Abstract

This study investigated awareness and perception of artificial intelligence in counselling practice among counsellors-in-training. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The population consisted of all counsellors-in-training (CITs) in Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo. Two hundred (200) counsellors-in-training were randomly selected from Degree three (3) and four (4) as sample for the study. Structured questionnaire was used as instrument to collect data for the study. It was validated by experts in Test and Measurement. Reliability of the instrument was ascertained by using Cronbach’s Alpha statistics mean which yielded a coefficient of 0.83. Data collected was analysed by using frequency counts, percentages and standard deviation. Findings revealed that counsellors-in-training are aware of AI in education and counselling practice which are 87.5% and 61% respectively. The results showed source of awareness among CITs as internet (35%), friends (19%), lecturer (11%) and classmate (4.5%) in succession. The study showed 54% as the level of exposure to AI in counselling practice. Level of perception of usefulness of AI in counselling practice was found as low (43.5%), moderate (52.0%) and high (9%). Level of interest in using AI for counselling practice was revealed as 73% while the limitations of AI for counselling practice are issue of confidentiality (32%), network problem 29%), competence of CITs (23%) and getting consent from the clients (11%). It was therefore concluded that counsellors should work with AI and AI should work with counselling.

Abstract

This study aims to map global trends in self-talk using a bibliometric approach. The data source was entirely drawn from the Scopus database, focusing on publications containing keywords related to self-talk, such as self-talk, talk, and relationship. The analysis was conducted on 960 selected documents published between 1975 and 2025. The results show a significant increase in publications since 2020, reflecting a growing need for self-talk approaches that support mental health and psychological well-being. Authors from various countries contributed differently, with the United States dominating in terms of both publication volume and citations, while developing countries such as Indonesia have begun to show significant participation. However, the findings also indicate that collaboration among researchers and institutions remains limited, highlighting the need to strengthen global scientific networks. Popular topics emerging from this study include impact, talk, self-talk, and anxiety in the context of building mental health. The results of this study make an important contribution to the understanding of mental well-being and the direction of self-talk research at the international level. They also provide a foundation for the development of counseling policies and practices that are more relevant to contemporary social needs. Furthermore, this study encourages further research that incorporates qualitative approaches to explore local contexts and the practical implementation of peace counseling more deeply. Specifically, self-talk as applied in counseling practices has become a crucial aspect in supporting mental health, and therefore its understanding and application need to be continually developed to enhance the effectiveness of counseling services across diverse cultural and social settings.

Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental phase full of challenges, particularly for students from disharmonious family backgrounds who are vulnerable to low self-confidence. This study aims to enhance students’ self-confidence through group guidance services using the sociodrama technique at a public junior high school in Yogyakarta. The research employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects consisted of six eighth-grade students identified as coming from disharmonious families and having low self-confidence. The instrument used was a self-confidence scale that included indicators of belief in one’s abilities, courage to express opinions, and ability to face challenges. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed an increase in the average self-confidence score from 46.67 (low category) in the pretest to 71.67 (medium category) in the posttest, with a difference of 25.00. The hypothesis test produced a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between before and after the intervention. These findings demonstrate that group guidance with the sociodrama technique is effective in improving the self-confidence of students from disharmonious families. Thus, the sociodrama technique can be considered an alternative guidance strategy in schools to help students cope with psychological and social problems caused by unfavorable family conditions.

Abstract

This study investigated the prevalence of work stress and its impact on marital stability among married lecturers at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. A descriptive correlational survey design was employed, and 100 married lecturers were selected through a multistage sampling technique across five faculties. Data were gathered using a researcher-designed instrument titled “Work Stress and Marital Stability Questionnaire (WSMSQ),” which demonstrated strong reliability with a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.81. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA, were used to analyze the data at a 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between work stress and marital stability (r = –.426, p < .05), indicating that increased work stress is associated with reduced marital stability. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the relationship between work stress and marital stability based on gender, academic rank, or religion. These findings suggest that work-related stress affects marital relationships broadly, regardless of these demographic variables. The study recommends the establishment of faculty-based counselling services, institutional stress management policies, and marital support programs to help academic staff maintain healthy work-life balance. The study uniquely examines the marital implications of occupational stress among Nigerian lecturers, whereas prior studies have focused mainly on occupational outcomes.

