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 aimed to examine 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. The participants were 423 students from grades X, XI, and XII, with an equal number of respondents in each grade. Data were collected using the 42-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-42), which measures three psychological dimensions: depression, anxiety, and stress. Data analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics and group comparison tests using ANOVA and Welch tests according to the characteristics of the data, followed by the Games-Howell test for variables showing significant differences. The findings revealed that grade-level differences emerged only 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), Welch’s F(2, 275.7) = 3.62, p = .028, with the Games–Howell test confirming a significant grade X–grade XI difference (p = .027); anxiety and stress did not differ significantly across grades. Across all grades, the group mean scores for the three dimensions remained within the normal-to-mild range of the DASS-42 norms. This study concludes that students’ mental health dimensions in a cadet-based boarding school do not develop uniformly across grade levels. Therefore, guidance and counseling services need to strengthen promotive and preventive efforts that are more responsive to students’ developmental phases, particularly in monitoring depressive symptoms among more vulnerable groups
