates bibliocounseling as an intervention based on the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, using Sirah Nabawiyah as a medium to enhance responsibility. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the study involved 10 students with low responsibility levels. A responsibility questionnaire based on the Guttman scale was administered before and after the bibliocounseling intervention, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Test. The findings indicate a significant improvement in responsibility levels, with the average pretest score of 9.4 (low category) increasing to 24.3 (medium category) in the posttest. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference (Z = -2.812, p = 0.005), showing the effectiveness of bibliocounseling in fostering responsibility. This study highlights the potential of bibliocounseling using Sirah Nabawiyah as an effective, cost-efficient intervention for character development in school counseling programs. Future research should explore its long-term effects and applicability in diverse educational settings while examining the impact of various literary genres on behavioral development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the existential–humanistic approach in supporting the psychological recovery of verbal bullying victims in Islamic boarding schools. Verbal bullying can cause detrimental psychological impacts, such as decreased self-confidence, heightened anxiety, difficulty concentrating, declining academic performance, loss of interest in previous activities, and a reduction in previously positive social relationships, all of which hinder the emotional and academic development of students. Therefore, an intervention is needed to help victims of verbal bullying. The general objective of this study is to determine the extent to which group counseling using the existential–humanistic approach can improve the psychological condition of student victims of verbal bullying. The specific objectives are to measure changes in anxiety levels, concentration difficulties, academic performance, interest in activities, social relationships, and self-esteem after participating in group counseling sessions. This study employs a One Group Pre-Test Post-Test design, in which respondents are assessed before and after the group counseling intervention. Data will be collected using questionnaires measuring anxiety, depression, and self-esteem, and will then be analyzed to determine significant differences. The expected outcome of this study is to prove the effectiveness of group counseling with the existential–humanistic technique in reducing psychological disturbances among student victims of verbal bullying. The findings are anticipated to provide practical contributions to the development of counseling programs in Islamic boarding schools to support students’ mental well-being.

Abstract

Many vocational high school students experience barriers to interpersonal communication, such as low self-confidence and reluctance to express their opinions, while group guidance using assertiveness training has been recognized as an effective approach to address these challenges. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group guidance with assertiveness training in improving students’ interpersonal communication skills. The research employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving eight purposively selected 11th-grade students from a total of 32 at SMK Abdul Aziz. A validated interpersonal communication questionnaire was used to collect data, which were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The findings revealed that all participants showed improvement (positive ranks = 8; negative = 0; ties = 0); the mean score increased from M = 97.6 (SD = 7.5) to M = 136.0 (SD = 7.2), indicating a gain of 38.4 points. The Wilcoxon test produced Z = −2.527, p = .012 (< .05), confirming a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest results. These outcomes demonstrate that group guidance incorporating assertiveness training effectively enhances vocational students’ interpersonal communication. The study provides empirical support for counselors and educators to integrate assertiveness training into preventive and developmental counseling services, contributing to a more positive communication climate in schools. Future research should involve larger samples and control groups, extend intervention periods to assess long-term effects, and explore related psychosocial variables such as self-confidence, social anxiety, and problem-solving skills.

Abstract

Indonesia faces a persistent school-to-work mismatch, with youth unemployment remaining high and many junior-secondary students lacking career self-awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset. This study therefore aimed to develop and validate an edupreneur-based career guidance module that strengthens early entrepreneurial interest and career readiness among adolescents. Using a Research & Development design adapted from Borg and Gall, the study progressed through needs analysis, planning, prototype development, expert validation, limited field testing (n = 13), revision, and main field testing (n = 40) at SMP Modern Salsabila Al-Tapaq, Kutai Barat. Data were collected via observations, interviews, expert validation sheets (material and media), and student response questionnaires; quantitative results were analyzed with percentage validity, while qualitative data followed Miles–Huberman procedures. The module achieved strong feasibility: material validity = 80% (valid, minor revision) and media validity = 92% (very valid). In the preliminary trial, the share of students with high entrepreneurial interest increased from 30% to 60% (net +30 percentage points), supported by qualitative evidence of improved self-efficacy and opportunity recognition through reflective and experiential tasks (e.g., local case studies, mini-prototype planning). These findings indicate that contextual, values-integrated edupreneurship embedded in career guidance can foster employability-relevant attitudes and decision-making in early adolescence. Practically, the module offers a low-cost, locally adaptable approach aligned with national priorities on life and work skills, and it can be scaled through brief teacher enablement, community MSME partnerships, and micro-grants for classroom trials. Future research should employ quasi-experimental designs with comparison groups, validated multi-item intention/efficacy scales, and longitudinal follow-ups to test durability and behavioral outcomes (e.g., repeated venture trials, basic revenues, documented customer feedback).
