Problem-solving skills during industrial work practice are essential competencies that vocational high school (SMK) students must possess. This study aims to develop a group counseling guide using the Six Thinking Hats technique to enhance the problem-solving skills of students in technology and engineering vocational programs that meet acceptability criteria. The guide is designed for use by guidance and counseling teachers in preparing students for industrial internships. This research employed the ADDIE development model, which includes the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The preliminary study involved 362 vocational high school students who were undergoing industrial work practice. The main subjects of the study consisted of two expert validators from the state university and two user validators, namely guidance and counseling teachers. The research instruments included an acceptability questionnaire and a problem-solving skills questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis to assess the feasibility of the guide based on expert and user validation results, and the effectiveness was tested using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results indicated that the group counseling guide using the Six Thinking Hats technique met the acceptability criteria and was deemed appropriate for use by practitioners. This guide is expected to assist guidance and counseling teachers in developing more effective counseling strategies to prepare students for industrial work practice.

Spirituality is a personal factor that plays an important role in strengthening students’ self-resilience; however, it has not yet been comprehensively accommodated in existing resilience measurement instruments. This issue highlights the need for an in-depth examination of spirituality constructs that are relevant to self-resilience. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the spirituality construct in measuring student self-resilience based on a systematic review of relevant literature. A systematic literature study was employed by collecting data through searches of academic publications using the keywords “spirituality,” “spiritual well-being,” “meaning in life,” and “transcendence.” The data were analyzed using critical content analysis of seven key relevant publications. The results indicate that the most frequently referenced instruments for measuring spirituality related to self-resilience include the Religious and Spiritual Struggles (RSS), Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES), NIH-HEALS, and a questionnaire developed by Shelton et al. Further analysis identified four main dimensions of spirituality in self-resilience: connection, inner peace and harmony, meaning and purpose of life, and spirituality practice as coping. The findings conclude that spirituality constructs provide strong conceptual contributions to strengthening student self-resilience measurement. The implications of this study support the development of spirituality-based assessment instruments and intervention programs within educational and counselling contexts.

Ideally, counseling should be grounded in approaches that align with the client’s cultural background and lived experiences so that the therapeutic process can become more authentic and meaningful. However, counseling practices are still dominated by Western models that pay insufficient attention to local wisdom, creating a gap between theoretical frameworks and practical needs in the field. This study aims to analyze, develop, and validate a counseling learning medium in the form of a short film that presents the concept of Kontemplasi Nyawang Karep from the teachings of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram as a means to strengthen indigenous counseling competencies among students. The research employs the Borg and Gall Research and Development (R&D) model. Data were obtained through validation by media experts and content experts using feasibility assessment instruments, followed by quantitative descriptive analysis. The resulting product consists of nine curated and evaluated scenes of a short film. The findings indicate that the indigenous counseling short film is considered highly feasible by both expert validators. These results highlight the strong potential of short film media as a form of observational learning that helps viewers understand and concretely observe the application of indigenous concepts in counseling practice. This media provides important implications and contributes to the strengthening and development of culturally grounded counseling models.

The low level of career decision-making ability among lower secondary students remains a critical issue, as it can hinder the formation of career pathways aligned with their interests and potential. Limited knowledge, insufficient information, and unclear career insights often lead to anxiety and uncertainty when students are required to make career-related choices, indicating the need for a structured and theory-based counselling intervention. This study aims to analyze the implementation procedures of Trait and Factor counselling services and to evaluate the content validity of the developed counselling guidebook. The research employed a development design using the 4D model. Participants included counselling experts, guidance and counselling teachers, and students involved in the limited trial phase. Data were collected through questionnaires using a content validity assessment instrument. The data were analyzed using content validity techniques and effectiveness testing through pre- and post-intervention assessments. The findings indicate that the Trait and Factor counselling guidebook possesses strong relevance and high content validity based on expert judgments, making it feasible for use as an intervention tool. Furthermore, the implementation of the Trait and Factor counselling approach demonstrated improvements in students’ career decision-making abilities, enabling them to make choices more confidently and purposefully. The study highlights the importance of utilizing theoretically grounded and validated guidebooks to support more structured and effective career counselling practices.

