Abstract

Low levels of interpersonal communication skills among students frequently impede counseling effectiveness and social interaction in school settings. This research aimed to develop a counseling medium in the form of a board game, Ular Tangga SIAGA (SIAGA Snakes and Ladders), as an innovative tool to enhance students’ interpersonal communication, particularly aspects of openness and empathy. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. In the analysis phase, field studies were conducted through questionnaires and interviews with several stakeholders at SMP Negeri 1 Loa Janan to identify communication barriers. The media was then designed and developed using Canva and Microsoft Word, based on the identified counseling needs. During the development phase, the prototype was refined and prepared for expert validation. The evaluation phase involved validation by a Guidance and Counseling (BK) teacher, language experts for the truth or dare cards, and material experts to determine the media’s feasibility. The results indicated high validity scores for content (90%), media (80%), and educational aspects (92.4%). Quantitative observations further showed improvements in students’ openness and empathy during counseling interactions. Overall, Ular Tangga SIAGA demonstrates strong pedagogical feasibility and offers a culturally responsive, engaging, and safe medium for facilitating interpersonal communication in school counseling practices

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Development (PAUD-HI) program at Raudhatul Athfal (RA) institutions across West Sumatra Province. The PAUD-HI program is a national initiative designed to ensure comprehensive early childhood services through the integration of education, health, nutrition, parenting, and child protection within a unified framework. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, with data collected using an instrument developed based on the components outlined in the Guidelines for Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Development. The instrument was also validated by three experts in the field of early childhood education and holistic integrative programs to ensure content validity. The findings indicate that the highest level of implementation occurred in the education component (85%), followed by health, nutrition, and care (72%); family and community participation (70%); child protection and welfare (68%); and parenting and mental health (58%). The main barriers identified include limited training and socialization, incomplete understanding of the PAUD-HI concept, lack of supporting human resources such as health workers and child psychologists, low teacher competence in health and child protection, limited operational funding, and ineffective cross-sector coordination. The study concludes that the implementation of PAUD-HI in RA institutions across West Sumatra has shown progress, yet remains constrained by systemic factors such as human resource capacity, funding, and inter-agency coordination. Strengthening teacher training, operationalizing cross-sector partnerships, and providing sustainable financial support are recommended to ensure the effectiveness of holistic services in early childhood education.

Abstract

Academic stress constitutes a pervasive global challenge with measurable consequences for students' psychological well-being and academic performance. Despite the proliferation of counseling interventions across diverse educational contexts, a comprehensive synthesis of their effectiveness and cross-cultural applicability remains limited. This study aims to identify global trends of effective counseling interventions to deal with students' academic stress at various levels of education. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by following the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) through a literature search in the Scopus database. The initial identification process resulted in 269 articles published in the range of 2020-2025, and after going through a gradual process, there were 10 articles that met the criteria for analysis. The findings show that various interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Group Counseling, Stress Management Programs, and Commitment Therapy have been proven to be effective in reducing students' academic stress. Among these, MBI emerged as a promising approach with consistent positive outcomes across multiple cultural contexts, evidenced by significant effect sizes (e.g., d=0.62–0.84) in three independent studies conducted in Indonesia, the United States, and China. These findings can be a reference for counselors in implementing evidence-based counseling services through group formats and digital platforms that are in accordance with the cultural context of students.

Abstract

This study evaluated differences in depression, anxiety, and stress across grade levels among students in a cadet-based boarding senior high school. The study employed a quantitative approach with a comparative design, involving 423 students from grades X, XI, and XII, with an equal distribution of respondents across each grade. Data were collected using the 42-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-42) to measure the three psychological dimensions. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and group comparison tests, specifically applying analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Welch tests based on data distribution characteristics, followed by the Games-Howell post hoc test for variables demonstrating significant variations. The findings revealed that grade-level differences emerged exclusively for depression. Grade XI students reported higher mean depression scores (M = 6.45, SD = 7.73) than grade X students (M = 4.35, SD = 5.62), as indicated by Welch’s F (2, 275.7) = 3.62, p = .028, with the Games–Howell test confirming a significant difference between grade X and grade XI (p = .027). Anxiety and stress did not differ significantly across grade levels. Across all grades, group mean scores for the three dimensions remained within the normal-to-mild ranges of the DASS-42 norms. This study concludes that student mental health dimensions in a cadet-based boarding school environment do not develop uniformly across grade levels. Consequently, guidance and counseling services must strengthen promotive and preventive initiatives that are highly responsive to students' specific developmental phases, particularly focusing on monitoring depressive symptoms among more vulnerable student groups.

