Abstract

Background: Student learning outcomes serve as a primary indicator of instructional effectiveness. However, variations in academic achievement are often influenced by individual characteristics, particularly learning styles. Understanding how visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning preferences relate to academic performance is essential for developing more responsive instructional approaches. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles and senior high school students’ learning outcomes. Method: A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 40 students. Data were collected through a Likert-scale learning style questionnaire and students’ report card scores. The data were analysed using Pearson product-moment correlation to determine the strength and significance of the relationships between variables. Result: The findings revealed significant positive correlations between learning styles and learning outcomes. The visual learning style showed a correlation coefficient of r = 0.421 (p = 0.008), the auditory learning style r = 0.356 (p = 0.024), and the kinesthetic learning style r = 0.389 (p = 0.014). These results indicate that students who effectively utilise their dominant learning styles tend to achieve higher academic performance. Conclusion: Learning styles are an essential internal factor influencing students’ academic achievement, though their impact interacts with other factors, such as physiological and psychological conditions, family support, school and community environments, and time management. Originality/Value: This study strengthens empirical evidence in the field of educational psychology and school counseling by uncovering significant positive correlations across visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning preferences toward student academic achievement gains, regarding sensory learning modality profiles in the context of direct academic performance evaluations and their interplay with broader psychosocial supporting factors among senior high school students, an area that has remained underexamined through multi modality comparisons. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic benchmark for designing multimodal differentiated instructional practices in classrooms, implementing diagnostic learning style assessments by school counselors, and formulating individualized academic intervention frameworks in secondary schools.

Abstract

Background: Uncontrolled mobile phone use among adolescents can lead to behavioral problems and reduced learning quality by disrupting concentration, academic engagement, and social interaction. Therefore, structured guidance interventions are needed to strengthen students’ self-control in managing digital technology use at school. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of classical guidance using the jigsaw method on students’ self-control in mobile phone use. Method: A quantitative approach was employed, using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The participants were ninth-grade students of SMP Negeri 7 Pemalang. Data were collected using a self-control scale regarding mobile phone use. Statistical analysis was conducted using an independent samples t-test to determine differences between the experimental and control groups. Result: The findings revealed a significant difference in self-control between students who received classical guidance using the jigsaw method and those who did not. The experimental group showed greater improvement in self-control after the intervention than the control group. Conclusion: Classical guidance implemented through the jigsaw method is practical in enhancing students’ self-control in mobile phone use. Originality/Value: This study expands pedagogical intervention modalities in the field of school guidance counseling and digital literacy education by uncovering the superior efficacy of classical guidance integrated with the jigsaw cooperative learning technique in significantly elevating student self regulation relative to conventional approaches, regarding adolescent smartphone usage behavior management in the context of junior high school group based classroom interventions, an area that has remained underexamined through quasi experimental cooperative paradigms. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic benchmark for designing peer collaborative classical guidance modules, standardizing preventive counseling protocols for digital device dependency, and formulating school wide digital technology governance policies within formal educational institutions.

Results: The intervention yielded substantial, sustained reductions in student academic hesitation. Indecision rates dropped sharply from an initial 50 percent at the pre cycle baseline to 30 percent in Cycle I, ultimately plummeting to 3.3 percent following Cycle II completion. Conclusion: Motivational enhancement delivered via collaborative; structured group guidance serves as a highly efficacious modality for solidifying student commitment to institutional educational continuity. Originality/Value: This study addresses an essential operational gap in the field of career guidance counseling and Islamic education by uncovering a marked decrease in student hesitation from 50 percent to 3.3 percent through systematic motivational enhancement, regarding educational continuity interest in the context of group guidance interventions among boarding madrasah students, an area that has remained underexamined through cyclical classroom action research designs. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic benchmark for designing specialized career group guidance interventions, reinforcing internal educational transition retention within madrasah systems, and formulating collaborative multi stakeholder academic mentoring policies in Islamic secondary institutions.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kecenderungan dan bentuk perilaku agresif pada remaja dengan latar belakang keluarga broken home di SMA Negeri 1 Juli. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 16 orang yang terdiri atas 5 siswa sebagai subjek utama, 5 teman sebaya, 5 wali kelas, dan 1 guru bimbingan dan konseling. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semiterstruktur, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara induktif menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku agresif remaja meliputi agresi fisik, agresi verbal, kemarahan, dan permusuhan, dengan agresi verbal sebagai bentuk yang paling dominan. Agresi fisik cenderung bersifat reaktif dan muncul sebagai respons terhadap provokasi atau tekanan emosional. Temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa kondisi keluarga broken home berkontribusi terhadap ketidakstabilan emosi dan rendahnya kontrol diri, sehingga memicu munculnya perilaku agresif. Selain itu, lingkungan sosial sekolah turut memperkuat pola perilaku tersebut. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa agresivitas remaja merupakan respons adaptif terhadap tekanan psikososial yang memerlukan penanganan melalui dukungan keluarga dan layanan bimbingan konseling di sekolah.

