Abstract

Marriage readiness is an important developmental aspect among university students, encompassing emotional and social maturity as well as the ability to perform marital roles. However, psychometrically sound instruments for measuring marriage readiness remain limited, particularly within the Indonesian guidance and counseling context. This study aimed to validate the Marriage Readiness instrument for university students using the Rasch Measurement Model to determine its feasibility as a psychological assessment tool. A quantitative approach was employed involving 217 students and 40 instrument items analyzed using Winsteps version 4.4.5. The analysis included person and item reliability, item fit, unidimensionality, and mapping of respondents’ abilities and item difficulty through the Wright map. The results indicated good psychometric quality, with person reliability of 0.92 and item reliability of 0.95. Most items met the Rasch model criteria, although several misfitting items were identified and required revision. Unidimensionality analysis showed that the instrument consistently measured a single underlying construct, with a raw variance explained by measures of 40.9%. The Wright map demonstrated an appropriate alignment between item difficulty and respondent characteristics. Therefore, the Marriage Readiness instrument is feasible for use as an assessment tool in guidance and counseling services to identify university students’ level of marriage readiness.

Abstract

Academic stress is a psychological condition where students feel worried about academic failure. To overcome this, students can develop stress coping, be it problem focused coping or emotional stress coping. This study was conducted to provide an overview of the level of stress coping developed by students as well as the types of stress coping developed. This study is a quantitative descriptive study with a population of Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University students. The sample used in this research was 300 students. The instrument used in this study is a stress coping scale using the stress coping theory developed by Lazarus. The results show that students have moderate stress coping abilities. The type of stress coping that is most often used by both male and female students in dealing with academic stress is emotional focused coping. The forms of behavior used to overcome academic stress are distancing, confrontative coping, and seeking information support.

Kegiatan dilakukan melalui workshop berbentuk blended learning dengan mitra MGBK Kota Surakarta yang melibatkan 33 guru BK SMA/SMK. Metode pelaksanaan mencakup sosialisasi, diskusi kelompok, simulasi VR, penugasan mandiri, serta mentoring. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pretest, posttest, dan refleksi. Hasil kegitan ini terlihat pada peningkatan kemampuan rata-rata paserta sebesar 69,4% dari sebelum ke sesudah pelatihan, melampaui target minimal 30%. Selain itu, 72,7% guru mencapai indikator kunci berupa kemampuan menjelaskan sekaligus menggunakan VR dalam layanan BK. Program ini tidak hanya meningkatkan keterampilan teknis para peserta, tetapi juga memperkuat soft skill berupa empati, kreativitas, dan kemapuan berkolaborasi para guru BK.Abstract: Bullying, both conventional and digital, remains a serious threat to students’ psychological well-being. Low levels of student empathy and limited competence of school counselors in integrating technology have hindered the optimization of bullying prevention services. The PKM VIBES program (Virtual Reality as a Bullying Prevention Strategy) aims to enhance counselors’ capacity in designing virtual reality (VR)-based services. The program was implemented through a blended-learning workshop in collaboration with the MGBK of Surakarta, involving 33 high school counselors. The methods included socialization, group discussions, VR simulations, independent assignments, and mentoring. Evaluation was conducted using pretests, posttests, and reflections. Results showed an average improvement of 69.4% in participants’ competence from pre- to post-training, exceeding the minimum target of 30%. Furthermore, 72.7% of counselors achieved key indicators, namely the ability to explain and use VR in counseling services. This program not only improved participants’ technical skills but also strengthened their soft skills, including empathy, creativity, and collaboration.
