Abstract

This study aims to develop the "Untie the Rope" media as a group guidance tool to train students' commitment to behavior and to find out its level of feasibility and practicality. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) method with the Four-D (4D) model, which includes the stages of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate, with research implementation focused on the Define, Design, and Develop stages. The trial subjects consisted of one media expert, one content expert, one Guidance and Counseling teacher, and five students from a private junior high school in Bandung. Data were collected through validation sheets from media and content experts as well as response questionnaires from the Guidance and Counseling teacher and the students, and then analyzed using descriptive percentage techniques. The results showed that the "Untie the Rope" media received a feasibility percentage of 90.48% from the media expert and 88% from the content expert, both of which fall into the very feasible category. The practicality test results showed a percentage of 87.50% from the Guidance and Counseling teachers and 88.00% from the students, both of which fall into the very practical category. The novelty of the media lies in the integration of game activities, challenges, decision-making, interaction, reflection, and commitment setting, all specifically aimed at developing students' behavioral commitment. Therefore, the 'Untie the Rope' media is considered highly feasible and very practical to use as a support tool in group counseling services to train students' behavioral commitment, especially in aspects of discipline, responsibility, social interaction, and activeness. However, this study has not yet tested the effectiveness of the media on behavioral changes empirically, so further research with an experimental design and a larger number of subjects is needed.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a valid, practical, and effective positive psychology-based group guidance service model to enhance student resilience at SMP Negeri 32 Muaro Jambi. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, adapting development stages that included needs analysis, model design, expert validation, limited trials, model revision, field testing, and effectiveness evaluation. Research subjects included guidance and counseling experts, guidance and counseling teachers, and 7th- and 8th-grade students from SMP Negeri 32 Muaro Jambi, purposively selected in alignment with the research objectives. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and a resilience scale, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicated that the developed model achieved a very high level of validity based on expert assessment, with an average feasibility rating of 92.6%, and was highly practical based on responses from guidance and counseling teachers and students, with an average rating of 90.8%. Furthermore, the model was effective in enhancing student resilience; the average resilience score improved from the moderate to the high category after participation in the positive psychology-based group guidance service, and statistical tests revealed a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that the developed model is suitable for use as a guidance and counseling innovation to strengthen the resilience of 7th- and 8th-grade junior high school students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic religious guidance in fostering the character trait of trustworthiness (Amanah) among adolescents at the Aisyiyah Orphanage in Sumberrejo, Bojonegoro. Trustworthiness is an essential moral value that adolescents need to develop as part of character education. This study employs a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the orphanage administrators, religious counselors, and the adolescent residents. The study ensured data validity through source triangulation and methodological triangulation. The findings indicate that regular Islamic religious guidance activities such as reciting the Qur’an, religious lectures, congregational prayer, and exemplary behavior significantly contribute to strengthening the trustworthiness of the adolescents’ character. Indicators of trustworthiness include responsibility, honesty, discipline, and commitment in carrying out assigned tasks. Supporting factors include the consistency of religious programs and the role of caregivers as role models, while inhibiting factors include peer influence and the adolescents’ diverse backgrounds. This study concludes that Islamic religious guidance is effective in fostering trustworthy character among adolescents in orphanage settings.
