Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of collaborative learning strategies in improving social skills of students at SMK Darut Taqwa Sengonagung. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design involving 60 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received collaborative learning treatment, while the control group used conventional learning methods. Data collection was carried out through social skills observation sheets, questionnaires, and interviews. The results showed that collaborative learning strategies were significantly effective in improving students' social skills with an N-gain value of 0.72 (high category). The improvement was seen in aspects of communication, cooperation, leadership, and conflict resolution. Statistical tests using the t-test showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). This study concludes that collaborative learning strategies can be used as an effective alternative to improve students' social skills in vocational education)

Abstract

This study examines the development of mental resilience in students facing academic pressure in higher education settings. Academic pressure has become a significant concern affecting students' psychological well-being and academic performance globally. Using a qualitative approach with phenomenological design, this research explores the lived experiences of 30 undergraduate students from various disciplines at Universitas Yudharta Pasuruan. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and psychological resilience assessments using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Findings reveal that students with higher mental resilience demonstrate better stress management, adaptive coping strategies, and sustained academic performance despite challenges. Five major themes emerged: development of adaptive coping strategies, role of social support networks, cultivation of self-efficacy and growth mindset, emotional regulation and stress management, and institutional support mechanisms. Students progressed from maladaptive coping such as avoidance toward problem-focused strategies including time management and help-seeking behaviors. Social support from family, peers, and lecturers proved crucial for resilience development. The study concludes that integrated interventions combining psychological education, peer support programs, emotional regulation training, and compassionate institutional policies can effectively build students' mental resilience, enabling them to navigate academic demands successfully while maintaining psychological well-being
