Abstract

Purpose—The preparation period for prospective teachers at the Teacher Training Institute begins with preparing them to navigate the digital era. Digital literacy is a crucial competency that needs to be effectively developed during this period. This study aimed to evaluate the opportunities and obstacles associated with preparing prospective teachers for the digital era by examining their digital literacy profiles.Methodology—This research employed a quantitative descriptive research design involving 250 students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Timor University. We conducted the research in three stages: preparation, implementation, and final. The research data, obtained through a digital literacy questionnaire, underwent quantitative descriptive analysis.Findings – The study's results indicated that prospective teachers' average digital literacy score was 73.86, with 60% of respondents falling into the "good" category. However, only 13.6% of respondents exhibited digital literacy in the "outstanding" category. We classified 26.4% of respondents as "fairly good," "bad," and "very bad." This variation suggests a gap that must be rectified by optimizing internal factors, such as student self-awareness, and external factors, such as technology-based training and increased access to digital devices. The curriculum for prospective teacher education should prioritize the enhancement of digital literacy.Significance—Consequently, to establish an environment that motivates the enhancement of digital literacy, it is imperative that educational institutions, the government, and the private sector collaborate. Internally, Teacher Training Institutions must ensure the development and implementation of project-based curricula that effectively integrate technology to prepare prospective teachers for digital literacy and 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Purpose – This research explores the role of mindfulness counseling in reducing episodes of mania and depression in clients diagnosed with bipolar disorder within the context of Islamic higher education institutions. The study is framed within Kabat-Zinn’s theory of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which emphasizes present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance alongside the emotional regulation strategies from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) by Marsha Linehan. These frameworks were employed to support participants in managing emotional fluctuations and building coping strategies during counseling.Methodology – Using a multiple case study approach, three participants with a history of severe mood instability participated in eight weeks of mindfulness counseling sessions. These sessions integrated core mindfulness techniques, including body scanning, breath awareness, mindfulness meditation, and guided visualization. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and participant self-reports using mood-tracking journals.Findings – The findings indicated significant improvements across all three participants, including a marked reduction in the frequency and intensity of manic and depressive episodes. Participants demonstrated increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and developed coping strategies for managing mood triggers. They reported a greater sense of control over their thought patterns and an enhanced sense of psychological resilience. This study highlights the effectiveness of mindfulness counseling as a promising adjunctive therapy for managing bipolar disorder.Contribution—By integrating mindfulness techniques within the context of counseling, participants were equipped with practical tools that contributed to their emotional stability and long-term psychological well-being. This research supports the potential of mindfulness practices to offer valuable support for individuals with bipolar disorder, especially in the setting of Islamic higher education institutions.
