A psychoeducational intervention was conducted using three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The participants consisted of 20 students from SMA Kartika XX-1 Makassar with a documented history of disciplinary violations.

Most students reported that the materials were relevant, easy to understand and applicable to their daily lives. Furthermore, participants demonstrated improved emotional awareness, enhanced self-control, and increased motivation to adobt more adaptive behaviors. In conclusion, mindfulness-based psychoeducation is an effective intervention strategy for improving student’s emotion regulation and reducing rule-violating behavior in the school setting.
