Abstract

This study explores the career readiness of vocational school students in Bengkulu and examines how secondary cultural values, particularly the Serawai tribe’s Sekundang Setungguan philosophy, can inform effective career guidance frameworks. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive methodology with a survey approach, data were collected from 347 students across grades X, XI, and XII through a Career Readiness Inventory distributed via Google Forms. The inventory's validity and reliability were tested using the Rasch model with Winstep software, resulting in 37 valid items out of 42. Findings indicate weak career readiness among students in key areas such as career exploration, decision-making, job information access, and occupational knowledge. Gender analysis reveals higher readiness levels among female students, while the Serawai ethnic group outperforms others in career preparedness. Factors influencing career planning include parental aspirations, limited guidance, and cultural diversity. The study underscores the importance of fostering career awareness early, incorporating cultural strengths into guidance programs. The Serawai values of cooperation, resilience, and mutual support provide a foundation for cultivating responsibility, empathy, and perseverance among students. These cultural frameworks can address career uncertainties and enhance readiness through collaborative efforts involving families, schools, and communities. By leveraging cultural values and fostering robust support systems, vocational students are better equipped to navigate challenges and seize opportunities, contributing to societal growth. The findings highlight the significance of culturally informed guidance to prepare students for the complexities of the modern workforce.

Abstract

The lack of empathy shown by counselors towards their clients is a significant concern, as it can create discomfort and make clients reluctant to talk. To enhance empathy skills, it is essential to consider cultural aspects, one of which is drawing inspiration from the virtues contained in Serat Wedharaga to enrich the empathy abilities of prospective counselors. This study used a qualitative approach with a hermeneutic design, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation steps. The findings from the analysis of Serat Wedharaga have the potential to significantly contribute to improving counselor empathy. The study identified values such as humility, honesty, a learning spirit, responsibility, polite language, and perseverance. The main aspects of empathy, including social interaction, cognitive behavior, and emotional identification, were integrable with these values. For example, the values of humility and honesty in Serat Wedharaga support good communication skills in terms of social interaction. Similarly, the text’s spirit of learning and responsibility supports the understanding and imagination of others' views and perspectives in cognitive behavior. Additionally, the values of polite language and perseverance in Serat Wedharaga support the ability to feel and understand others' emotions in terms of emotional identification. These findings provide an essential basis for developing aspects of empathy that can be integrated with the concept of empathy, which can later be applied to enrich the guidance and counseling curriculum, including adding an empathy development course for prospective counselors.

Abstract

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)  refers to violence inflicted by partners that can result in traumatic consequences for the victim. IPV not only adversely affects both physical and mental health but could also enable individuals to achieve positive changes after trauma, a phenomenon recognized as Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). PTG is intricately linked with various factors, one noteworthy factor being coping strategies. Among these strategies, religious coping is a significant approach that individuals adopt when confronted with difficulties and challenges. This research seeks to conduct a literature review on studies related to understanding posttraumatic growth and examining the role of religious coping in the recovery process of individuals who have experienced IPV. The method of this reserach is based on the De Klerk & Pretorius (2019), which follows these steps: (1) selecting reserach topic, (2) finding relevant resources, (3) selecting key liteature (4) data extraction (5) analyzing data, (6) presenting the findings, and (7) drawing conclusions. A total of 23 articles from 2014 to 2024 were eligible and analyzed to explore the relationship between PTG and religious coping among IPV survivors. Results of the present review suggest that religious coping is associated with PTG by transforming meaning in life, using faith and religious practices as a source of personal strength, and improving relationships with others. These aspects are aligned with the domains of PTG, namely changes in outlook on life, perception of self, and experience of relationships with others.  This findings provides implications for practitioners to integrate religious coping strategies into the recovery process of IPV survivors to help them promote growth.

Abstract

Peumulia Jamee is one of the local wisdoms of the Acehnese people, which means respect and acceptance of guests. This tradition has strong cultural roots and religious values, making it an important social practice in forming relationships between individuals in Acehnese society. The goal of this study is to investigate how the Acehnese people perceive the Peumulia Jamee culture and how they implement its values in their daily lives. This study used a phenomenological approach to explore the experiences and views of the community regarding the Peumulia Jamee practice. We collected data through in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted face-to-face with five informants who possess a deep understanding of Acehnese customs and traditions. Interviews were conducted with a semi-structured guide, allowing informants to express their views freely and in detail regarding the values of Peumulia Jamee. The data analysis revealed three main clusters, along with several emerging ones: (1) the basis and values of Peumulia Jamee culture, which encompasses beliefs from Islamic teachings, customs, and history as the foundation of culture; (2) practices and forms of honoring guests, which includes the themes of forms of honoring guests, honoring guests, and guest classification; and (3) ethics and social behavior, which includes the themes of ethics, verbal behavior, body part behavior, and manners. The results of this study are expected to provide deeper insight into the Peumulia Jamee tradition in forming a counseling approach based on local wisdom in Aceh, Indonesia.

