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

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological disorder that occurs in response to traumatic events. This condition is prone to occur in adolescents due to their ongoing psychological development. This study aims to reveal the profile of post-traumatic stress disorder in adolescents in Bandung City. The methods use a quantitative survey design. The research subjects involved in this study were active students attending school in Bandung City. This study used a PTSD questionnaire consisting of seven items and developed based on the PTSD construct to reveal the profile of PTSD in adolescents. The questionnaire has been tested for reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.794. The results showed that the most significant factor of PTSD affecting students was the experience of being “haunted by traumatic events.” Meanwhile, the aspect of ‘low expectations for the future’ had a smaller impact. These findings indicate that, although students are greatly affected by PTSD symptoms such as intrusive memories and emotional distress, most still maintain a positive outlook on their future. This study expected to contribute for understanding of PTSD manifestations in adolescents and has significant potential as a foundation for strengthening adolescents' perspectives on their future.

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

Generation Z faces a variety of psychological and social challenges that impact the development of life goals, including academic pressure, social comparison through digital media, and increased anxiety and symptoms of mental illness. Consequently, many students experience confusion about their life direction, and some even begin to exhibit risky behaviors in response to these pressures. Gen Z, as digital natives , faces mental health challenges and the need for a clear sense of purpose during their critical years at university. This study used quantitative research with a survey of 332 psychology students from three universities, applying validity and path analysis tests to investigate the relationships between variables. This study aims to analyze the influence of religiosity and self-esteem on the life goals of Gen Z college students in Surakarta, with peer support as a mediating variable. The results can serve as a basis for developing more effective college guidance and counseling services that balance religiosity, self-esteem, and social support. The results of this study can be a theoretical contribution to the study of student development and help educational institutions in designing relevant intervention programs to address psychological problems and future orientation of students.

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.

Abstract

Career decision-making and career self-efficacy are essential components of students’ readiness to determine their future educational pathways and career directions. However, not all students possess clear career goals or sufficient preparedness, which often leads to difficulties in selecting career options aligned with their personal potential. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of web-based career information services grounded in the RIASEC model in improving students’ career self-efficacy and career decision-making. A one-group pretest–posttest design was employed.  Purposive sampling was used to select 30 participants who met the predetermined criteria. The participants were then categorized into two analytical groups: a career self-efficacy group and a career decision-making group. Data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test with SPSS version 23. The results of the analysis (0.00 < 0.05) indicated a significant increase in the mean scores of both career self-efficacy and career decision-making after the implementation of the web-based RIASEC-assisted career information service.  The findings suggest that the intervention was effective in improving both variables. However, the service demonstrated greater effectiveness in enhancing students’ career self-efficacy compared to their career decision-making.
