Abstract

Conventional Western-oriented career guidance models are not aligned with the value systems and practices of Indonesia's indigenous communities, creating significant gaps in service delivery. This research employs qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach. This ethnographic study explores the career development practices of the community to develop a culturally sensitive career guidance framework. A qualitative ethnographic approach was employed within the community. Four key participants from communitywere purposively selected. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews using a validated interview guide with a reliability score of 0, 89. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo, with member validation, yielding an inter-coder reliability of over 85%. Six interconnected themes were identified: pagawean adat as cultural preservation; family influence in intergenerational knowledge transmission; wangsit and spirituality in career decisions; traditional educational systems; success concepts based on kasuksesan adat; tradition-modernity dilemmas. Baduy career development operates through a holistic cultural framework that integrates spirituality, communal responsibility, and environmental preservation, challenging individualistic Western models. There is an urgent need to decolonize career development theories and create guidance models grounded in indigenous values for culturally responsive practice.

Abstract

This paper explores the impact of video-based pastoral counselling on the spiritual recovery of Generation Alpha. As digital technology becomes increasingly woven into our daily lives, understanding its role in fostering spiritual growth and recovery among younger generations is more important than ever. Recent research shows that video-based pastoral counselling tends to attract higher-income participants, with 61% belonging to upper-class demographics and 39% from lower-income backgrounds. To evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention, we collected data through structured surveys that assessed participants' spiritual well-being both before and after the counselling sessions. A chi-squared analysis was performed to examine the normality of the data distribution, resulting in a calculated value of 0. 654. This figure falls below the critical value of 3. 841 at a 5% significance level with five degrees of freedom, indicating that the data adheres to a normal distribution. Consequently, we retain the null hypothesis (H₀) and reject the alternative hypothesis (H₁). This study asserts that video-based pastoral counselling serves as an effective means of promoting spiritual recovery among Generation Alpha. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights into how digital tools can be integrated into pastoral care and offers practical recommendations for incorporating technology into spiritual development initiatives.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has expanded social interactions while simultaneously generating negative phenomena such as cyberbullying, which significantly affects individuals' psychological conditions. Cyberbullying can disrupt empathy and self-worth in both victims and offenders, making it essential to be explored comprehensively. This study aims to explore and analyze the effects of empathy and self-worth on involvement in cyberbullying from the perspectives of victims and offenders. A quantitative survey method was employed, using random sampling techniques to recruit 950 high school students as participants. Data were collected through standardized instruments measuring empathy and self-worth, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that empathy significantly influenced involvement in cyberbullying; individuals with higher empathy levels were more likely to become victims (β = 0.321, p = 0.003) but less likely to become offenders (β = -0.048, p = 0.044). In contrast, self-worth had a significant effect on victim involvement (β = 0.264, p = 0.003) but showed no significant relationship with offenders (β = 0.011, p = 0.647). These results indicate that empathy functions as a protective factor against becoming a cyberbullying offender while paradoxically increasing vulnerability to victimization. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for developing character-based intervention programs to prevent cyberbullying in educational environments.

Abstract

The background of this study highlights the low levels of self-disclosure and psychological well-being among students, which negatively impact emotional development, social relationships, and academic achievement. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral counseling services using cognitive restructuring techniques in improving students’ self-disclosure and psychological well-being. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving 60 students selected purposively based on pretest results and divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments used were validated and reliable self-disclosure and psychological well-being questionnaires. Data were analyzed using MANOVA after meeting the assumptions of normality, homogeneity, and multicollinearity. The findings revealed significant improvements in both variables in the experimental group compared to the control group. Cognitive restructuring techniques proved effective in helping students replace negative thinking patterns with more adaptive ones, thereby fostering self-disclosure and enhancing psychological well-being. These findings underscore the importance of integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques into school counseling programs to promote emotionally and socially healthy individuals.

Abstract

Test anxiety is a common psychological issue experienced by students, which can negatively affect both their academic achievement and emotional well-being. Innovative intervention strategies are required to help students manage this anxiety effectively. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a Mindfulness Technique Guidebook within the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on Virtual Reality (VR) as a psychological intervention tool to reduce test anxiety. The research employed a modified 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) up to the dissemination phase in the form of article publication. The subjects involved included content experts, media experts, practitioners, and students as end users. Data collection techniques consisted of validation questionnaires, observation sheets, and a test anxiety scale. The intervention’s effectiveness was tested using a Single Subject Research (SSR) design with an A-B-A model. The results indicated that the product demonstrated a high level of validity and was significantly effective in reducing test anxiety (p < 0.05). Additionally, the guidebook was deemed practical and feasible for implementation in school counseling services. These findings suggest that technology-based guides using a mindfulness-CBT approach offer an innovative and applicable alternative for supporting students' mental health in educational settings.

