<![CDATA[Along with the times, human problems are also increasingly complex. In the era of society 5.0, human problems, especially clients in counseling services, are also increasingly complex and unique. These problems need to be studied to determine the focus of counseling services by counselors. This study aims to explore the focus of counseling services in the era of Society 5.0. We use the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to explore the focus of counseling services in accordance with the current era. We examine various literature published since 1971 to the latest literature that discusses the focus of counseling services. We examine the literature to find out the development of focus in counseling services from time to time. The results of this study indicate that there are five counseling service focuses that need to be considered by counselors in the era of Society 5.0, namely insights and attitudes toward clients, counseling service objectives, counseling service settings, technical implementation of counseling services, and evaluation of counseling services. The focus of counseling services has remained the same from time to time, but only the context of the focus of counseling services continues to experience development.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to develop a brief scale that can measure adaptation skills in learning among university students. Adaptation skills are essential for facing challenges in the dynamic educational environment. The developed scale consists of five items covering indicators such as the ability to cope with change, openness to new experiences, stress management, learning independence, and collaboration skills. The Adaptation Theory by Schunk and Zimmerman (2012) serves as the foundation for the development of this scale. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to students across various study programs, and analysis was conducted to test the scale’s validity and reliability. Validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis with factor loadings, while reliability was measured using Cronbach's Alpha. The results show that this scale has good validity and reliability, making it suitable for evaluating students' adaptation skills. These findings are expected to provide insights for the development of educational programs that support the enhancement of students’ adaptation skills in their learning process.]]>

<![CDATA[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan gambaran kohesi sosial mahasiswa Papua di Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan teknik sampling jenuh, melibatkan 28 mahasiswa Papua yang tergabung dalam organisasi kedaerahan di UNP. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan instrumen skala kohesi sosial dan dianalisis melalui bantuan perangkat lunak SPSS, termasuk uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kohesi sosial mahasiswa Papua berada pada kategori sedang, dengan persentase rata-rata sebesar 57% dari skor ideal. Seluruh responden berada pada kategori ini, tanpa ada yang termasuk dalam kategori sangat tinggi, tinggi, rendah, maupun sangat rendah. Temuan ini mengindikasikan adanya rasa kebersamaan yang cukup kuat di antara mahasiswa Papua dan lingkungannya, namun belum berkembang secara optimal dalam interaksi sosial yang lebih luas di lingkungan kampus. Faktor budaya, tekanan sebagai kelompok minoritas, serta dinamika interaksi sosial di lingkungan akademik turut mempengaruhi kondisi tersebut. Penelitian ini menyarankan pentingnya intervensi yang mendukung integrasi sosial lintas budaya di perguruan tinggi untuk meningkatkan kohesi sosial mahasiswa Papua secara lebih menyeluruh. Penelitian ini memunculkan novelty yang kuat untuk riset ethnic khususnya mahasiswa papua di UNP.]]>
