Abstract

The philosophy of science plays a fundamental role as an epistemological foundation in the development of science. This article examines the role of the philosophy of science in shaping the rational and methodological basis of scientific thinking, as well as its implications for innovation and integration of contemporary science. The research method used is a reflective-analytical literature study by examining classical and contemporary literature related to the philosophy of science and epistemology. The results of the study indicate that the philosophy of science not only provides a conceptual framework for the validation and justification of knowledge, but also guides the selection of appropriate scientific methods and facilitates interdisciplinary dialogue. In addition, the philosophy of science plays a crucial role in emphasizing the ethical dimensions and social responsibility in the development of science, especially amidst the increasingly complex and pluralistic challenges of the modern and postmodern eras. Thus, strengthening the philosophy of science is key to encouraging the development of science that is not only innovative, but also holistic and sustainable.

Abstract

The nice girl syndrome is a phenomenon that has a negative impact on individuals' lives, causing teenage girls to have poor interpersonal relationships. One way to overcome this problem is to practice assertiveness. This study aims to test the effectiveness of group counseling using assertive training techniques with virtual reality based on artificial intelligence video to improve the assertiveness of students with nice girl syndrome. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consists of 20 female students selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study were an assertive behavior scale that had been tested for validity and reliability, and a nice girl syndrome scale developed by Beverly Engel. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon formula (Signed Rank Test), Mann-Whitney U, and N-gain score test. The results of the study showed that the application of group counseling services using assertive training techniques, combined with virtual reality based on artificial intelligence video in the experimental group, can improve the assertive behavior of students with Nice Girl Syndrome more effectively. This can be seen from the two tests conducted, namely using the Mann-Whitney U formula and the N-gain Score test. The results of this study provide new directions and effective innovations in the implementation of group counseling in the digital technology era, and further development is needed for a wider population.
