Abstract

College students deal with various events that can increase stress levels and negatively impact their lives. The study aimed to investigate the effect of solution-focused brief counseling (SFBC) on reducing college students' stress levels. The hypothesis suggested a decrease after comparing the stress level with SFBC before the intervention. The Participants consisted of 6 active postgraduate psychology students with moderate and high-stress levels. Furthermore, the study used a one-group pretest-posttest design, and the data were obtained through the Stress Scale for College Students (SSCS) and interview. The intervention used SFBC, and was conducted in four meetings. In analyzing the data, the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to determine the difference in experimental group values between before and after the intervention. The result showed that there are differences in stress levels before and after the procedure, and its drastic decrease in participants was observed after the intervention.

Abstract

Education inequality in Indonesia, especially for the urban poor, remains a problem. The poor often do not have adequate access to quality education, which impacts on their opportunities to improve their lives. One approach that can address this issue is through community-based schools, which involve educators, volunteers with a keen interest in education, families and communities in the education process to create a more inclusive and contextualized learning environment. This research aims to explore and understand how Gajahwong School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a community-based school, seeks to address educational inequalities for children from poor urban communities. The main focus of this research is to examine the practices, principles and curriculum implemented in the school. This research used a qualitative case study approach to collect data on the implementation of community-based schooling at Gajahwong School. Data were collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with one community leader, two school administrators, two teachers and two classroom volunteers. Data collection was conducted for 12 months. The data analysis technique used is thematic analysis, while the research question studied is how the community-based school model at Gajahwong School facilitates children's rights to a good education in addressing educational inequality among children from the urban poor. Analysis also used N-Vivo to support qualitative data analysis. The findings report on  the practices, principles, and curriculum at Gajahwong School. Highlighting the urgency of inclusive and contextual education for children from poor urban communities, the school’s dynamic, contextual, and progressive curriculum is prepared for and based on the context of urban poor communities and children's rights, and is designed to meet children's needs and developmental characteristics. Inclusive and child rights-based education forms the basis of the curriculum which is designed in a thematic way, providing space for each child to develop according to his or her potential.

Abstract

Learning Style VAK Inventory for Junior High School students in Indonesia, addressing the need for culturally relevant, technology-driven assessments. Existing learning style inventories often lack adaptation to specific educational contexts, and there is a growing demand for accessible, internet-based evaluation tools. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the inventory’s construct validity, reliability, and effectiveness in classifying students’ learning preferences. The inventory, consisting of 15 items measuring visual, auditory, and tactile learning styles, was tested on a sample of 1,400 students using online data collection. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the factor structure, yielding good model fit indices (CFI = 0.946, RMSEA = 0.024, SRMR = 0.027), supporting the inventory’s validity. However, internal consistency was moderate (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.580), highlighting the need for further refinement. Item discrimination indices ranged from 0.132 to 0.328, suggesting revisions for clarity and relevance. Descriptive findings indicated that tactile learners scored slightly higher (Mean = 21.187) than visual (Mean = 20.872) and auditory learners (Mean = 19.119), reflecting individual differences in learning preferences. While the study confirms the instrument’s structural validity, limitations include moderate reliability and potential biases due to online administration. Future research should focus on improving reliability, refining weak items, and ensuring broader population representation. The findings suggest that this inventory could assist educators in tailoring instructional strategies to students' learning preferences, supporting adaptive curriculum planning and personalized learning approaches in digital education settings.
