Abstract

This study aimed to improve ninth-grade students’ mathematics learning outcomes at SMP Negeri 1 Batang Kuis through the implementation of the Discovery Learning model on the topic of Ratio and Scale. The research employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 30 students, with a minimum mastery criterion (KKM) of 70. Data were collected using learning achievement tests administered at the end of each cycle and classroom observation sheets to document students’ learning activities. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to examine changes in mean scores and classical mastery, while qualitative descriptive analysis was applied to interpret shifts in student engagement during the learning process. The findings indicate continuous improvement from the pre-action stage to Cycle I and Cycle II. The mean score increased from 63.1 to 70.8 and 80.6, respectively. Classical mastery improved from 40.0% to 63.3% and reached 86.7% in Cycle II. Therefore, Discovery Learning was effective in enhancing students’ achievement and classroom participation.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine: (1) the level of social media use intensity among university students in Yogyakarta; (2) the level of loneliness among university students in Yogyakarta; and (3) the relationship between social media use intensity and loneliness among university students in Yogyakarta. This study was motivated by the increasing intensity of social media use among university students, which may affect their psychological condition, particularly the emergence of feelings of loneliness amid social life that has increasingly shifted into the digital realm. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The participants were 82 active university students aged 18–25 years who lived in Yogyakarta and were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a social media use intensity scale consisting of 30 items with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability index of 0.749 and a loneliness scale consisting of 20 items with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability index of 0.303, both of which had undergone validity and reliability testing. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, linearity test, and Spearman’s Rho correlation hypothesis test. The results showed that: (1) social media use intensity was categorized as moderate (38%), high (33%), low (22%), very high (4%), and very low (4%); (2) loneliness was categorized as moderate (49%), low (34%), very low (13%), high (4%), with no students in the very high category (0%); and (3) there was a significant negative relationship between social media use intensity and loneliness, with a Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient of -0.219 and a significance value of p = 0.048 (p < 0.05). These results indicate that the higher the intensity of social media use, the lower the level of loneliness among university students in Yogyakarta in this study.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Fresh graduate scholars of Guidance and Counseling face considerable pressure upon entering the workforce, including job mismatches, high workloads, and the implicit expectation that, as graduates trained in mental health, they should be better equipped to manage stress. This study aims to measure the level of work stress among fresh graduate scholars of the Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Sanata Dharma University and to identify which items of the work stress scale are categorized as high, so they can be proposed as guidance topics. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 53 employed fresh graduate scholars of the Guidance and Counseling Study Program. Data were collected through a survey using a work stress scale comprising 44 valid items across three aspects: physiological, psychological, and behavioral, and analyzed descriptively using categorization based on theoretical mean and standard deviation. The findings indicate that the majority of respondents (53%) fall within the moderate work stress category, while 4% were very high, 8% high, 23% low, and 13% very low. Item analysis showed that 50% of items were categorized as very high and 32% as high, with none falling in the low or very low categories, indicating that although overall stress levels are moderate, specific psychological and behavioral dimensions are felt intensely. These findings imply the need for career guidance programs covering anxiety management, emotion regulation, procrastination handling, performance optimization, sleep hygiene, and work-life balance for Guidance and Counseling students preparing to enter the workforce.

Abstract

Hypertension remains one of the most prominent public health issues in Indonesia. As a chronic disease, hypertension requires long-term monitoring and treatment. The key to successful hypertension management lies in medication adherence. However, this remains a challenge for patients receiving care at primary health care facilities. This study aimed to determine the effect of education on medication adherence among hypertensive patients at Muara Burnai Primary Health Center (Puskesmas), Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-post test design. The subjects were 70 hypertensive patients who met the inclusion criteria. The intervention consisted of leaflets and individual counseling. Medication adherence was measured using a questionnaire. Following the educational intervention, the results showed that medication adherence education was effective in improving adherence among hypertensive patients at Muara Burnai Primary Health Center. As a follow-up, education should be continued and tailored to patients' characteristics in order to sustain these results.
