This study examines descriptive and differences with Welch with the help of WINSTEPS Version 4.7.0. The results show that there is a significant difference between male and female academic stress. Other findings found that women's academic stress tended to be higher than that of men, and what was interesting from this data was that there was a woman who was at the highest logit or an outlier, meaning that this woman needed to be given intervention to reduce her stress by providing individual counseling services.

Abstract

Cognitive flexibility of a counselor or therapist refers to their ability to adapt their cognitive approach to the unique needs and circumstances of their clients. This requires the ability to recognize and adapt to the unique cognitive processes and thought patterns of each individual. In the contextual development of cognitive flexibility in counselors, the organic-medical paradigm and the psychological paradigm have led to a revolution. The existence of these two paradigm perspectives necessitates a unique study that bridges the concept of understanding the two paradigms holistically in order to enhance the cognitive flexibility of the counselor. The purpose of this study is to investigate where the organic-medical paradigm and the psychological paradigm intersect when examining the cognitive flexibility of the counselor. The research design was quantitative and based on a critical literature review. The research focuses on three major components: (1) context issues regarding counselor cognitive flexibility from the perspective of the medical organic paradigm and psychological paradigm; (2) issues regarding the main implicit and boundary problems of counselor cognitive flexibility on professional work performance based on literature research data; and (3) the most promising questions for future research development. In this article, the research findings are discussed further.

Abstract

The prevalence of depression among language learners, specifically Arabic learners, should receive proper attention from academics. Unfortunately, it would be easily overlooked by scholars because they were tend more focusing on the development of effective teaching strategy. The objective of current study was to investigate the effect of demographic variables and language proficiency on symptoms of depression in individuals learning Arabic as a second language. This cross-sectional study involved 1126 participants who voluntarily provided their consent. Of the participants, 762 were female and 364 were male (age M = 20.03 and SD = 1.56). The study collected demographic information, assess language acquisition levels, and measure symptoms of depression. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results showed that model proposed in this study with its predictors explained 7.5% of the variance in depression symptoms while factors such as sex, number of siblings, living arrangement, listening skills, and reading skills were found being significant predictors in the model. This study highlights the prevalence of depression among individuals learning Arabic as a second language and the importance of demographic variables and language proficiency in predicting depression symptoms. The findings suggest that interventions to address depression in this population should take into account factors such as sex, number of siblings, living arrangement, and language skills.

Abstract

The majority of Islamic religious education institutions still segregate themselves from public education. The purpose of this study is to analyze the design of Islamic religious education in Indonesia. Research methods utilizing the systematic literature review (SLR) refer to methods for finding, judging, and interpreting all available literature related to the formulation of problems or areas of topics studied. Nvivo software was used to help analyze the research data. There are 72 documents discussing the design of Islamic education. However, after screening according to the criteria, there are only 10 documents left that are then analyzed. Document data is obtained through a dimensional database. Research results show that there are four main themes that have the most potential in the discussion of Islamic education design. The four sub-themes include integration of Islamic values in the education system, shift of the Islamic education paradigm, hadith concept in Islamic religious education, and the role of parents in Islamic religious education. This is related to the design of Islamic religious education in Indonesia.

Abstract

The educational curriculum is made up of learning materials and activities that are meant to help students learn the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become productive, skilled, and good global citizens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the most productive authors in terms of publication output, as well as the most cited educational curriculum topics. Scopus data sources are utilized because they are considered suitable for analysis with blibliometrics. As a bibliometric analysis tool, VOSviewer software is used to show the author's network, and keywords. Then, for future theme prediction analysis, utilize Rstudio software. The search was conducted on the keyword education curriculum in 2021. Data was obtained from 437 publication documents. Results showed that the authors wrote most of Anderson P's publications, followed by Ayaz-AlKay S and Barrett M. However, in terms of the highest number of citations, different results were found. The highest-grossing writers of 2021 were O'Connor J and Penney D. As expected, the keywords of the education curriculum will be included in the list of keywords that are still in demand by researchers. A number of anticipated keywords will continue to be in demand in the future. There are themes of human, curriculum, child, student, physical education, COVID-19/SARS-cov-2, and medical. These themes, which could serve as future authors' references to the educational curriculum, can be collaborated on.

Abstract

Teaching is an important component of counselor education. However, there is a lack of literature exploring the developmental progress of counselor educators as teachers. In the following article, we review the research on doctoral-level teaching preparation in counselor education, present a synthesized model of teacher development informed from thirteen historic teacher developmental models, discuss our model in the context of counselor education, and provide limitations and recommendations for future research. Through this manuscript, counselor educators will learn the developmental trajectory of doctoral students and counselor educators. This will lead to a better understanding of the ways we facilitate and strengthen counselor educators development as teachers.
