Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has been widely recognized for its potential to improve teaching and learning outcomes. However, low-income schools face unique challenges in implementing ICT solutions, which can hinder their effectiveness. This research explores the barriers and opportunities associated with the implementation of ICT in low-income schools. The study aims to identify the key factors influencing the adoption and integration of ICT, including infrastructure limitations, teacher preparedness, and access to resources. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving both qualitative and quantitative data collection. Surveys were distributed to teachers and administrators from low-income schools, while interviews provided deeper insights into the contextual challenges faced by these institutions. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS to identify statistical trends, while thematic analysis was applied to the qualitative data. The findings revealed that inadequate infrastructure, such as a lack of reliable internet access and outdated equipment, is a significant barrier to ICT adoption. Furthermore, limited training for teachers in the effective use of ICT tools hampers their integration into the curriculum. Despite these challenges, the study identified potential opportunities for overcoming these barriers, including government support and community partnerships. In conclusion, the successful implementation of ICT in low-income schools requires addressing infrastructure gaps and enhancing teacher training programs. Strategic partnerships and policy interventions are crucial in ensuring that these schools can leverage the benefits of ICT to improve educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the critical role of cross-cultural perspectives in understanding intimacy and communication within marriage. As societies become increasingly diverse, traditional marriage counseling approaches often overlook the unique needs and experiences of couples from varied cultural backgrounds. This article aims to explore how cultural values, norms, and communication styles shape the experiences of intimacy and influence relationship dynamics among married individuals. The research highlights that intimacy is not merely a personal experience but is heavily influenced by cultural context, which dictates how affection, emotional support, and conflict resolution are perceived and expressed. By analyzing various counseling models, including those that are culturally informed, this study emphasizes the need for adaptability in therapeutic practices. It also discusses the potential barriers that culturally diverse couples face in counseling settings, such as misinterpretation of behaviors and expectations rooted in differing cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the article provides practical recommendations for marriage counselors to create more inclusive and effective interventions. This includes the necessity of integrating cultural competence training into counselor education programs and developing tailored counseling strategies that acknowledge and respect cultural differences. By doing so, counselors can better support couples in navigating their unique challenges and enhancing their relational satisfaction. Ultimately, this study advocates for a shift in marriage counseling paradigms to embrace a more holistic and culturally sensitive approach, thereby improving outcomes for couples from diverse backgrounds.

Abstract

Background. Adolescence is a critical period for emotional development and social adjustment. During this stage, the ability to regulate emotions becomes increasingly important, particularly as it influences the formation of prosocial behavior—actions intended to benefit others. Gender differences have also been observed in both emotional regulation strategies and prosocial tendencies, highlighting the need to explore how these variables interact. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotion regulation and prosocial behavior in adolescents, with a specific focus on gender differences. It also sought to identify whether gender moderates the influence of emotion regulation strategies on the development of prosocial actions among adolescents. Method. The study involved 320 high school students aged 13–17 from urban and semi-urban schools. Data were collected using standardized psychological scales measuring emotion regulation (including cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) and prosocial behavior. Statistical analysis was conducted using correlation analysis, multiple regression, and moderation tests to examine gender-based differences. Results. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between cognitive reappraisal and prosocial behavior in both genders, with a stronger effect observed among female participants. Expressive suppression showed a weak or negative correlation with prosocial behavior, particularly among males. Gender was found to moderate the relationship, indicating that females who engage in positive emotion regulation strategies tend to display higher levels of prosocial behavior. Conclusion. Emotion regulation plays a crucial role in shaping adolescent prosocial behavior, with notable differences between males and females. Educational and psychological interventions aimed at fostering emotional competence should consider gender-specific approaches to enhance social functioning and empathy among adolescents.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of formal and informal education in the development of Islamic Psychology to improve community welfare, especially among Muslim communities in Yogyakarta City. Using a quantitative method with a survey approach, this study involved 300 respondents selected through a stratified random sampling method, including those who had experience in formal and informal faith-based education. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire that measured participants' perceptions of the impact of such education as well as their psychological well-being. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant positive relationship between formal and informal education in Islamic Psychology and psychological well-being. Formal education makes a strong contribution to the development of knowledge, while informal education, such as recitation and pesantren, plays a role in the formation of spiritual values that support individual well-being. The findings confirm the importance of integrating formal and informal education in the context of developing Islamic psychology to achieve better community well-being. This study also provides recommendations for educational institutions to further optimize the synergy between these two types of education.
