Abstract

The deployment of character education within Islamic-oriented public boarding schools throughout Indonesia has experienced significant expansion, encompassing both primary and secondary educational tiers. Originally initiated by private entities, this boarding school paradigm has now been embraced by public educational institutions, many of which have emerged as prominent leaders in the field. This educational framework draws inspiration from traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and prioritizes character development through the integration of religious-humanist principles that are ingrained in everyday practice. The objective of this study is to investigate the framework of character education in state senior high schools that implement the boarding school model. Employing a qualitative research methodology, data were gathered via observational techniques and structured interviews. The results indicate that character education is cultivated through a cohesive and continuous curriculum that interlinks academic instruction with dormitory living experiences. Values are enhanced through systematically organized school programs and are further reinforced by routine dormitory engagements. The institutions also advocate for moral advancement through the cultivation of spiritual consciousness and foster a cohesive culture that bridges academic pursuits with residential life. Furthermore, extracurricular initiatives are utilized to develop not only ethical comprehension but also the social competencies and soft skills of students. These findings underscore the potential efficacy of the boarding school model in promoting comprehensive character development within public educational frameworks.

Abstract

Achievement emotions are recognized as key factors influencing students' success in mathematics. However, no Achievement Emotions Questionnaire for Mathematics (AEQ-M) specifically tailored for Indonesian senior high school students has been developed. This study aims to translate the 68-item AEQ-M into Indonesian and validate its use for senior high school students in Indonesia, termed AEQ-M-SHS-I. A purposive cluster sampling method was used to select 198 tenth and eleventh-grade students in West Java, Indonesia. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, item analysis, and reliability testing. Structural, convergent, and discriminant validity were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). All of data analyses were supported by SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The Indonesian AEQ-M-SHS-I consists of ten factors and 68 items, all demonstrating good discriminant validity. CFA showed good structural model fit indices (e.g., X²/df = 2.245, CFI = 0.937, TLI = 0.950, SRMR = 0.059, RMSEA = 0.079). Moreover, all of ten emotions in the AEQ-M-SHS-I had ideal convergent validity. Additionally, the tool exhibited high internal consistency (? = 0.868). These results indicate that the AEQ-M-SHS-I is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing achievement emotions in mathematics among Indonesian senior high school students.

Abstract

Mental health has become a growing global concern, reflected in the increasing prevalence of psychological disorders worldwide. Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) has gained recognition as an effective intervention to promote psychological well-being. This article investigates the efficacy of CMT, its underlying psychological paradigms, and the limitations of its implementation through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA flow diagram. A total of 96 documents were initially retrieved from the Scopus database, with 12 articles selected following rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria related to publication year, document type, language, access, population, and context. Findings indicate that CMT significantly enhances self-compassion, reduces stress, anxiety, and burnout, and improves emotional and social functioning. CMT is primarily grounded in a psychological within-paradigm, which emphasizes the integration of internal and external emotion regulation processes. However, several limitations persist, including the absence of a standardized curriculum and difficulties in implementation across diverse cultural and institutional settings. Challenges include fragmented program design and the lack of integration strategies within educational and professional frameworks. The study recommends further research to support cultural adaptation and the development of flexible, evidence-based training models to improve contextual applicability and long-term effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze research trends in Islamic family law and counseling from 1988 to 2024 using a bibliometric approach. Islamic family law is an important branch of Islamic law that has a direct influence on the social, spiritual, and psychological life of Muslims. In the face of global social changes, such as secularization, family value shifts, and issues of gender justice and child protection, a more contextual understanding of the application of Islamic family law is needed. In this context, a counseling approach emerged as an important alternative to accommodating the emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of Muslim families. This study analyzed 229 documents taken from the Scopus database, then filtered them through a systematic approach until 17 relevant major publications were obtained. Analysis was conducted with the help of VOSviewer and RStudio software to map keywords, thematic relationships, and collaboration networks between authors and journals. Research results show that the dominant issues that arise include child marriage, polygamy, inheritance, women's rights, family mediation, and interfaith marriage. Thematic cluster visualization highlights five main focuses in the discussion of Islamic family law that are interconnected with contemporary social and cultural issues. This study asserts that the integration between Islamic legal norms and counseling approaches can strengthen the resilience of Muslim families, as well as provide solutions that are not only legal-formal, but also empathic, adaptive, and sustainable. This finding is expected to be the basis for the development of Islamic law that is more responsive to the dynamics of modern society.

