Abstract

The development of technology, especially gadgets, has changed the pattern of social interaction among adolescents, especially school students. The phenomenon of gadget dependence is increasing, which can reduce the intensity of direct interaction and face-to-face communication skills. This study aims to examine the impact of gadget use on students' social interactions. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. This study involved students as research subjects. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews. The collected data were then analyzed to identify the impact of gadget use. The results showed that excessive gadget use can reduce social interaction with family and friends, social isolation, and decreased face-to-face communication skills. As an effort to overcome this, the school supervises the use of gadgets, educates the use of gadgets wisely by teachers, and some students try to manage gadget use by participating in social and sports activities.  The study emphasizes the importance of managing gadget use wisely and balancing digital activities with face-to-face social interactions.

Abstract

Premarital guidance plays a vital role in preparing prospective brides and grooms for marriage by enhancing their religious and psychological readiness. Integrating Service Learning into this guidance program offers an experiential and participatory approach that may improve the effectiveness of preparation. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a Service Learning framework, involving five pairs of prospective couples and one religious counselor at the Religious Affairs Office in Percut Sei Tuan. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews, focusing on the implementation process and its impact on couples’ readiness. Findings indicate that Service Learning-based premarital guidance significantly improves couples’ understanding of Islamic marriage principles and strengthens their emotional maturity and coping skills. Interactive activities and reflections promoted deeper internalization of religious values and enhanced psychological preparedness for marital challenges. The participatory nature of Service Learning fosters moral commitment and emotional resilience essential for harmonious family life. Despite challenges such as limited time and participant variability, this approach effectively combines spiritual and psychological preparation, contributing to the development of stable and fulfilling marriages.