Abstract

Motivation is an important determinant for students’ academic achievement; however, many pupils report that their learning motivation decreases in particular prior to exams. Preventive steps, guidance and counseling teachers or school counselors reported lack of concentration, high anxiety, and low enthusiasm among high school students. This study investigated the utility of a Cognitive-Behavioral Psychoeducational Community Music Therapy Seminar/Workshop in improving students' motivation to learn before exams. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used with 213 senior high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia, aged between 15 to 18 years old. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was employed to assess students’ motivation and learning strategies. The intervention, psychoeducation content using music therapy activities including group singing, rhythm-playing, and reflect. The paired-sample t-tests and effect size (Cohen’s d) was performed to data. Results revealed a highly significant elevation in overall motivation (Pretest M = 4.21; Posttest M = 4.78; t (212) = 14.32, p < .001; Cohen’s d = 0.69). Results of subscale analyses indicated there were increases in intrinsic goal orientation, task value, self-efficacy, and metacognitive self-regulation while test anxiety was decreased. Findings endorse the feasibility of CoMT-based seminars to be utilized as effective strategic school interventions for enhancing motivation and examination readiness. The incorporation of music therapy into guidance and counseling programs offers one dynamic and empirically supported method to support academic resilience among teenage students.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has opened up new opportunities in education, including for students with special needs who often face obstacles in acquiring career skills, resulting in low career literacy and impacting their career readiness. This study aims to develop a digital career literacy-based gamification application as an innovative learning medium to improve the career readiness of students with special needs, with a scope covering design, development, and testing in accordance with their cognitive characteristics and learning needs. The study used a simplified Borg & Gall R&D model consisting of five stages, involving 30 students with special needs from inclusive schools in East Java, with instruments in the form of expert validation questionnaires, career readiness tests, and observations of student engagement. The results showed that the expert validation of the media obtained an average score of 88.5% (highly valid), the expert validation of the material was 91.2% (highly feasible), student engagement was 85%, and there was a significant increase in career readiness with an average pretest score of 62.4 to a posttest score of 82.7, or an increase of 32.5%. The digital career literacy gamification application has been proven to be valid, practical, and effective in improving the career readiness of students with special needs. Future research is recommended to involve a more diverse subject group and integrate adaptive technology for more optimal results.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to map a decade (2015–2025) of Indonesian research on self-harm among secondary-school students and undergraduates while examining its implications for guidance and counseling practice in schools and universities. The methods applied were a bilingual, population-bounded bibliometric design in which data were retrieved from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish (PoP), screened through a PRISMA-guided protocol, and analyzed with performance indicators such as annual output, sources, top documents, and citation trends, complemented by science-mapping techniques including keyword harmonization and VOSviewer-based co-word networks. The results show that from 440 records initially retrieved, 119 studies met the eligibility criteria, with research output accelerating significantly after 2021, peaking in 2024, and showing comparable momentum in 2025. Publications were dispersed across fragmented venues, with citations concentrated in a few national journals, and thematic clusters focused on adolescents, social media, cyberbullying, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, while intervention models, validated measurement tools, and evaluative studies remained underrepresented. The conclusions drawn indicate that Indonesian research on self-harm has expanded rapidly yet remains largely descriptive, thereby underscoring the need for nationally representative prevalence studies, the development and rigorous evaluation of culturally grounded counseling interventions, cross-database triangulation to enhance visibility, and the systematic embedding of guidance and counseling practices into intervention research to advance both scientific relevance and practical impact. Nevertheless, this study is limited by its reliance on a single database (Google Scholar), a single-reviewer screening process, and citation-based indicators that may not be directly comparable with WoS/Scopus metrics.

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the high number of college students choosing unsuitable career choices. The impact of choosing an unsuitable career path can significantly hinder the development of Indonesian human resources in the context of the industry 4.0 era. This is caused by shifting paradigms in the recruitment process of most companies or institutions that no longer prioritize a diploma as the key factor in seeking new hires. Instead, there is greater emphasis on the employee's skills, interests, creativity, and innovation, followed by a diploma and achievement index. Descriptive-qualitative design was employed. Samples were collected from college students at several universities in Surabaya using a purposive sampling technique. This study uses two assessment tests: the Lee-Thorpe test and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as predictive studies to identify which tests and subtests provide meaningful precursors for predicting students' interests and personality. The suitable career choices were facilitated through narrative and career counseling. The results show that, even when students' major didn't align with their interest and personality, proper career guidance can help them make a more suitable career choice through several adjustments. At first, students are advised to finish their degree but continue on a more suitable career according to their interest. However, if their current degree is completely incompatible, students are advised to switch to a new major which better align with their interest. Suitable career choices will help college students develop into a more robust human capital to thrive amid global competition in the industry 4.0 era.