Abstract

Writing is one of the language skills that is considered difficult because students are required to express ideas in written English correctly. This study aims to investigate the effect of using picture series in improving students’ writing skills. This study used experimental research in a junior high school. The results of this study indicate that the use of series of images has made a significant difference in improving students' writing skills. A series of images that are chosen appropriately can build students' interest and attention to the learning process. This will create an enthusiastic and lively learning atmosphere. Things that need to be considered are the selection of series of images that are easy and familiar to students to avoid irrelevant comments from students, series of images should not be funny images that will cause irrelevant comments and an uncontrolled classroom atmosphere. Giving students assignments individually can waste time in teaching writing using series of images. To avoid this, it is recommended to distribute copies of the picture series to students a week in advance, so that students can study the pictures early.

Abstract

Academic resilience is crucial for students. It enhances their ability to manage academic difficulties, which underscores its importance in educational settings. This study aims to develop and validate the College Academic Resilience Scale (CARS), which assesses academic resilience in undergraduates. 200 undergraduate students from South Sumatra, Indonesia, were used to analyze using the multifactor confirmatory factor analysis model and the polytomous Rasch model. This measure consists of five dimensions that measure academic resilience, indicating that an overall analysis of items in academic resilience instruments using Rasch modeling has good validity and reliability. Furthermore, more research on measurement validation is needed in diverse cultures and countries.

Abstract

This study adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework to analyze the influence of system factors and organizational structure on the successful implementation of integrated eCampus systems in higher education. Digital transformation in higher education is a complex challenge influenced by system quality, information quality, organizational support, managerial support, and human resource capacity.The research uses a quantitative approach, with data collected through surveys and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results confirm that the measurement model exhibits adequate validity and reliability. The inner model analysis reveals that all hypothesized relationships between constructs are statistically significant.Crucially, the paths demonstrating the greatest influence were the relationship of Perceived Ease of Use to Perceived Usefulness (? = 0.735) and Behavioral Intention to Use to User Satisfaction (? = 0.727).These findings confirm that perceived ease of use and behavioral intention to use are key factors in increasing perceived benefits and user satisfaction with the eCampus system. This research offers theoretical contributions to the development of the TAM model and practical implications for policymakers in designing effective and sustainable academic information system implementation strategies.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review of gratitude-based interventions from 2020 to 2025 to assess their psychological impact and position them within the therapy paradigms of Rocco Cottone. Based on 52 peer-reviewed articles identifying through a PRISMA-guided search, the results show that gratitude interventions effectively reduce the symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma-related distress. These functions improve Emotional and Spiritual Well-being, self-regulation, and relationships across various populations including students, employees, patients, and caregivers. A major uniqueness of this review is the application of Cottone's paradigmatic pie—psychological internal, external, inter, cross, and multi paradigms—contributing an innovative angle to analyzing the mechanisms and contexts of gratitude interventions. Most of the interventions were found within inter and internal paradigm models, whereas the transparadigm model which integrates biological, psychological, and social aspects, showed particular promise in clinical and organizational settings. This review also highlights the underappreciated role of gratitude in responding to post-digital socio-psychological stress uniquely relevant in today's fractured world. The study concludes that gratitude is a strategically valuable, multifaceted, flexible, and low-cost resource that can be easily weaved into modern counseling practice. Discussion is provided on implications for theory, practice, and future inquiries.

Abstract

Parental style shapes a child’s character and emotional resilience, particularly within single-parent families. This study explores how single parents implement democratic parenting and how it influences the emotional resilience of children aged 7 and 8. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving three single parents and two teachers at SD Muhammadiyah Tonggalan. Thematic analysis revealed that democratic parenting—characterized by open communication, rule negotiation, and consistent emotional support—could still be applied effectively by single parents despite their dual-role burdens. Children raised under this approach exhibited high levels of emotional resilience, including emotional regulation, conflict resolution, frustration tolerance, and confidence in social interaction. External factors such as teacher and peer support also significantly enhanced emotional resilience. These findings highlight the strategic role of schools and community programs in supporting single parents in adopting effective parenting strategies for optimal child development.