Abstract

The career adaptability of female high school students in Islamic boarding schools is a crucial aspect of building their readiness to navigate complex workforce dynamics. However, empirical studies focusing on this specific demographic remain remarkably scarce. This study addresses this literature gap by quantitatively assessing career adaptability levels to understand their unique developmental needs. Employing a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected from 175 female high school students across four Islamic boarding schools in Yogyakarta. The assessment utilized the Indonesian Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (ID-CAAS). Descriptive statistical analysis reveals that the overall career adaptability of these students predominantly falls within the moderate category (42.3%). Notably, while the students exhibited strong capacities in the concern and confidence dimensions, indicating a positive future orientation and self-belief significant vulnerabilities emerged in their autonomy and exploration. Specifically, 38.3% of the students scored in the low to very low categories for the control dimension, and 30.2% for the curiosity dimension. These empirical findings expose a critical readiness gap. Despite possessing a foundational awareness of their future, the students significantly lack the independent decision-making skills and exploratory initiative necessary for optimal career development. This limitation is heavily influenced by the restrictive environment and hierarchical culture of the boarding schools. Consequently, this study concludes that conventional career guidance methods are insufficient. It underscores the urgent need to design structured, context-sensitive interventions, such as independent career exploration media and community-facilitated guidance, to optimally strengthen the career autonomy and adaptive readiness of female high school students in Islamic boarding schools

Abstract

Junior high school students confront diverse academic challenges, including examinations, unsatisfactory academic performance, and increasingly demanding curriculum requirements. In navigating these obstacles, academic grit serves as a vital psychological characteristic that enables students to maintain persistence. This study examines the influence of teachers’ emotional support on students’ academic grit among public junior high school students in Kupang City. Employing a quantitative approach with a causal research design, the study involved 316 students selected via proportional stratified random sampling. Data were gathered using the Teacher Emotional Support Scale and the Academic Grit Scale, and subsequently analyzed through simple linear regression using SPSS version 22. The results indicate that teachers’ emotional support exerts a significant positive influence on students’ academic grit (p < 0.05). Specifically, teachers’ emotional support accounts for 29.5% of the variance in academic grit, while the remaining 70.5% is explained by factors outside the scope of this investigation. These findings underscore the critical role that supportive teacher-student interactions play in cultivating perseverance, tenacity, and resilience in academic activities. From a practical perspective, these results suggest that guidance counselors and subject teachers should strengthen emotionally supportive interactions and enhance the classroom environment to foster students’ academic grit and improve their capacity to cope with academic challenges.

Abstract

Knowledge sharing behavior is essential in-service organizations, where service quality heavily depends on employees' ability to exchange work experience, job-related information, and practical solutions. This study examines the effect of self-efficacy on knowledge sharing behavior and investigates the mediating role of the Big Five personality dimensions among contract employees at PT Prima Karya Sarana Sejahtera (PKSS) in Medan City. The Big Five personality traits were selected as mediators because personality characteristics influence how employees translate self-efficacy into workplace behaviors, such as knowledge sharing. Adopting an explanatory quantitative design, data were collected from 300 contract employees who had participated in job-related training; the data were subsequently analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that self-efficacy exerts a positive effect on knowledge sharing behavior. Furthermore, all five personality dimensions mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and knowledge sharing behavior, with conscientiousness emerging as the strongest pathway, followed by openness, extraversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a comprehensive mediation model that simultaneously evaluates all Big Five personality dimensions as parallel mechanisms linking self-efficacy to knowledge sharing behavior. These findings contribute to knowledge management and organizational psychology by demonstrating that knowledge sharing is shaped not only by employee confidence but also by personality-driven behavioral mechanisms

