Abstract

Changes in learning patterns both before and after the COVID-19 Pandemic require students to have adjustment abilities. The ability of students to adjust academically in blended learning does require not only teachers' support at school but also the role of parents at home. Well-functioning family is also an important supporting environment for students to have an excellent academic adjustment. To assist parents in helping and guiding students in academics, a workshop for parents was carried out to optimize family functions and parental support in improving students' academic adjustment. A total of 15 parents of Junior High School 4 Jatinangor students participated in this activity. Participants were representatives' parents from grades 7 to 9 of junior high school. The results indicate an increase in parental understanding regarding the role of family functions and parental support for students' academic adjustment. Parents also responded well and were satisfied with the materials and activities.

Abstract

Preschool-age children show rapid development in various aspects of their development, including numeracy and language development. Various and appropriate stimulations are expected to optimize their development. Parents as the closest support system for preschool children have a very significant role, especially in helping children optimize their numeracy and language skills. Parents can play an optimal role if they understand children's numeracy and language development. In this community service program, parents are given training on "Optimizing the Learning Environment for Numeracy and Language in Preschool Children" which aims to increase parents' understanding of children's numeracy and language development and efforts to optimize it. The participants were 31 parents and Posyandu cadres in Jatimukti, Sumedang, West Java. Parents' understanding was measured through a pre-test questionnaire administered at the beginning of the training and a post-test questionnaire at the end of the training. The results showed a positive effect of the training on parents' understanding of children's numeracy and language development. Therefore, the results of this training recommend further trainings aimed at improving parents' understanding of language and numeracy development in preschool childrens.

Abstract

Twelfth-grade students in modern pesantren often face stricter regulations and higher academic demands than those in regular schools, as they are required to follow both national and religious curricula within a residential setting. These conditions may influence students’ subjective well-being in school. Previous research has suggested that academic grit is associated with students’ well-being, particularly in high-demand educational contexts. This study aimed to examine the relationship between academic grit and subjective well-being in school among students in a modern pesantren. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 97 twelfth-grade students. Academic grit was measured using the Academic Grit Scale, and subjective well-being in school was assessed using the Brief Adolescents’ Subjective Well-Being in School Scale. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between academic grit and subjective well-being in school. All dimensions of academic grit were significantly correlated with subjective well-being, with determination showing the strongest association. These findings highlight the role of academic grit as an important psychological resource in supporting students’ well-being in demanding educational environments. Additionally, supplementary findings revealed that peer relationships were the most influential factor contributing to students’ positive emotional experiences. These results underscore the importance of both individual and social factors in promoting well-being among students in pesantren settings.