Abstract

As technology and social media evolve, children are increasingly susceptible to bad content, including self-harm behaviours. Gender disparities influence the effects experienced, with females being more vulnerable to emotional content and social comparison, whereas boys are more prone to encountering information that promotes hazardous masculine behaviour. This study seeks to investigate variations in self-harm behaviour according to gender and the types of social media often utilised by primary school students in Indonesia. This study is comparative in nature; the sample was chosen by random sampling methods. The study comprised a sample of 372 primary school students, with a gender distribution of 30.2% male and 69.8% female. Data were gathered using the Self-harm Scale, which comprises 24 items in a 4-point response format. The analytical method employs an item response theory framework utilising Rasch model. This study employed descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (Anova) utilising WIinsteps ver. 5.5.0. The findings indicate substantial disparities in self-harm related to gender and the predominant form of social media utilised. This study indicated that the prevailing trend in social media usage among primary school students involves utilising TikTok and WhatsApp for interaction and content sharing.

Abstract

Education plays a pivotal role in the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. This qualitative study explores the opportunities and challenges of reforming rehabilitation through formal education at the Youth Rehabilitation Center Class II A Bengkulu. The program aims to enhance academic skills, life competencies, and self-esteem among juvenile offenders. Using a purposive sampling method, the study involved 14 informants, including a head of education and community guidance, a teacher, and 12 foster children. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Findings reveal that educational initiatives at the center significantly boost foster children's confidence, motivation, and optimism about their future. The institution's strategic location, dedicated educators, and adequate infrastructure support these efforts. However, several challenges persist, such as limited cooperation from the children’s previous schools, insufficient facilities, a lack of subject-specific resources (e.g., science), and a shortage of qualified teachers. This study provides a detailed analysis of integrating formal education into rehabilitation programs and offers recommendations for improving the quality of educational services in juvenile rehabilitation centers. These insights aim to support the development of inclusive, sustainable, and education-focused rehabilitation policies.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of teacher involvement on elementary school students' boredom and its implications for guidance and counseling practices in schools. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational design, data were collected from 454 elementary school students in Bandung City who completed questionnaires on teacher engagement and boredom levels. The results of the analysis showed that teacher engagement, especially on the emotional aspect, has a negative influence on student boredom, i.e. the higher the teacher engagement, the lower the student boredom. This finding highlights the importance of the teacher's role in creating an active and interactive learning atmosphere to reduce student boredom. The practical implication is that school counselors can support teachers by providing training to strengthen emotional and cognitive engagement and encourage the development of students' social skills to create a conducive and enjoyable learning environment. This study recommends further research to explore other factors that influence student boredom and to examine the influence of teacher engagement in different educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a comprehensive school guidance and counseling program model by integrating the international models of ASCA (American School Counselor Association) and ABKIN (Indonesian Guidance and Counseling Association), tailored to the local context of Indonesia. The research utilised the Borg and Gall research and development design, which includes development, testing, and validation steps. A purposive sample of 141 guidance and counseling teachers from various educational levels across Indonesia participated in the study. The developed model consists of two main frameworks: a general framework and a specific framework. The general framework includes the foundation, delivery system, management, and accountability, while the particular framework covers the rationale, philosophy, vision and mission, and program audit. The model was validated by four expert validators: (1) a professor of Guidance and Counseling from Semarang State University, focusing on junior high school education; (2) a professor from Malang State University, focusing on senior high school education; (3) a professor from Indonesian Education University, focusing on elementary school education; and (4) an expert lecturer in Early Childhood Education (PAUD). The validation results showed an average score of 4.1 out of 5, indicating that the model was considered satisfactory in feasibility and completeness. Suggested improvements emphasised further adaptation to local conditions and strengthening evidence-based accountability. This model is expected to enhance the effectiveness of school counseling services by supporting student development in three main domains: the academic domain (learning to learn), the career/vocational domain (learning to earn), and the personal/social domain (learning to live). With a more adaptive approach to the specific needs at various educational levels, this guidance and counseling model can better support student growth.

Abstract

This study investigates student behavior in utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to address academic and personal challenges, as well as the subsequent implications for guidance and counseling services within Islamic higher education contexts. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing literature reviews and semi-structured interviews conducted with four counselors and six students from an Islamic higher education institution in Bengkulu. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students predominantly use AI tools to efficiently manage academic tasks, such as organizing schedules and accessing information. However, excessive dependence on AI has been observed to adversely affect students' critical thinking abilities, as they often unquestioningly accept instantaneous solutions provided by these technologies without deeper reflection or critical assessment. Additionally, counselors identified significant challenges in integrating AI technologies with a humanistic and spiritually grounded counseling approach rooted in Islamic values, particularly concerning issues of data privacy, confidentiality, and ethical use of technology. The results of this study emphasize the necessity of developing a balanced strategy that combines the advantages of AI with robust human interaction in counseling practices. Consequently, it is recommended that Islamic higher education institutions enhance counselor training in ethical AI utilization, while concurrently supporting students in cultivating critical thinking capacities and moral consciousness aligned with Islamic ethical frameworks. Future research should consider employing quantitative methodologies to statistically assess AI's impact on students' academic and personal development and to broaden the exploration of effective integration between technological advancements and Islamic educational values.
