Abstract

Background: The transformation of modern industry requires students to be mentally prepared for the workforce; therefore, educational institutions must ensure that character development and psychological resilience are integral components of the learning process. Aim: This study aims to analyze the level of students' mental readiness in facing the industrial world, compare differences in readiness based on regional background, and examine the contribution of character education to the reinforcement of work Readiness. Method: The research employed a descriptive-comparative quantitative approach with a sample of students from urban and rural backgrounds. The measurement instrument used a mental readiness scale encompassing dimensions of self-confidence, resilience, emotional regulation, and adaptability. Results and Discussion: The results indicate that the majority of students fall into the high mental readiness category, with a higher proportion of urban students than rural students. These findings are consistent with the literature, which suggests that differences in access to education, exposure to technology, and social experiences influence individuals' psychological readiness. Conclusions: The study concludes that character education plays a significant role in shaping mental readiness and can be integrated into higher education, industrial guidance, and counseling programs. This research recommends developing character-based counseling interventions and industry practice experiences to strengthen students' readiness to enter the professional world.

Abstract

Background: The increasingly complex development of the industrial world requires university graduates to possess strong mental readiness and well-internalized character. The gap between academic competence and psychological readiness remains a critical issue in higher education. Aim: This study aims to analyze the effect of character education on students’ mental readiness in facing the industrial world when viewed from economic status. Method: This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design. Data were collected through the distribution of Likert-scale questionnaires to 200 active university students. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistical analysis and correlation testing. Result and Discussions: The results indicate that the majority of students fall into the high mental readiness category, while levels of character education are predominantly in the moderate to high categories. The discussion of the findings suggests a positive relationship between character education and mental readiness, particularly among students with middle and high economic status. Conclusion: This study concludes that character education plays a significant role in building students’ mental readiness. Recommendations are aimed at strengthening context-based, character-based learning designs and advancing intervention-based research.

Abstract

Background: The workforce's cultural diversity is a social reality increasingly prominent in the industrial world and has direct implications for the need for guidance and counseling services. Aim: This study analyzes the characteristics of the workforce's cultural background and their implications for the development of adaptive, multicultural industrial guidance and counseling services. Method: The research uses a descriptive, quantitative approach with labor subjects from various ethnic backgrounds. Data were collected through demographic questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics to illustrate the distribution of respondents' cultural characteristics. Results and Discussion: The results showed a dominance of local culture alongside the diversity of minority cultural groups, which affected work values, career orientation, and the need for counseling services. The discussion revealed that industry guidance and counseling need to integrate local cultural values while implementing a multicultural approach to make services more inclusive and contextual. The study's conclusions confirm that the effectiveness of industry guidance and counseling is largely determined by counselors' cultural sensitivity and multicultural competence. Conclusion: This study recommends developing a guidance and industry counseling model grounded in local context and cultural diversity, and conducting follow-up research with a more comprehensive design.

Abstract

Background: Psychological safety is essential in early childhood education, particularly for kindergarten children who often rely on non-verbal modes of expression to communicate their emotions. Traditional counseling approaches may not fully meet the developmental needs of young learners, highlighting the need for expressive, child-centered methods within school guidance and counseling programs. Aim: This study investigates how group art activities can foster the creation of emotionally and socially safe learning environments for kindergarten children and how these activities can be effectively integrated into school guidance and counseling practices. Method: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using PRISMA guidelines to synthesize empirical research published between 2014 and 2024 on safe learning environments, expressive arts, and counseling in early childhood settings. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach. Results and Dıscussion: The reviewed studies indicate that group art activities provide developmentally appropriate pathways for emotional expression and contribute to children's sense of psychological safety. Drawing, painting, and collage-making enable children to express emotions non-verbally, thereby reducing anxiety and facilitating emotional regulation. Collaborative artmaking also promotes social safety by enhancing peer cooperation, empathy, and supportive interactions. Furthermore, several studies have shown that integrating art into guidance and counseling sessions helps counselors identify emotional needs and build rapport with young children. Conclusion: Group art activities have the potential to enhance safe space education in kindergarten by supporting emotional expression and strengthening peer relationships within counseling contexts. However, the evidence base remains limited, and more research, particularly longitudinal and intervention-based studies, is needed to clarify the conditions under which art-based approaches most effectively promote emotional and social safety.

