Abstract

This study examines the impact of President Donald Trump’s visa policies on shifts in US education diplomacy within the context of global geopolitics, with particular attention to their implications for international students from Muslim-majority countries and Islamic education networks. Restrictive measures during his administration, including limitations on F-1 and J-1 visas and travel bans targeting several Muslim-majority states, led to a notable decline in international student mobility and weakened the United States’ position as a leading global education destination. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and desk study method, this research is supported by individual-level foreign policy theory and education diplomacy theory. The analysis explores how Trump’s perceptions and leadership style shaped policies affecting higher education, including Islamic education-oriented exchanges and collaborations. It also highlights responses from competing countries such as Canada, Australia, and China, which expanded inclusive education policies and strengthened engagement with Islamic and Global South students. The findings show that these visa policies reduced US soft power and created opportunities for other states to lead in global education diplomacy, underscoring the need for more inclusive policy reforms.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to investigate Junggringan Kawruh Jiwa, a psychospiritual approach grounded in Javanese local wisdom, and its effects on the academic pressure faced by Vocational High School (SMK) students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Data for this study were collected using qualitative methods with a case study design. It included in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The study findings show that the use of knowledge on the edge of psychic is practical for students to use in managing academic anxiety in three main ways: (1) daily reflection rituals: students meditate and breathe, raising their own awareness while at the same time dispersing symptoms of stress; (2) context learning: students employ Javanese philosophical values such as memayu hayuning bawana and urip mung mampir ngombe as a framework to see academic pressure as a part of the inner maturation process; and (3) emotional mentoring from teachers who serve as surrogate parents provides students with psychological support and a place for them to express their emotions outright. Student respondents were generally positive about the program, showing increased openness, decreased anxiety, and increased self-belief, despite initial resistance. The contribution of this research lies in its complementing school guidance and counseling with a whole-school, local cultural approach. It likewise offers sustainable, context-based models of psychospiritual intervention for students from low-income family backgrounds.