Abstract

Background: Excessive gadget use among elementary school students negatively impacts self control, resulting in study time management difficulties, impulsive behavior, and emotional instability. Children at this developmental stage have not yet established optimal self regulatory skills, necessitating targeted support through school guidance and counseling services. Objective: This study aims to describe the implementation of classical guidance and Group counseling in developing self control among elementary students who display excessive gadget engagement. Methods: Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 20 elementary school students selected based on specific criteria of heavy screen time and impulsive behavioral tendencies. Data collection was conducted through in depth interviews, direct observations, and student self reflections, enriched by collateral information from teachers and parents. The structured intervention combined classical guidance and Group counseling sessions over several stages. Results: Findings indicate that both guidance formats positively improved student self control. This transformation was evidenced by heightened digital awareness, stronger impulse suppression, more stable emotional regulation, and improved study habits. Originality/Value: This study offers significant empirical and practical contributions to the field of elementary school guidance and child developmental counseling by revealing the efficacy of combining classical guidance and group counseling in fostering digital awareness, suppressing behavioral impulses, and stabilizing emotional regulation as well as study habits regarding student self-control enhancement in the context of managing excessive gadget use among primary school children, an area that has remained underexplored. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic reference for implementing multi-tier school-based counseling interventions and developing integrated digital literacy and behavioral regulation programs involving collaborative teacher-parent partnerships.

Abstract

Background: Students’ perceptions of school guidance and counseling services significantly influence their willingness to seek professional support. However, many students continue to perceive school counselors primarily as disciplinary authorities, which limits the effectiveness of counseling services. Objective; This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions, understanding, and expectations regarding the urgency of guidance and counseling services at MTsN Terate Pandian Sumenep. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Participants were purposively selected from Grade VIII students, and the data were analyzed through thematic analysis following the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. Results: Three major themes emerged. First, most students understood guidance and counseling as professional support for personal, social, academic, and behavioral development, although some still associated it with disciplinary functions. Second, perceptions of school counselors were shaped by previous experiences, resulting in both positive views and the persistent “school police” stereotype. Third, students expected counseling services to become more accessible, preventive, developmental, and student-centered through stronger counselor–student relationships. Conclusion: Students’ understanding of and direct experiences with school counselors substantially influence their trust in and utilization of counseling services. Originality/Value: This study offers novel qualitative empirical insights into the field of school guidance and counseling within Islamic secondary education by documenting students' nuanced perceptions, conceptual understanding, and the lingering 'school police' stereotype regarding the urgency and utilization of counseling services, which remain underexplored in contextual literature. This inquiry provides profound contextual perspectives and serves as a strategic reference that contributes to informed educational decision-making, the restructuring of preventive counseling programs, and the cultivation of responsive, student-centered counseling relationships in schools.

Abstract

Background: The family serves as the primary social institution responsible for shaping character and behavioral traits, yet the extent to which parental guidance influences overall personality development remains inconsistent in existing literature. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of parental guidance on student personality at the high school level and determine the strength of the relationship and contribution between the two variables. Methods: Employing a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design, the study involved 27 high school students selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were gathered via questionnaires and analyzed using normality tests, Pearson correlation, simple linear regression, and t tests. Results: Findings reveal that parental guidance exerts a positive and significant effect on student personality. However, the correlation between the variables is low, with parental guidance contributing 10% to student personality while the remaining 90% is driven by external factors such as social environment and personal experiences. Conclusion: Although parental guidance is an essential factor in fostering student personality, it is not the sole dominant determinant and must be complemented by supportive environmental influences. Originality/Value: This study offers novel empirical contributions to the fields of educational psychology and family counseling by revealing the significant yet low-correlation effect of parental guidance (accounting for a 10% contribution) and the predominant role of external factors regarding student personality development within the context of senior secondary education, an area where specific quantified dynamics remain underexplored. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic reference for developing comprehensive parent-school collaboration programs and formulating student character development policies that holistically integrate broader psychosocial environmental influences.