Abstract

Background: The rapid development of digital technology has increased distractions that negatively affect students’ concentration during learning. While previous studies have widely examined the impact of digital distraction on students’ academic performance, limited research has specifically explored school counselors’ professional experiences in addressing students’ concentration problems in digitally saturated learning environments. Aim; This study aims to explore school counselors' experiences in addressing students’ concentration problems in the era of digital distraction. The study employed a qualitative narrative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving three school counselors at junior and senior high school levels in Kerinci Regency. Method: Data were analyzed using Riessman’s narrative analysis model. The findings reveal three interrelated themes. First, digital distractions such as smartphone notifications, online games, and social media are perceived as the primary sources of students’ concentration problems. Second, counselors emphasize strengthening students’ self-regulation through time management, control of digital device use, and mindfulness as central counseling strategies. Third, the sustainability of behavioral change in learning concentration depends on collaboration among counselors, teachers, and parents. This study contributes theoretically by enriching narrative counseling perspectives in understanding digital distraction as a systemic issue in school contexts. Practically, it provides experience-based strategic implications for school counseling interventions to improve students’ learning concentration in the digital era.

Abstract

Background: Many junior high school students exhibit low assertiveness, particularly in expressing opinions, resisting negative peer pressure, and maintaining interpersonal boundaries, which may hinder their socio-emotional development. Aim: This study examined the urgency and effectiveness of structured peer counseling as an intervention to improve assertive behavior among junior high school students. Method: The research employed a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control-group design involving 62 students, divided into an experimental and a control group. The intervention consisted of structured peer counseling sessions emphasizing active listening, empathy, modeling, and role-playing of assertive communication. Assertive behavior was measured using a four-point Likert scale instrument administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to determine differences between pretest and posttest scores. Results and Discussion: The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group (Z = -4.643, p < 0.001) with a large effect size (r = 0.60), indicating meaningful behavioral change following peer counseling. In contrast, the control group did not show a significant improvement (Z = -1.924, p = 0.054). These results suggest that structured peer counseling provides an effective developmental context for practicing assertive communication skills through peer interaction and social modeling. Conclusion: The study confirms the urgent need for assertive behavior intervention in junior high schools and demonstrates that structured peer counseling is an effective approach to enhancing students' assertiveness, providing empirical support for its integration into school guidance and counseling programs.

Abstract

Background: The increasing use of social media among adolescents raises concerns about its impact on learning concentration. Students widely use TikTok because it offers engaging, easily accessible short videos. Aim: This study analyzes the relationship between TikTok use and learning concentration among early adolescents. Method: The study used a quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional design. The study population comprised N = 193 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Kotagajah, with a sample of N = 138 selected via cluster sampling. Data collection was conducted using the Social Media Engagement Scale for Adolescents (SMES-A) with 11 items and a learning concentration scale with 28 items. Data analysis used product-moment correlation and simple linear regression. Results and Discussion: The results showed a correlation coefficient of -0.030 with a p-value of 0.725 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between the intensity of TikTok use and students' learning concentration. The regression results also showed that social media use accounted for only 0.1% of the variation in learning concentration. Conclusion: This finding indicates that social media use is not the main factor influencing students' learning concentration, as it is also influenced by other factors, such as learning motivation, interest in the subject, and the learning environment.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood parenting represents a crucial phase in family development that requires a high level of emotional involvement from parents. During this period, parents face various parenting demands related to meeting children’s physical needs as well as supporting their emotional and social development. Such conditions may increase the risk of parenting stress, particularly when parents experience difficulties regulating their emotions or lack adequate support from their social environment. Aim: Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of emotion regulation on parenting stress among parents of young children and to examine the moderating role of social support in this relationship. Method: This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey parents of students at RA Muslimat NU 07 as research participants. Data were collected using three standardized psychological instruments: the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to measure parents’ emotion regulation, the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) to assess the level of parenting stress, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to measure perceived social support. Data analysis was conducted using simple regression to examine the direct effects of emotion regulation and social support on parenting stress. Result and Disscussions: The results indicate that emotion regulation and social support do not have a significant simultaneous effect on parenting stress (F = 0.357; p = 0.701; R² = 0.011). Partially, emotion regulation (p = 0.866) and social support (p = 0.486) also do not show a significant effect on parenting stress. Furthermore, the moderation test reveals that the interaction between emotion regulation and social support is not significant (p = 0.387), indicating that social support does not function as a moderating variable in this relationship. Conclusion: These findings suggest that emotion regulation and social support are not the main determinants of parenting stress among parents of young children in this study, indicating that other factors may play a more dominant role in influencing parenting stress beyond the variables examined.
