Abstract

This phenomenological study explored the meaning of mindfulness in the daily lives of university students. In-depth interviews were conducted with three active students at UIN Salatiga to understand how mindfulness is perceived and experienced in the academic, emotional, and social contexts. Using descriptive-interpretative analysis based on Giorgi’s “whole–part–whole” method, five essential themes were identified: present-moment awareness, emotional self-regulation, self-acceptance, adaptive coping, and reflective growth. The findings reveal that mindfulness is not merely a stress management technique but an existential and developmental process that simultaneously strengthens self-awareness, emotional resilience, and identity development as an integrated outcome. Participants demonstrated the ability to stay grounded in the present moment, consciously regulate their emotions, and make decisions aligned with personal and social values reflecting the dynamic formation of their identity. This study underscores the importance of developing mindfulness-based psychoeducational programs within higher education to holistically support students’ mental well-being, self-understanding, and personal growth, including the process of identity development.

Abstract

The rapid integration of social media into students’ academic, social, and personal lives underscores the need for valid and reliable instruments to assess social media competence. Understanding this competence is crucial, as social media is not only a communication tool but also a source of information, a space for self-expression, and a domain for identity formation. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Social Media Competence Scale for College Students (SMC-CS) into Bahasa Indonesia. The adaptation process followed standardized cross-cultural procedures, including translation, expert review for content validity, conceptual alignment, and pilot testing. A total of 728 university students aged 17–25 years from various Indonesian institutions participated in this study. Data analysis was conducted using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the MLM estimator to address multivariate non-normality. The Indonesian version of the SMC-CS demonstrated a four-factor structure—Technical Usability, Content Interpretation, Content Generation, and Affective Regulation—with strong reliability (CR > 0.83) and acceptable convergent validity (AVE ≥ 0.47). These findings provide evidence that the adapted instrument is both valid and reliable for assessing college students’ social media competence in the Indonesian context. Keywords: College students, confirmatory factor analysis, cross-cultural adaptation, social media competence scale.

Abstract

This narrative review explores how Muslim parents of children with disabilities draw on religious coping (RC) to navigate parenting challenges. The literature search covered three major international databases and manual sources, yielding 136 articles published between 2011 and 2025. In the end, 13 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The quality and narrative suitability of the articles were evaluated using the SANRA (Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles) protocol. The review identified three main themes: (1) the types of RC strategies used by Muslim parents, (2) the factors influencing their use of RC, and (3) the impact of RC on well-being and parenting practices. Overall, RC plays an essential role in helping Muslim parents adapt, manage stress, cultivate inner peace, and maintain a sense of meaning and hope in their parenting journey. It also supports the development of positive attitudes, strengthens moral responsibility, and enhances overall well-being. This review underscores the importance of integrating religious perspectives into psychosocial support for families of children with disabilities in Muslim communities.

Abstract

The Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) is a qualitative research method employed to elicit individuals' subconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences by exploring metaphors. This systematic review, encompassing 47 studies published between 2019 and 2023, demonstrates that ZMET is frequently utilised within marketing and tourism, focusing primarily on perception, experience, and meaning. Principal findings indicate that the modifications to Storytelling and Missed Images are the most commonly implemented, whilst combinations with in-depth interviews and grounded theory are prevalent. Thematic analysis identified five principal themes: experience and emotion, meaning and perception, identity and self, values and beliefs, and decision-making. ZMET effectively investigated these themes, particularly within contexts involving complex emotions and experiences. This review concludes that ZMET remains a relevant and adaptable method within qualitative research. Its core strength lies in its capacity to uncover hidden layers of meaning, whilst its weaknesses pertain to analytical complexity and potential subjectivity. Implications and recommendations for best practice, including the necessity for meticulous planning, comprehensive interviewer training, and robust data triangulation, are also discussed concerning the future development and application of ZMET.

Abstract

This study explores how lecturers and undergraduates perceive, experience, and navigate psychological engagement, motivation, and cognitive load online Transactional Collaborative Learning (TCL), highlighting its benefits, challenges, and psychological impact on student learning experiences in higher education. The study used Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as a qualitative research method that facilitates in-depth exploration of participants’ experiences, perceptions, and attitudes regarding a particular phenomenon. The participants in this research were ten lecturers and twenty-four undergraduate students selected purposively. The study focuses on how the online TCL environment affects psychological variables related to teaching and learning.  From the results of the thematic analysis, four final themes were obtained, including 1) learning models and strategies in online TCL; 2) effective learning models in online TCL; 3) factors influencing the success of online TCL; 4) psychological impacts of online TCL. Findings show that flexible content delivery, interactive discussions, and quizzes enhance student engagement, knowledge retention, and digital literacy. However, challenges such as technological limitations and the lack of guidance and support from lecturers hinder the success of online TCL. While this approach fosters motivation, self-confidence, and adaptability, cognitive load remains a concern. Strengthening digital infrastructure and interactive teaching strategies is key to optimizing online TCL. The implication of the study is further discussed. Keywords: Cognitive load, lectures, motivation, online transactional collaborative learning, psychological engagement undergraduate students

