Abstract

This study looks at how important counseling is for improving the emotional and social health of young children. We evaluated previous research in this area through a review of the literature, highlighting the benefits of counseling in the child's early developmental stages. This study found that timely and targeted counseling interventions in early childhood can improve emotional well-being, social development, and academic achievement. The focus of such interventions is often a counseling approach that is play-based, involves the family, and supports the child's independence. Counseling has also been shown to help young children avoid more serious behavioral or emotional problems in the future. The practical implications of these findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to supporting early childhood development and highlight the need for investment in mentoring resources at the early childhood education level.

Abstract

The role of education in shaping a qualified and productive generation is of paramount importance. One of the key determinants of educational quality is the leadership style of the principal. This article seeks to examine the impact of the principal's authoritarian and democratic leadership styles on the organizational climate within the educational environment. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research approach utilising a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The research population consisted of students enrolled at ABC School. The survey instrument was employed to assess the principal's leadership style and students' learning motivation. The findings of this study suggest that a principal's democratic leadership style exerts a positive and statistically significant influence on the organizational climate in the educational environment. In an educational setting under the guidance of a principal with a democratic leadership style, all members perceive themselves to be valued and engaged in an active role in the learning process. Conversely, a principal's authoritarian leadership style was found to have a negative impact on the school environment. This may result in a hindrance of roles and activities within the organizational environment.

Abstract

Collaborative learning has gained significant attention as an effective pedagogical approach in fostering academic achievement and 21st-century skills among students. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of collaborative learning in improving student outcomes at the junior high school level. Employing a qualitative research design, this article synthesizes findings from recent studies published within the last five years to explore how collaborative learning impacts academic performance, engagement, and skill development. The analysis reveals that collaborative learning enhances students' academic outcomes by promoting deeper comprehension and critical thinking through peer interaction and cooperative problem-solving. Furthermore, it increases student engagement and motivation by creating participatory and interactive learning environments. Beyond academic benefits, collaborative learning also develops essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and adaptability, which are crucial for success in the 21st century. However, challenges such as unequal participation within groups and the need for effective teacher facilitation remain key barriers to its implementation. This study discusses strategies to address these challenges, including designing tasks that foster positive interdependence, providing clear roles within groups, and leveraging technology to enhance collaboration. The findings underscore the transformative potential of collaborative learning in junior high schools while highlighting areas for improvement and further research. By integrating collaborative learning effectively into classroom practices, educators can create meaningful learning experiences that prepare students for academic success and future professional demands.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of families and nursing homes in improving the quality of life of the elderly. Social problems facing the elderly include the ability of families and nursing homes to meet their needs. The elderly are part of the demographic bonus challenge and need support for physical, economic, psychological and social well-being. Shifts in family functions have led to an increase in the number of elderly people in nursing homes. The International Convention on the Elderly emphasizes the importance of access to basic needs and employment opportunities, but Indonesia has not ratified this convention, even though there are local policies that recognize the elderly as a vulnerable group that must be empowered. This research uses a constructivist paradigm and qualitative methods with in-depth interviews and participant observation to collect data. The results show that the pattern of caring for elderly people in families and nursing homes is different, with nursing homes often being a place for elderly people who have been neglected by their families. Families have an important role in caring for and supporting elderly people, which can significantly influence their quality of life. Nursing homes also play a role in providing care and support, but face challenges such as limited resources and social stigma. This research highlights the importance of a holistic approach in elderly care, both in the context of families and nursing home institutions. Well-functioning families and well-managed nursing homes can improve the quality of life of seniors, by taking into account their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

Abstract

This study explores students' responses to how the peer teaching method in microteaching lectures can provide teaching skills to become elementary school teachers. The research applied a quantitative descriptive method by analyzing questionnaire instruments distributed to 35 elementary school teacher education students who took microteaching courses in the fourth semester. Data collection used a closed-ended questionnaire instrument and focus group discussions to identify teaching skills that are still needed by students to be trained through peer teaching. The results of the data analysis showed that the average student perception of peer-teaching reached an average of > 4 (figure 1) out of 12 questionnaire questions. This figure indicates a good category. The results of the focus group discussion obtained data that what still needs to be trained through peer teaching is adjusting learning strategies to the learning material and the background of students and eliminating the fear of making mistakes that make them insecure in front of their peers. Based on the results of data analysis, it is concluded that students' perceptions are good about peer teaching and can help them equip teaching skills as prospective elementary school teachers. However, it is still necessary to add skill training through peer teaching about adjusting learning strategies to the material being taught and eliminating self-confidence. From the findings of this study, it is suggested that to prepare the competence of elementary school teachers through micro-teaching courses, the peer teaching method needs to be maintained but it needs to be added to the content of skills that are still needed by students, namely preparing lesson plans.

Abstract

Indonesia has two-thirds of its territory covered by sea, making it rich in marine resources, especially fish. According to the Census of Marine Life, there are around 950 thousand species that inhabit the world's oceans, but only about one percent have been exploited. In Indonesia itself, FishBase records around 4743 types of fish, making it the country with the largest Marine Mega-Biodiversity in the world (Jabbar, 2018). There are two main problems in the fisheries sector in Indonesia: economics and biology. Biological problems include threats to the sustainability of fish stocks, while economic problems are related to the lack of profits obtained by fishermen from catches and sustainable use of fish resources (Akoit and Nalle, 2018). The Archipelago Fisheries Port (PPN) plays an important role in supporting fishing activities in the Indian Ocean, including in Palabuhanratu, West Java. Palabuhanratu is an important location for landing various types of fish, especially large pelagic fish such as tuna and skipjack, as well as swanggi fish (Priacanthusmacracanthus), which experienced a significant increase in production from 573 tonnes in 2013 to 18,730 tonnes in 2015 (Sadewi et al., 2018). Swanggi fish is a demersal fish with high economic value that is in demand by the public and is an export commodity to Korea, Japan and China. However, high demand results in overfishing and a decline in adult fish stocks (Jabbar et al., 2017). This research is descriptive quantitative research which aims to measure the level of variables through samples. The analytical methods used include analysis of biological aspects of swanggifish, catch analysis methods, and sustainability analysis methods using Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries (RAPFISH). It is hoped that the results of this research can provide a sustainable shrimp resource management strategy based on the data obtained.
