Abstract

Student well-being is a crucial factor influencing academic engagement, psychological adjustment, and overall success in higher education, particularly during the first year of study when students face significant academic and social transitions. First-year students often experience challenges such as adapting to new learning environments, managing academic demands, and building social connections, which can affect their psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze and explore the level of well-being among first-year students in the Guidance and Counseling program. Using a survey design, the research involved 188 active first-year students selected from five student cohorts. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of 18 items measured on a 4-point Likert scale, and analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that 77% of students fall within the moderate category of well-being, 20% in the high category, and 3% in the low category. Conceptually, these findings suggest that the majority of students maintain an adequate level of psychological well-being, yet there remains a considerable proportion requiring targeted support. The study concludes that enhancing responsive self-development programs is essential to strengthen the psychological well-being of first-year students during their academic transition.

Abstract

Character education in schools often faces challenges in internalizing values through real-life experiences. Limited student engagement makes character education less meaningful. This study aims to describe the implementation of character education through the Community Service Program (Sekolah Kerja Nyata, SKN) and to identify the values it fosters. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, supervising teachers, and students. The results show that SKN successfully fostered values such as responsibility, cooperation, social awareness, independence, and religiosity. Students demonstrated improvements in discipline, communication skills, and leadership through participation in social activities. The program aligns with experiential character education approaches that emphasize social interaction as a means of value formation. The study concludes that SKN is an effective model of character education by integrating academic learning and attitude development through direct engagement. SKN also has the potential to be adopted as a co-curricular activity within the new curriculum structure, as it supports cross-disciplinary learning and character development through contextual, project-based approaches. These findings provide a foundation for developing similar programs in other schools to strengthen character formation relevant to real life.

Abstract

The low level of student initiative, despite relatively high levels of empathy and resilience, presents a significant challenge in character development at the secondary level, as it has the potential to hinder independence, proactive behavior, and readiness to meet both academic and life demands. This study aims to analyze the relationship between initiative, empathy, and resilience, while also identifying their implications for strategies to strengthen student character. Employing a quantitative descriptive correlational design, the research involved 300 respondents using an 18-item questionnaire that was both valid and reliable (Cronbach’s α = 0.86–0.90). Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test. The findings indicate that empathy ranked highest, followed by resilience, while initiative ranked lowest, highlighting the need for interventions to foster autonomy and proactive behavior. A strong positive correlation was found among the three variables, particularly between initiative and resilience (r = 0.79), indicating interdependence. These results recommend enhancing empathy through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), resilience through counseling, and initiative through independent projects and coaching, in alignment with the Pancasila Student Profile (Profil Pelajar Pancasila) and the World Economic Forum’s character taxonomy, to support students’ holistic development.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students on the topic of plant parts in fourth-grade elementary school, which is caused by the limited use of engaging learning media that suit the students’ characteristics. The purpose of this study is to develop interactive learning videos to improve students’ learning outcomes. The development model used is the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects of this study were 18 fourth-grade students. The data collection methods and instruments used in this development research included questionnaires and multiple-choice tests. The data analysis techniques employed were qualitative descriptive, quantitative, and inferential. The results of the study indicate that the interactive learning videos developed were effective in improving students’ learning outcomes, as evidenced by the increase in average scores and positive responses from the students regarding the learning process. The implications of this study suggest that interactive video media can be an appropriate solution for teaching science, especially for visually-oriented topics, and can encourage teachers to be more innovative in designing technology-based learning.

Abstract

The low level of students’ responsibility character, attributed to the dominance of conventional teaching methods, highlights the need for innovative learning models grounded in local culture that can meaningfully instill character values. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Picture and Picture model assisted by the traditional game sepit-sepitan on the responsibility character of elementary school students. A quasi-experimental approach was employed, using a non-equivalent control group design. The study involved 30 students selected through cluster random sampling, consisting of 17 students in the experimental group and 13 in the control group. Data were collected using an observation sheet measuring responsibility character on a dichotomous scale. The data were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. The analysis revealed that tcount = 2.90 exceeded ttable = 2.048 at the 5% significance level, indicating that H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted. These results suggest that the Picture and Picture model assisted by the sepit-sepitan game has a significant positive effect on improving students' responsibility character. The findings imply that the integration of culturally-based learning models can serve as an effective and enjoyable strategy for strengthening character education from an early age.