This research aims to examine the influence of multicultural personality and ethnic identity on the emotional regulation of students in the Guidance and Counseling Teacher Professional Education Program. This study uses a correlational quantitative approach. The research sample consisted of 90 students from professional teacher education programs who were selected taking into account gender, ethnicity and age diversity. Data were collected using three instrument scales: Multicultural Personality Scale (40 items), Ethnic Identity Scale (17 items), and Emotion Regulation Scale (30 items). The validity and reliability of all scales have been tested using the Rasch Model, showing valid results and very high reliability (Cronbach Alpha > 0.80). Data analysis was carried out using multiple correlation. The results of the analysis show that simultaneously, multicultural personality and ethnic identity have a significant effect on the emotional regulation of PPG BK students (Sig. = 0.00 < 0.05), with both predictors contributing substantial variance to emotional regulation abilities. The implications of this research indicate that developing multicultural awareness and strengthening ethnic identity in prospective guidance and counseling teachers can improve their ability to regulate emotions. Increasing this competency is important to support the effectiveness of guidance and counseling services in the context of multicultural education. It is hoped that these findings can become the basis for developing a PPG BK curriculum and training program that integrates multicultural competence and emotional regulation skills.

Self-confidence and learning motivation are essential factors in students’ learning success. Low levels of these factors can hinder learning effectiveness, highlighting the need for appropriate psychological interventions. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral counseling using cognitive restructuring techniques in simultaneously improving students’ self-confidence and learning motivation. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design. The research subjects were students with low levels of self-confidence and learning motivation. A total of 30 students were purposively selected from Grade VII and VIII based on pretest results. The intervention was conducted through group cognitive behavioral counseling sessions using cognitive restructuring techniques over eight sessions. Pretest and posttest data were collected using self-confidence and learning motivation questionnaires that had been tested and confirmed to be valid in terms of content validity and empirical validity, and reliable with a very high reliability category. Data were analyzed using the MANOVA test with the assistance of SPSS version 21.0. The results indicate that cognitive behavioral counseling using cognitive restructuring techniques is effective in simultaneously enhancing students’ self-confidence and learning motivation. These findings suggest that this approach can be applied as both a preventive and curative intervention by school counselors to support students’ learning readiness and academic success.

Final-year students often experience confusion in making career choices because they lack strong self-efficacy in choosing a career. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of parental support and intimate friendship on students' career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) and to identify the forms of contribution. This research employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. This research subjects were 202 students of Islamic Education Study Program (PAI), selected through a simple random sampling technique. Quantitative data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression using SmartPLS 4. Meanwhile, qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with six students and analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results showed that parental support and intimate friendship had a significant effect on students' CDMSE, contributing 59%. These findings indicate that the social environment, particularly the role of parents and intimate friendship serves as an important conceptual factor in shaping career decision making self-efficacy. The implications highlight the need for synergy among families, peers, and educational institutions to optimally develop students' career readiness.

The increasing imbalance between children’s screen time and family quality time has become a major parenting challenge in the digital era, affecting children’s social, emotional, and mental health development. This study aims to analyze the implications of screen time and quality time on parent–child relationships and to identify digital parenting strategies to balance both. The type of research used is qualitative with a library research approach. The research subjects consist of scientific literature published in reputable journals, academic books, and official documents from international education and health organizations. Data was collected through documentation techniques using a literature review instrument validated by experts. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and thematic analysis approaches. The research findings indicate that excessive screen time has a negative impact on the quality of parent-child relationships, emotional regulation, and children's social skills. Conversely, well-managed quality time has been proven to strengthen family emotional bonding and prevent relational dysfunction. Parental digital mediation strategies such as co-viewing, active mediation, and value-based restrictions have been proven effective in reducing the negative impacts of digital media. This study concludes that the balance between screen time and quality time needs to be consciously managed by parents. Implications include the need for family education policies and value-based digital parenting training within the local cultural context.

Final-year undergraduate students often encounter various obstacles during the process of completing their final projects, which may lead to both academic and psychological problems. One prevalent psychological issue is academic burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynical attitudes toward academic activities, and decreased academic achievement. Perfectionism and academic anxiety are considered two important factors contributing to the emergence of this condition. This study aims to analyze and examine the effects of perfectionism and academic anxiety on academic burnout among final-year undergraduate students engaged in completing their final projects. A quantitative approach with a multiple linear regression design was employed. The research participants consisted of 355 undergraduate students in the final project stage, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable instruments, including a perfectionism scale, an academic anxiety scale, and an academic burnout scale. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that perfectionism and academic anxiety simultaneously have a significant effect on academic burnout. These findings suggest that higher levels of perfectionism and academic anxiety increase students’ vulnerability to academic burnout. The results have important implications for the development of academic support services and psychological interventions to facilitate successful completion of students’ final projects.