Abstract

The growing participation of mothers in the workforce in Indonesia is increasing the demand for external support in managing both family and occupational responsibilities. Grandparental participation in childcare represents a potential form of support even though the positive effects can be mediated rather than direct. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of parenting stress as a mediator in the relationship between grandparental support and work-family conflict (WFC) among working mothers. The adoption of the quantitative method led to the collection of data specifically using online questionnaires. The samples consisted of 174 working mothers aged 21–50 years across Indonesia who had children aged 0–12 years and received a minimum of 12 hours of childcare support per week from grandparents selected through a purposive sampling method. The questionnaires were filled out through the modified Parenting Support Scale, the WFC Scale, and the Parental Stress Scale. The data were analyzed using PROCESS Macro v4.3 by Hayes and the results showed that the parenting support from grandparents significantly reduced parenting stress and subsequently lowered WFC. Parenting stress also fully mediated the relationship between the support from grandparents and WFC. These results emphasized the importance of extended family support particularly from grandparents in mitigating psychological burdens and facilitating work-life integration among working mothers in Indonesia.

Abstract

The study was on master students’ perception on plagiarism during research writing in the Faculty of Education. This study answered and tested four research questions and six hypotheses at a 0.05 significant level. The study used Imo State University (IMSU) and the University of Port Harcourt (UPH), a descriptive survey design, 276 master students’ population, and a sample size of 95 students drawn through a stratified random sampling technique. The instrument was a 37-item Questionnaire on Ethical Issues and Plagiarism in the Faculty of Education (QETPFE) with a 0.85 reliability index. Data analyses were done through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and t-tests. The findings showed that the master’s students in the Faculty of Education at IMSU and UPH have positive perceptions of the ethical rules governing people’s work usage during thesis writing; the perception differed significantly based on gender but was insignificant on an institutional basis. Their plagiarism consequences awareness level was high, irrespective of gender and institution. The male and female students in the Faculty of Education of both universities can paraphrase referenced materials themselves without paying someone for it and use online paraphrasing tools to re-write referenced materials in their theses. The findings implied that female students are more prone to plagiarism than male students. The recommendation, among others, was that postgraduate lecturers emphasize the need for male and female students to adhere strictly to the ethical standards governing other authors’ intellectual property usage. Keywords: Ethical issues, intellectual property, plagiarism, plagiarism checking tools, and research writing.

Abstract

Career adaptability (CA) is conceptualized within career construction theory (CCT) as a composite of four dimensions: concern, control, curiosity, and confidence. It serves as a critical psychosocial resource. It enables individuals, particularly university students, to navigate developmental tasks, career transitions, and emerging challenges within the rapidly evolving Industry 5.0 landscape. However, the gaps within the existing studies show the unidentified of the relationship between career development programs and students’ CA. Therefore, this study was conducted using a systematic review framework employing thematic synthesis. It integrates evidence from 18 empirical studies published between 2019 and 2024 that focused on university and late-adolescent populations across diverse cultural and educational contexts. Findings revealed the structured career development programs incorporates experiential learning, reflective practice, and social support mechanisms. These consistently enhance students’ adaptability, although the magnitude of effectiveness varies according to program design, duration, and contextual fit. The futher synthesis identified three overarching clusters of influencing factors: (1) personal motivational factors such as proactive personality, grit, and career self-efficacy; (2) socio-contextual factors including parental autonomy support and age-related stereotypes; and (3) digital behavioral factors, such as short-video overuse. By systematically integrating insights from both CCT and social cognitive career theory (SCCT), this review study advances prior literature that significantly treated these frameworks in isolation or focused on general populations without contextualizing interventions for students. Conceptually, this study maps the interaction of multilevel determinants in shaping adaptive career readiness; methodologically, it provides an evidence-based synthesis of program characteristics linked to measurable adaptability outcomes. Practically, the findings underscore the necessity of designing holistic, context-sensitive, and evidence-driven career development programs that address psychological, social, and digital dimensions of adaptability. Therefore, higher education institutions (HEIs) are encouraged to embed experiential, reflective, and digital-literacy components within career centers to foster sustainable adaptability aligned with the dynamic demands of the Industry 5.0 workforce.
