Abstract

Abstract. Children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) often display maladaptive behavior that deviates from social norms. This study analyzes the relationship between parental attachment and maladaptive behavior among children with EBD at the Banda Aceh Special Child Development Institution (LPKA). A qualitative case study was conducted through in-depth interviews with 55 purposively selected children, supported by observation and document review. Thematic analysis showed that 81.8% of the children came from economically disadvantaged families and 58.2% experienced disharmonious parenting marked by chronic conflict, broken homes, and emotional neglect. Insecure attachment was dominant: 58.2% felt misunderstood by their families and 40% sought support from non-parental figures. The main legal case was sexual relations reported as rape (45.5%), followed by property crime. Maladaptive behavior reflects dysfunction in attachment and family systems, indicating the need for attachment-focused rehabilitation, economic support, and restorative approaches. Keywords: developmental psychology, parental attachment, parenting

Abstract

Abstract. This qualitative study examines how Indonesian guidance and counseling (GC) teachers construct and negotiate their professional identity amid role ambiguity in schools. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 GC teachers from elementary and secondary schools across 12 districts/cities in Central Java. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal two interconnected patterns. First, participants understood counseling as a source of personal fulfillment and a specialized profession grounded in competence, empathy, and confidentiality; however, some regarded counseling as secondary to teaching duties. Second, overlapping teaching, disciplinary, administrative, and inclusive-education responsibilities blurred professional boundaries and sometimes undermined students’ trust. Participants also demonstrated adaptability by seeking professional development and integrating supportive practices into additional roles. These findings suggest that professional identity is continuously negotiated between counselors’ professional values and institutional expectations. Clearer role boundaries, relevant competency development, and sustained institutional support are needed to strengthen school counseling practice in Indonesia. Keywords: Professional identity, Guidance Counselors, Role ambiguity, Professional challenges, Professional development

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of school-based career guidance on psychocareer mediators, academic transition indicators, and distal outcomes such as student placement and graduation. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using keywords related to career guidance effectiveness, yielding 115 records, from which 20 studies (2015–2025) met inclusion criteria. Quantitative descriptive and qualitative thematic analyses were conducted to synthesize evidence on program effectiveness, implementation parameters, and equity moderators. The results revealed that programs combining psychoeducation, reflective exercises, individualized feedback, and digital integration significantly improved students’ self-efficacy, career adaptability, and goal clarity. In conclusion, the effectiveness of school-based career guidance depends on comprehensive program design, consistent implementation, and equitable access to educational technology.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the level of psychological well-being (PWB) of students living away from home on the island of Java (N = 126) using Ryff's model. This study applied a cross-sectional design using Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Short Scale (18 items), with data analysis including descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis nonparametric tests, and Spearman's correlation. The results of the analysis showed that the PWB level of migrant students was in the moderate category (M = 48.07). The dimensions of personal growth (M = 8.93) and environmental mastery (M = 8.78) received the highest scores. No significant differences in PWB were found based on gender, but self-acceptance increased with age (r = 0.266; p < 0.05). In addition, residential status had a significant effect on total PWB and the personal growth dimension, with students living in boarding houses showing the highest scores. Further research is recommended to use a longitudinal design to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of PWB among migrant students.

Abstract

Secondary education demands strong academic resilience to navigate complex learning pressures. This study aims to identify and analyze the effectiveness of various guidance and counseling strategies in enhancing academic resilience through a systematic literature review. Using the PRISMA 2020 protocol, 11 experimental articles from 2020-2025 were analyzed. Results indicate that cognitive-behavioral and postmodern approaches significantly (p < 0.05) increase academic resilience with a large effect size. Group-based services are the most dominant intervention (81.8%) due to their ability to integrate peer support as a protective factor. These findings conclude that optimizing group counseling services is a crucial instrument for fostering students’ academic resilience in schools to support educational success. This review provides essential evidence for school counselors to implement effective, peer-supported interventions.

Abstract

This study examines Tepo Asa Aroa as a contextual ethical–relational framework in school counseling services within a multicultural Indonesian setting. Using a qualitative descriptive phenomenological design, data were collected from three school counselors and ten students through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that Tepo Asa Aroa is internalized as a relational philosophy that shapes counseling interactions through five dimensions: emotional–spiritual, collaborative, harmonious, inclusive, and integrity. These dimensions foster trust, openness, and student engagement, thereby strengthening working alliance and enhancing counseling effectiveness. The study demonstrates that local cultural values can translate universal ethical principles into culturally meaningful practices in collectivistic contexts. The findings contribute to the development of culturally responsive school counseling by providing an operational ethical–relational model grounded in local wisdom.

Abstract

Pesantren (Islamic Boarding Schools) serve an important role in shaping students’ character, morality, and spirituality. In this context, Guidance and Counseling services are needed to support students in dealing with various challenges that arise throughout the educational process. This study aimed to identify students’ problems, analyze counselors’ competency readiness, explore the challenges they face, and describe the case-handling mechanisms at Pondok Pesantren Al-Amien Prenduan Sumenep. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction and conclusion drawing supported by triangulation. The findings showed that students experienced adjustment difficulties, disciplinary issues, and behaviors requiring special attention. Although counselors demonstrated adequate pedagogical, social, personal, anda spiritual competencies, counseling services remained constrained by limited human resources and students’ low openness. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening counselors’ competencies to improve servise effectiveness

Abstract

Bullying in schools is a serious problem that continues to increase, especially in the Vocational High School (SMK) environment. The root of the problem is low empathy for the perpetrator, which encourages the repetition of aggressive behavior. Role playing technique group counseling is considered to be able to foster empathy through direct experience playing the role of the victim. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of role playing technique group counseling in increasing the empathy of bullies through Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA 2020 protocol. Searches were conducted on Google Scholar, Garuda Portal, and SINTA, covering 2019–2024 publications. Of the 47 articles identified, 9 primary research articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed narratively. The results showed that 8 out of 9 articles (88.9%) proved that role playing techniques were effective in reducing bullying and/or increasing student empathy. A dose of at least 3 sessions has been proven to be a critical moderator of effectiveness. It was concluded that group counseling of role playing techniques is an effective intervention, but direct evidence in the context of vocational schools especially on empathy variables is still very limited.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable empathy instrument for junior high school students. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method by adapting the Borg and Gall model. The instrument was developed based on four dimensions of empathy proposed by Davis, namely perspective taking, empathic concern, personal distress, and fantasy. The expert validation results showed feasibility percentages of 96.87% and 87.50%, indicating that the instrument was feasible for use. The validity test revealed that all 29 items were valid, while the reliability test indicated a high level of reliability. The results of administering the instrument to 120 students showed that the majority of students were in the moderate empathy category (75 students). Therefore, the developed empathy instrument is considered valid, reliable, and appropriate for measuring empathy among junior high school students.
