Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the implementation of counselor accountability at MTs Negeri Kota Bogor and formulate evidence-based strategies to strengthen their professional practice. The research responds to systemic challenges in Indonesian public madrasahs, where high student-to-counselor ratios, limited facilities, and fragmented institutional support hinder effective counseling services aligned with national policy goals. Design/methods/approach – A qualitative intrinsic case study approach was employed, focusing on two key informants—a counselor and the school principal—through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12, guided by the M.E.A.S.U.R.E accountability framework (Dahir & Stone, 2003), with methodological triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. Findings – Findings indicate that while the counselor applies systematic planning and evaluation procedures, accountability practices remain constrained by structural barriers. Notable initiatives include weekly documentation, digital-based student needs assessment, and collaborative service integration into classroom learning. However, ineffective communication with parents, insufficient training in data use, and the absence of specialized supervision impede sustainable accountability. Research implications – The findings support five actionable recommendations: (1) institutionalization of service-specific SOPs, (2) low-tech digital integration for reporting and assessment, (3) regular training in program evaluation and data utilization, (4) strengthened principal–counselor collaboration, and (5) strategic partnerships with external psychological service providers. These steps align with the goals of the Kurikulum Merdeka and Permendikbud No. 111/2014, and can inform national-scale policy refinements

Abstract

Social skills are an important aspect in developing the character of 21st century students, especially in facing the challenges of communication, collaboration, and cross-cultural interaction. However, there is no measurement instrument specifically designed to assess students' social skills in the context of higher education in Indonesia. This study aims to develop and evaluate a valid, reliable, and gender- and department-free Student Social Skills Instrument (S3I). The research sample consisted of 575 responses collected from various departments at IKIP Siliwangi, consisting of 113 male students (19.7%; SD = -0.79) and 462 female students (80.3%; SD = 0.69). The S3I instrument consists of 204 items arranged on a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Rasch model approach, including analysis of item validity, reliability, unidimensionality, and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) based on gender and department. The results showed that the S3I instrument had very high reliability (α = 0.98), met the criteria of unidimensionality (explained variance 29.8%), and most of the items showed conformity with the Rasch model. However, some items were found to be inappropriate and biased towards certain genders or majors, so they needed to be revised further. Overall, the S3I was stated as an appropriate and accurate measuring instrument to assess students' social skills in the context of higher education.

Abstract

Autonomy can influence students to regulate themselves through thinking, feeling, behaving, acting, being responsible for the decisions made and living them with social considerations. Several existing instruments for assessing student autonomy still contain items that are not yet relevant to the needs of Indonesian students. This presents an interesting opportunity to develop and adapt them to the diverse social, cultural, institutional, and academic backgrounds of Indonesian students, as well as the dynamics of diverse student populations. This study aims to develop a scale to validate student autonomy used purposive sampling. This study was conducted in 2024, involving 378 students as participants consisting of 39 males and 339 females aged 17-23 years at Padang State University. This instrument is called the Student Autonomy Scale. This study uses a quantitative approach with 40 questions with "yes-no" formats as answer choices—data analysis using the Rasch model and Winsteps software. The results showed that the Cronbach Alpha value, which measures the interaction between people and items, was 0.68, included in the sufficient category. In addition, the item reliability of 0.99 indicates that the items in the autonomy questionnaire can be used to measure autonomy in students. The use of theory-based assessment methods, cross-cultural trials, and adaptive technology are some of the solutions proposed to improve the measurement quality. The Student Autonomy Scale developed in this study has a novelty that is specifically designed for the context of students in Indonesia with various considerations by adapting a comprehensive autonomy theory and integrating several important aspects and providing more precise, accurate, and standardized analysis in the era of disruption and the 21st century.

Abstract

Weak empathy results in a lack of destructive behaviour in social life, intolerance, and discrimination. Empathy is a more comprehensive and profound concept than conventional empathy. This study is a scoping literature review that aims to identify what is known about empathy in helping professions. A systematic search was conducted on electronic databases, namely ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, Journal Nasional, and Taylor and Francis, studies from 2010-2025. Data analysis used PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The results of the study were mapped based on the following criteria: conceptualisation of empathy, factors in the development of empathy, and research on the development of empathy, and data analysed based on content analysis. The research findings show that applicable to various fields of helping professions. Factors that can influence empathy are divided into constructive empathy development, including altruism, cooperation, compassion, morality, justice, and happiness. However, destructive empathy development is related to ability, feelings, people, individuals, capacity, pain, social behaviour, and deficits. Research on empathy has developed significantly, especially in the fields of health and psychology, using quantitative research. However, further analysis is needed to develop a conceptual analysis of empathy that focuses on other fields of expertise in a more specific and comprehensive manner, taking into account the aspects, factors, and validity of empathy.

Abstract

Student autonomy refers to an individual's ability to manage their own learning process, make informed academic decisions, and take responsibility for their personal development. The level of autonomy can vary depending on the campus environment, learning approach, and the type of academic support provided. This study aims to describe and analyze the differences in student autonomy between Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP) and Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). This study used a comparative, descriptive, and quantitative approach. Samples were purposively selected from students at Universitas Negeri Padang and Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia who actively attended lectures. The data collection instrument was The Autonomy Questionnaire for Students with the Guttman scale model with "yes-no" formats as answer choices that measured the dimensions of learning autonomy, decision-making, and academic responsibility. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a comparative test (t-test). The results of the analysis showed that Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia students had a higher level of autonomy than students from Universitas Negeri Padang. Most respondents from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia were in the high autonomy category, while 50.4% of respondents from Universitas Negeri Padang were in the moderate category. The t-test results revealed significant differences between the two groups of students in aspects of decision-making and independent learning management. These differences can be attributed to variations in learning approaches, the role of lecturers as facilitators, and the more supportive academic environment at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The results of this study emphasize the importance of developing learning strategies and campus culture that can encourage student autonomy more evenly across universities.

Abstract

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the development of technological disruption in the current era of globalization have resulted in uncertainty and challenges, especially in the field of workforce recruitment. This condition requires readiness for career selection in the pre-employment age profile. Therefore, effective career guidance is increasingly needed. This study aimed to map the HAI (Hope-Action Inventory) profile of 82 high school students as the basis for career guidance and counseling service programs in high school. The method used in this research was a descriptive study of hope-action competencies assessment. The measurement of HAI competencies was important for effectively managing one's career development. This study found that 13% of students were still in the low expected action competence category. Several dimensions of competence measured showed a range of several dimensions of hope-action competence that were still undetermined, namely the dimensions of self-clarity (mean 2.98. SD 0.23), visioning (mean 3.11. SD 0.16), goal setting and planning (mean 3.06. SD 0.16). Some correlations among these dimensions (r = 0.187 to 0.661) suggest a hierarchy in the competency profile of action expectations that should be considered for developing programs career guidance and counseling service program that integrates the hope action theory. It is expected that programs career guidance and counseling that integrates the hope action theory will be more effective in enhancing career development.

Abstract

Genogram as a tool in the counselling process has a long history and is not just a term, but it is based on a clear philosophical foundation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method that includes primary articles and books. The results of the study indicate that a genogram is a diagrammatic representation of family conditions and information from several generations, which can explain status, work patterns, lifestyle, illness, gender, and other factors. By understanding the good or bad family history, individuals can use this information to anticipate and prevent future problems and guide them to achieve more positive conditions. The use of a genogram in counselling provides deep insight into hereditary patterns and dynamics, helps clients understand interpersonal relationships, and gives them strength to face life's challenges.
