Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of educational psychology in addressing mental health challenges in education and to identify intervention strategies implemented by teachers, counselors, and educational psychologists to support students' psychological well-being. The research method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies with informants consisting of teachers, school counselors, educational psychologists, and students. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that educational psychology plays a crucial role in early detection of mental health problems, providing interventions in the form of counseling and mentoring, and creating a more psychologically friendly school climate. The main obstacles in the application of educational psychology are limited counselor staff, minimal teacher training, and stigma regarding mental health issues. Nevertheless, the application of educational psychology principles has been shown to have a positive impact on learning motivation, emotional regulation, and the creation of a psychologically healthy learning environment.

Abstract

Character education is an important pillar in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum to shape students with integrity, responsibility, and high empathy. One approach considered in line with this spirit is the humanistic approach, which positions students as active subjects in the learning process. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the humanistic approach in improving five indicators of student character: empathy, responsibility, independence, honesty, and cooperation. The research method used was quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the non-equivalent control group design, involving 60 junior high school students from two different schools. Data analysis techniques used an independent t-test and effect size calculation. The results showed that the group learning with the humanistic approach experienced significant character improvement compared to the control group, with a significance value of p = 0.000 and an effect size of 1.52. The discussion shows that the humanistic approach is effective in creating a reflective, empathetic learning climate and encouraging the internalization of values. The conclusion of this study states that the humanistic approach is an appropriate strategy in strengthening character education, in line with the objectives of the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

This study examines the importance of synergy between Islamic religious education (IRE) in schools and families in forming children's Islamic personality. Using a literature review approach, this research analyzes the role of families as the first educational institution, the function of schools in strengthening religious education, and effective synergy models between these two environments. The results show that families play a role in instilling values of faith, worship, and noble character through exemplary behavior, habituation, and supervision. Schools strengthen this foundation through integrated IRE curriculum, Islamic school culture, and teacher exemplary behavior. Effective synergy between families and schools includes routine communication, joint programs, parental involvement in school activities, and coordination in implementing Islamic values. The synergy model based on maqāṣid al-sharīʿah shows that active collaboration between families and schools contributes significantly to forming a complete Islamic personality. This research recommends the need for formal agreements between schools and families, continuous training for teachers and parents, and the development of comprehensive assessment instruments to measure the effectiveness of children's Islamic personality formation.