Abstract

Generation Z vocational high school students encounter complex academic and social pressures that frequently induce overwhelm and overachievement tendencies, thereby elevating their risk of academic stress. This study evaluated the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring-based group counseling in reducing academic stress among Generation Z students in a vocational high school context. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, the study purposively selected nine tenth-grade students from the Fashion Department at SMKN 3 Cimahi who exhibited high levels of academic stress. Quantitative data were gathered using an academic stress questionnaire based on Gadzella’s theory and analyzed via the Shapiro-Wilk test and paired samples t-test. The findings revealed that the cognitive restructuring intervention significantly reduced academic stress, as evidenced by a mean score decrease from 75 (high category) to 45 (low category), with a p-value of 0.000 (t = 57.553; df = 8). These results indicate that cognitive restructuring-based group counseling serves as an effective, evidence-based guidance strategy, enabling Generation Z students to develop emotional regulation, adaptive cognitive patterns, and coping skills to mitigate academic pressures in vocational education

Abstract

Emotional communication within the family plays a critical role in supporting children’s psychological well-being. However, expressions of affection are not always interpreted similarly by parents and children, creating emotional gaps within relationships. This study explored emotional gaps in affectionate communication within Minangkabau families from the simultaneous perspectives of parents, children, and teachers. Employing a qualitative exploratory-descriptive design, data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 12 parents, 6 primary school children, and 6 primary school teachers selected via purposive sampling, and analyzed using inductive reflexive thematic analysis. The findings revealed a distinct discrepancy between parental intentions and children’s emotional experiences. Parents tended to manifest affection through discipline, responsibility, and behavioral control, whereas children conceptualized affection through emotional presence, safety, attention, and warm communication. Limited emotional availability and dominant, anger-based parental responses prompted children to develop protective strategies, such as remaining silent, avoiding interaction, and seeking external emotional support. Teachers observed that these domestic dynamics subsequently affected children’s behavior, emotional well-being, and learning motivation within the school environment, highlighting emotional gaps as a cross-contextual relational phenomenon spanning both family and school systems. The novelty of this research lies in its multiperspective framework, which integrates the viewpoints of parents, children, and teachers to understand affectionate communication within the Minangkabau cultural context. Ultimately, these findings underscore the necessity of emotional presence in parenting and suggest a need for sensitive collaboration between families and schools, while providing an empirical foundation for culturally responsive family counseling and parenting education programs.

Abstract

Consultation services are a critical component of school guidance, requiring systematic evaluation to ensure quality and accountability. This study evaluated the implementation of consultation services at SMA Negeri Taruna Nala, East Java, using Provus’s (1971) Discrepancy Evaluation Model. A mixed-methods design was employed; quantitative data were collected via a 100-item instrument using a 1–7 Likert scale, while qualitative data were gathered through unstructured interviews. The subject was one school counselor with 20 years of professional experience. The baseline standard applied was Standard 3, Criterion 6 of ABKIN, adopted from the South Carolina Guidance and Counseling Program Model. The results revealed a total score of 679 out of 700 (97.00%), indicating full implementation. Aspect-level analysis showed high implementation across dimensions: Organization (97.86%), Planning (95.71%), Design (100%), Implementation (98.57%), and Evaluation (92.86%). Notably, item 24 (selective planning) scored 1, demonstrating that establishing written criteria for cases requiring formal consultation remains a key area for improvement. Item 71 (principal involvement) scored 5, indicating partial implementation, while ten items in the Evaluation aspect scored 6, highlighting opportunities to strengthen evaluation through systematic standardization. As a single-case evaluation, these findings describe the practices of one counselor and cannot be generalized to broader institutional services. Additionally, the evaluation relied solely on the counselor's self-reports without integrating perspectives from other stakeholders, such as the principal, homeroom teachers, or parents
