Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of educational psychology into the curriculum as a strategy to improve the quality of national education. The background of this study is based on the fact that the quality of education in Indonesia still faces various challenges, particularly in aspects of learning motivation and student psychological development. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, where data are collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of teachers, principals, and students in several secondary schools that have implemented psychological approaches in learning. The results show that the integration of educational psychology into the curriculum can increase student participation, create a more conducive learning environment, and encourage a more balanced academic and non-academic achievement. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as limited teacher training and a lack of explicit policy support. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of educators and more systematic policies are needed to realize a curriculum that is holistic and responsive to the psychological needs of students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of cooperative play in developing social and emotional skills among preschool children using a quantitative approach based on Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM–PLS). The sample consisted of 150 preschool children participating in play-based learning activities. The results indicate that cooperative play has a significant positive effect on social skills and directly enhances children’s emotional skills. Furthermore, social skills significantly influence emotional skills and mediate the relationship between cooperative play and emotional development. The model shows an R-square value of 0.532 for social skills and 0.614 for emotional skills. These findings highlight cooperative play as an effective pedagogical strategy for strengthening children’s social-emotional development. This study offers practical implications for educators in designing play activities that emphasize positive interaction and collaboration.
