Abstract

Background. Hedonistic behavior among students is increasingly prevalent and poses a serious threat to academic discipline, financial responsibility, and moral development. This lifestyle, often characterized by excessive consumption, materialism, and instant gratification, can hinder students' focus and future orientation. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a structured and goal-oriented therapeutic approach that has shown effectiveness in modifying irrational beliefs and maladaptive behaviors. Purpose. This study aimed to determine the influence of group counseling using the CBT approach in reducing hedonistic behavior among students of SMK N 1 Koto Baru Dharmasraya. The research also sought to identify the specific aspects of hedonistic tendencies most affected by the intervention. Method. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 20 students identified with high levels of hedonistic behavior, divided equally into experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of six CBT-based group counseling sessions over three weeks. A validated hedonism behavior scale was administered before and after the sessions. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. Results. The results showed a significant decrease in hedonistic behavior scores in the experimental group after the counseling sessions, while the control group showed no significant change. Aspects such as impulsive spending, dependence on peer approval, and time mismanagement were notably reduced among the participants who received the intervention. Conclusion. Group counseling using the Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approach is effective in reducing hedonistic behavior in vocational high school students. It is recommended that school counselors implement CBT-based group interventions as part of student guidance programs to promote self-control, delayed gratification, and responsible lifestyle choices.

Abstract

Background. Religious diversity in schools often presents challenges related to interfaith tension, prejudice, and social exclusion, particularly between Muslim and Christian students. Traditional educational approaches tend to lack the psychological depth needed to foster sustainable tolerance and inclusive interactions among students from different faith backgrounds. Purpose. This study aimed to develop and examine a preventive psychoeducation model within multicultural counseling programs designed to foster Muslim-Christian tolerance in secondary schools. The research explored the role of initial attitudes, multicultural knowledge, and bias sensitivity in shaping students’ preventive competence and promoting harmonious coexistence. Method. A qualitative case study approach was used, involving several secondary schools in religiously diverse regions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving school counselors, religious teachers, and students. Structural equation modeling using SmartPLS and ANOVA correlation analysis were employed to explore the relationships among the variables. Results. The findings revealed that positive initial attitudes significantly influenced multicultural knowledge acquisition, which in turn enhanced preventive competence. Multicultural knowledge had the strongest impact on students’ ability to proactively manage religious diversity. However, bias sensitivity showed a weaker or even negative correlation with competence, indicating the need for emotional regulation in counseling interventions. The final outcome—harmonious interfaith interaction—depended not only on individual competencies but also on broader school dynamics. Conclusion. The preventive psychoeducation model rooted in multicultural counseling offers a promising strategy for promoting interfaith tolerance in schools. It highlights the importance of addressing both cognitive and emotional domains to prepare students for peaceful coexistence. Implementation of such models requires institutional support, professional counselor training, and integration with school culture and policies.

Abstract

The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational counseling has introduced new opportunities and ethical challenges in decision-making processes related to student support services. This study aims to develop a set of ethical guidelines tailored to the use of AI-assisted systems in educational counseling, focusing on transparency, fairness, accountability, privacy, and human oversight. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research synthesizes insights from educational technologists, counseling professionals, AI ethicists, and policymakers through in-depth interviews and Delphi-based consensus. The proposed framework addresses ethical dilemmas arising from algorithmic bias, informed consent, data protection, and the balance between human judgment and machine recommendations. Findings suggest that while AI can enhance efficiency and personalization in counseling, it must operate within clearly defined ethical boundaries to safeguard student autonomy, well-being, and equity. The resulting guidelines are intended to serve as a foundational reference for educational institutions, developers, and regulatory bodies in the responsible deployment of AI in student counseling contexts.

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into counseling practices presents both opportunities and ethical dilemmas. This study explores the relationship between digital literacy and ethical decision-making among counselors who utilize AI-based assessment tools. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were gathered through structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights were obtained via semi-structured interviews with licensed counselors in diverse educational and clinical settings. The findings indicate that counselors with higher levels of digital literacy demonstrate greater competence in navigating ethical complexities related to data privacy, informed consent, algorithmic bias, and client autonomy. Furthermore, digital literacy mediates counselors’ ability to critically evaluate the limitations of AI-generated outputs and apply professional judgment responsibly. This study underscores the need for continuous digital ethics training within counselor education programs and proposes a framework for integrating ethical AI usage into counseling standards. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of how digital competencies shape ethical practices in technology-enhanced counseling environments.

Abstract

Background. The growing diversity of classrooms and the rapid transformation of global communication demand English language education that not only develops linguistic competence but also equips learners with essential 21st-century skills. Multicultural English language education is increasingly viewed as a strategic approach to fostering critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and intercultural awareness. However, empirical evidence on how multicultural pedagogical practices contribute to these skills remains limited. Purpose. This study aimed to examine the role of multicultural English language education in developing students’ 21st-century skills. Specifically, it investigated the extent to which multicultural learning activities influence students’ critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and intercultural competence in English language classrooms. Method. A mixed-methods research design was employed involving 210 secondary and university-level students from culturally diverse educational settings. Quantitative data were collected through a validated 21st-century skills questionnaire, while qualitative data were obtained from classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis, and the qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Results. The findings reveal that multicultural English language instruction has a significant positive effect on students’ 21st-century skills, particularly in intercultural communication, collaborative learning, and critical thinking. Students exposed to culturally responsive materials and dialogic learning activities demonstrated higher engagement and greater adaptability in diverse social interactions. Conclusion. Multicultural English language education serves as an effective pedagogical framework for integrating language learning with the development of 21st-century skills. The study underscores the importance of culturally inclusive curricula and learner-centered strategies to prepare students for global citizenship.
