Abstract

This study examines the role of self-concept as a mediator in the relationship between TikTok @_Project.xo usage and psychological well-being among Generation Z in Indonesia using PROCESS Macro analysis. The focus of this study is to deepen the theoretical understanding of the internal mechanisms linking social media engagement and psychological well-being. Collect a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlative design from 150 Generation Z respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the Social Media Engagement Scale for Adolescents (SMES-A), the Robson Self Concept Questionnaire, and the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale (18 items). The analysis shows that self-concept significantly mediates the relationship between TikTok usage and psychological well being (β = 0.057; 95% CI = 0.022–0.094). TikTok usage does not have a direct effect on psychological well-being, but has an indirect effect through self-concept. This indicates that self-concept serves as a full mediator. These findings enrich the literature on the psychological well-being of Generation Z in Indonesia and open up further research directions to explore other mediator or moderator variables.

Abstract

Child-Friendly Schools are a strategic approach to creating a safe, inclusive, and violence-free learning environment. One of its main foundations is students' social skills that support positive individual interactions. However, these skills do not develop evenly and are influenced by various personal and social factors. This study explores students' experiences after participating in social skills group counseling and its contribution to the realization of Child-Friendly Schools. This study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, collecting data from 16 junior high school students who have participated in group counseling sessions through observation, worksheets, field notes, and reflections. Analysis was conducted using van Manen's thematic approach. The findings reveal four main themes: awareness of positive communication, reflection on the implementation process of group counseling, growth in empathy and social perspective, and the application of social skills at school. The findings indicate that group counseling creates a safe reflective space, promotes behavioral change, and fosters values of empathy, tolerance, and appreciation for diversity. This study provides an in-depth understanding of students' social-emotional transformation through structured group dynamics with a humanistic approach.

Abstract

Facts in the field show that the empathy skills that prospective counselors have in understanding their counseling, especially in the aspect of empathy have not been comprehensively internalized. This research has three specific objectives (1) to develop a case method learning model guide based on serat wedharaga  values to increase the empathy of prospective counselors; (2) the developed model is theoretically tested through the validation of material experts, media, and potential users; (3) The model is empirically tested that  the case method learning model  is based on the value of serat wedharagas to increase the empathy of prospective counselors. The implementation of this research uses the development method with ADDIE design. The results of the development are in the form of a learning guide that includes sixteen meetings, containing materials, media, and evaluation tools. The developed learning model proved to be theoretically feasible and practically effective, demonstrated through a paired t-test with a value of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000, indicating a significant improvement between pretest and posttest. Thus, serat wedharaga value-based learning  is effective in increasing the empathy of prospective counselors. Suggestions for the next researcher to conduct follow-up studies related to the development of other learning models to strengthen the professional character of prospective counselors.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of Self-Directed Learning skills of students at SMP Negeri 3 Banguntapan. Self-Directed Learning is an important skill that enables students to learn independently, take the initiative in understanding the material, and develop effective learning strategies. The research method used was a descriptive survey with a sample of 224 students, selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data collection used the Self-Directed Learning scale adapted from Henisa and Restu Aulia Chairunnisa. This scale consists of 30 items with five indicators: awareness, learning strategies, learning activities, evaluation, and interpersonal skills. The analysis results showed an average Self-Directed Learning score of 75 (SD = 15). A total of 9% of students had Self-Directed Learning skills, 70% were in the moderate category, and 21% were classified as low. These findings indicate that the majority of students still need reinforcement in Self-Directed Learning skills. Factors contributing to low Self-Directed Learning include conventional learning methods, lack of opportunities for students to learn independently, and an education system that is still dominated by a top-down approach. Therefore, innovation in guidance and counseling services is needed to improve Self-Directed Learning skills, so that students can be better prepared to face challenges in education and work.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that targeted psychoeducational interventions significantly reduce academic stress and enhance well-being among college students. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method and the PRISMA 2020 protocol, the research evaluates the outcomes and mechanisms of these interventions on students' academic flourishing. Analysis of ten recent empirical articles from 2015 to 2024, sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar, underpins the findings. Thematic analysis reveals that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based psychoeducation is effective at lowering stress symptoms, while PERMA model-based interventions foster resilience and enduring psychological development. Interventions lasting 5 to 8 weeks are most effective at driving sustained behavioral change. Crucially, digitizing services and adopting multimodal approaches further increase accessibility and destigmatize mental health support. The evidence supports integrating holistic psychoeducational programs into higher education to build supportive academic environments that promote student success.

Abstract

Students’ lack of readiness to develop appropriate career plans reduces their future employment opportunities. This condition is further compounded by the limited availability of career information and career-related media in schools. Accordingly, teachers and school counselors need to introduce innovative approaches to delivering career information. This study examined the effectiveness of a Google Sites–based career information as the platform model to improve senior high school students’ career planning skills. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 72 eleventh-grade students from XI A1 and XI A2 at SMA Negeri 1 Weleri. The sample was selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an adapted version of the Career Planning Confidence Scale (CPCS). The hypothesis testing was conducted using a paired-samples t-test. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in career planning skills, suggesting an improvement following the intervention. Further implications are discussed in the discussion section.
