Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a group guidance approach using modeling techniques in enhancing career planning among high school students. Given the rapidly evolving job market and rising youth unemployment, structured career planning interventions for high schoolers are urgently needed to prevent future career misalignment and underemployment. The research employed a mixed-method design with an explanatory sequential approach, involving 36 eleventh-grade science students at SMAN 1 Purwakarta. Participants were selected via purposive sampling, targeting eleventh-grade science students with intermediate career-planning readiness to ensure intervention relevance. Quantitative data were collected through a career planning questionnaire, while qualitative data were obtained from interviews and observations. A 20-item Likert-scale career planning questionnaire measured four dimensions: decision-making, understanding, information-seeking, and self-efficacy (α=0.87), administered pre- and post-intervention.  The results indicate a significant improvement in career planning scores, with the average increasing from 100.36 (pretest) to 114.39 (posttest) (p = 0.000). The decision-making aspect showed the highest increase (+4.83), followed by career understanding (+4.62) and career information-seeking (+4.58). The findings demonstrate that modeling techniques using inspirational videos and interactions with real-life models such as professionals and alumni successfully visualized concrete steps in career planning, enhanced self-efficacy, and reduced student confusion. Qualitative findings confirm that group dynamics facilitated experience-sharing and enriched students' perspectives on the professional world. This study concludes that the approach is effective in helping students develop structured and comprehensive career planning. Practical implications emphasize the importance of integrating modeling-based career guidance programs into school counseling curricula, supported by external collaborations and the use of digital media.

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of education has transformed instructional methodologies in higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores the role of digital instruction and self-directed learning (SDL) as key determinants of academic performance. While digital instruction offers flexibility and accessibility, SDL empowers students to take ownership of their learning. The interplay between these factors significantly influences academic success. The population of study covered all the students of the government owned tertiary institutions in the six geopolitical zones used for the study. The study adopted the correlational survey design and utilized purposive sampling technique to select 185 students from the institutions. The instruments used for the study was developed by the researchers, titled Digital Instructions and Self-directed Learning as determinants of academic performance amongst Higher Education Institutions’ Students (HEIs) Questionnaire (DIaSLdAHEIsQ). The instrument was validated by experts in measurement and evaluation department to ensure content validity. The reliability of 0.88 at Cronbach alpha using test-retest method, there after Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used. Two (2) research questions were raised to guide this study and they were answered using the PPMC. The findings of the study revealed that digital instructions significantly correlate with academic performance of students in HEI (r = .244**, N= 185, P < .05), and also that digital instructions positively correlate with self – directed learning amongst students in HEI (r = .337***, N= 185, P < .05) at 0.05 level of significance. Based on the findings the following recommendations were made, that articulate use of digital resources ought to be underpinned by deployment of meaningful instructional materials and digital tools and activities. Teachers’ professional competence on the use of digital resources.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between Self-Regulation and Narcissistic Tendency in students with the research subject consisting of 70 students who are in the social sphere, the majority of whom have a sense of efficacy to anticipate themselves through social media. Posting their activities and personal life through social media in the hope of getting notice or praise from others reduces the sense of empathy, self-esteem, and self-control included in the self-regulation system. Data collection in this study uses the Self-Regulation scale and the Narcissistic Tendencies Scale. The data analysis techniques used were the normality test through SPSS statistic 25 (sig. 0.200 > 0.05 value) and the linearity test (sig. 0.307 > 0.05 value). From the value of the Pearson correlation test, it is known that the significance value of -0.827 > 0.05 between the two variables can be said to be a relationship between the self-regulation variable (X) and narcissistic tendency (Y) which means that the relationship is strongly correlated and has a negative effect.

Abstract

The increasing immersion of children and young adults in social media has heightened concerns about their psychosocial adjustment, underscoring the critical role of parental monitoring and communication. This study investigated how parental involvement, through monitoring and open communication, predicts social media use and adjustment among undergraduates in Anambra State, Nigeria. A correlational survey design was employed. Data were collected from 269 undergraduates (134 males, 135 females), aged 17 to 24 years, purposively selected from two public universities. The 24-item Parental Monitoring and Communication Questionnaire (PMCQ), culturally adapted and revalidated by experts, was used for data collection. Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple regressions via SPSS version 25. Parental monitoring negatively predicted social media use (β = –0.29, R² = .084, p < .001) and positively predicted adolescent adjustment (β = 0.34, R² = .116, p < .001). Similarly, open communication negatively predicted social media use (β = –0.23, R² = .053, p < .001) and positively predicted adolescent adjustment (β = 0.31, R² = .096, p < .001). When combined, parental monitoring and open communication explained 11.6% of the variance in social media use and 17.2% in adolescent adjustment (p < .001), confirming their joint predictive strength. The findings reinforce the importance of autonomy-supportive parenting practices in the digital age. Implications include the need to enhance parents’ digital literacy, promote culturally sensitive communication, and encourage school-family collaboration. It is recommended that parenting workshops, school engagement programs, and policy frameworks be developed to support parents in guiding responsible social media use among Nigerian youth.