Abstract

The selection of vocational subjects for students with hearing disabilities should ideally be aligned with their individual interests, potentials, and personality types, as proposed in John Holland’s career theory. However, in practice, many students end up choosing subjects that do not match their personal characteristics due to limited access to structured and informative career guidance services. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a career counseling model based on Holland’s theory, integrated with digital media, in improving the alignment of vocational subject choices among students with hearing disabilities. This Research and Development (R&D) study employed the ADDIE development model and involved five students with hearing disabilities as trial participants. The research instruments included content validation questionnaires, practicality assessments, and evaluations of the appropriateness of vocational subject choices, all of which underwent validity and reliability testing. Data analysis was conducted using the Lawshe validity index (CVR and CVI), descriptive quantitative analysis, N-Gain test, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the counseling model had high content validity (CVI = 1), was highly practical (average practicality score of 97.91%), and was significantly effective in improving the appropriateness of vocational subject choices, as evidenced by a high N-Gain score and statistically significant Wilcoxon test results. These findings suggest that integrating digital media with Holland-based counseling is an innovative, effective, and inclusive strategy to support accurate career decision-making among students with hearing disabilities.

Abstract

National education emphasizes the importance of optimizing students’ potential through the enhancement of achievement motivation. However, many students continue to exhibit low motivation, as reflected in a lack of learning independence, a tendency to procrastinate, and high dependency on peer assistance. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioral counseling guide using the self-management technique supported by the Trello application in improving students' achievement motivation. The method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The trial subjects consisted of seven eighth-grade students identified as having low achievement motivation. The research instruments included a content validity sheet, a practicality questionnaire, and an achievement motivation questionnaire, all of which were tested for validity and reliability. The results indicate that the guide has high content validity, excellent practicality, and is significantly effective in improving students’ achievement motivation based on N-Gain and Wilcoxon test results. These findings suggest that the integration of digital-based self-management techniques is effective in fostering students’ self-regulation and can be replicated as an innovative counseling strategy to enhance students’ learning motivation in the digital era.

Abstract

Education at the junior high school level not only aims to develop students' academic competencies but also to foster character development, including moral integrity, independence, and the ability to build healthy social relationships, as mandated by the Pancasila Student Profile through the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. However, empirical realities in the field reveal that bullying behaviour both verbal and digital remains widespread, reflecting poor self-regulation and suboptimal internalization of character values among students. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioral counseling guide using the live modeling technique to reduce bullying behavior. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Four-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The participants consisted of 16 seventh-grade students, with expert validators from the fields of guidance and counseling, education, and psychology. Research instruments included a guidebook acceptability questionnaire, a guidebook practicality questionnaire, and a bullying behavior scale all of which were validated for content and reliability. The validation results indicated that the counseling guide was categorized as highly feasible, with an average practicality score of 87%. A limited trial showed significant effectiveness in reducing bullying behavior, with an N-Gain score of 92% in the experimental group and 39% in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.012, indicating a significant difference between groups. These findings suggest that the behavioral counseling guide utilizing live modeling is both effective and applicable in addressing bullying within the school environment.

Abstract

A significant increase in students' levels of boredom and learning stress has become a serious problem that can hinder the effectiveness and quality of the learning process in schools. This condition requires appropriate intervention efforts to help students manage stress and improve their readiness to learn. This study aims to test the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural counselling combined with relaxation techniques in reducing students' levels of boredom and learning stress. This study employs a quasi-experimental approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 30 students selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analysed using a Paired Sample t-test to determine significant differences between the pre- and post-treatment conditions. The analysis results showed significant differences in levels of boredom and learning stress before and after the counselling intervention. These findings indicate that relaxation techniques in cognitive behavioural counselling are effective in reducing learning fatigue and stress, as well as improving students' calmness and mental readiness to participate in the learning process. The implications of this study emphasise the importance of applying relaxation-based psychological interventions as a supporting strategy in creating a mentally and emotionally healthy learning environment.
