Enhancing Procedural Understanding of Group Counseling Practices Through Video-Based Learning: An Experimental Study With Counseling Students
type: item
description: Developing procedural understanding of group counseling practices is a critical objective in counselor education, as effective counseling requires not only conceptual knowledge but also the ability to implement counseling procedures accurately and systematically. However, many counseling students experience difficulties translating theoretical knowledge into procedural practice. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of video-based learning in enhancing counseling students’ procedural understanding of group counseling practices. Using a quantitative experimental approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 36 undergraduate counseling students enrolled in a guidance and counseling program at a public university. Students’ procedural understanding was measured before and after the implementation of a video-based learning intervention that demonstrated the stages and procedures of group counseling. Descriptive analyses indicated substantial increases in mean scores and positive shifts in procedural understanding categories following the intervention. Inferential analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = −3.48, p < .001). The findings indicate that video-based learning effectively enhances counseling students’ procedural understanding of group counseling practices. This study contributes to the counselor education literature by providing empirical evidence supporting video-based learning as a pedagogical strategy for teaching procedural aspects of group counseling and highlights its potential to bridge the gap between theory and practice in counselor training.

Enhancing Students’ Understanding of Online Game Dangers through Information Services
type: item
description: The increasing prevalence of online game addiction among adolescents has become a serious concern due to its negative impact on students’ academic balance and mental health. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of information services in improving students’ understanding of the risks associated with online gaming at SMA Negeri 1 Kejuruan Muda, Aceh Tamiang. A quantitative experimental approach was employed using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 144 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and systematic observations. The questionnaire was administered in three stages: an initial survey to identify students’ involvement in online gaming, a pretest to assess their baseline understanding of online gaming risks, and a posttest to measure changes in understanding following the implementation of the information service. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ understanding of the dangers of online gaming after receiving the information service. Comparisons between pretest and posttest scores demonstrated increased awareness of the negative consequences of online gaming, including addiction, health problems, declining academic performance, and changes in social behavior. Observational findings further revealed higher student engagement and improved self-regulation in managing gaming time. These findings confirm that information services are an effective strategy for enhancing students’ understanding of online game hazards and should be integrated into school guidance and counseling programs.

A Conceptual Study on the Effects of Bullying on Academic Engagement among Elementary School Students
type: item
description: This study provides a theoretical investigation into the multidimensional impacts of bullying on students’ academic and social activities within elementary schools. Utilizing a literature review approach, this paper synthesizes findings from academic journals, educational reports, and media publications to explore how bullying affects students’ learning engagement, classroom participation, and mental well-being. Documentation methods were employed to collect and analyze relevant sources, enabling a conceptual understanding of bullying as one of the major ethical and psychological challenges in education. The findings reveal that victims of bullying often experience decreased academic performance, emotional distress, and social withdrawal due to persistent fear and anxiety in school environments. This study contributes to the theoretical and practical discourse on creating safe learning environments and highlights the necessity of preventive and intervention strategies to promote anti-bullying awareness among educators and policymakers.

The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving caregivers, career mentors, and active foster participants in the program. The findings revealed that Islamic value–integrated career guidance significantly improved self-confidence, independence, and mental preparedness for work transition. Three key themes emerged: (1) implementation of Islamic character-based career programs, (2) enhancement of mental readiness and career orientation, and (3) mentoring strategies to overcome emotional and social challenges among orphans. These results highlight the importance of a holistic, spirituality-based approach in expanding both theoretical understanding and practical applications of Islamic career counseling within faith-based social institutions.

The Psychospiritual Function of Shalat Dhuha in Reducing Academic Anxiety among University Students: A Phenomenological Study
type: item
description: This qualitative study explores the function of Shalat Dhuha (mid-morning prayer) in reducing anxiety among final-year students in the Islamic Guidance and Counseling Program. The phenomenon of academic anxiety, intensified by thesis-related pressure and social expectations, was examined through a phenomenological approach to capture students’ lived spiritual and psychological experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and reflective documentation, involving six purposively selected participants. Thematic analysis identified three main forms of anxiety, psychological, physiological, and socio-moral, each interlinked within students’ academic and spiritual lives. Findings revealed that consistent performance of Shalat Dhuha fosters emotional balance, self-regulation, and spiritual awareness, functioning as an effective religious coping mechanism. The prayer cultivates calmness, gratitude, and tawakkul (trustful surrender), aligning with the principles of Islamic psychology and mindfulness-based therapy. The study contributes to the theoretical development of Islamic Guidance and Counseling, bridging spiritual practice with modern psychological frameworks. Practically, it proposes the integration of structured Shalat Dhuha-based counseling within higher education as a holistic model for addressing student anxiety and enhancing well-being.

Instilling Marriage Values Among Muslim Karo Adolescents: An Islamic Counseling Perspective
type: item
description: The phenomenon of religious conversion driven by marriage is increasingly prevalent among adolescents and young adults. This issue is often influenced by several factors, including cultural attachment, environmental pressure, and parental preoccupation with work, which limits open communication and supervision of their children. However, the lack of consistent religious guidance from parents during childhood and adolescence emerges as a dominant factor influencing religious conversion for marital reasons. This study aims to explore how Karo Muslim families instill marital values in their adolescent children and to understand the role of religious guidance in shaping these values. The research employed a qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. Participants included five Karo Muslim families with adolescent children, the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), and religious leaders. The findings indicate that marital values are instilled by parents as children reach adolescence (baligh). Religious guidance is conveyed through advice, exemplary behavior, and parental supervision. However, the effectiveness of such guidance is often hindered by limited parental religious knowledge, strong adherence to cultural traditions, work-related busyness, and environmental influences. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intersection of family, religion, and culture in shaping adolescents’ perceptions of marriage and underscores the importance of continuous religious education within Muslim families.

The Relationship Between Locus of Control and Fear of Missing Out Among K-Pop Fans on Social Media
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the relationship between locus of control and fear of missing out (FoMO) among K-Pop fans (K-Popers) on social media. The research employed a quantitative correlational design with 200 participants, selected through a convenience sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test to identify the association between the two variables. The findings reveal that the dominant dimension of locus of control among participants was the external-chance factor, while the primary component influencing FoMO was anxiety. Furthermore, the analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between locus of control and FoMO, with a weak correlation strength of 19.6%. This suggests that the higher the external locus of control, the higher the level of FoMO experienced by K-Pop fans on social media. The results also indicate that individuals who are more externally oriented in their locus of control tend to depend on external validation and connection, which in turn fosters FoMO-related behaviors. This study contributes to the understanding of how personality factors influence digital behavior in fan communities, providing a psychological perspective on social media engagement among K-Pop fans.

The Role of Guidance and Counseling Teachers in Addressing Pornography Issues among Students
type: item
description: The phenomenon of pornography exposure among junior and senior high school students has become an increasingly serious concern in the educational context. This study aims to examine the role of guidance and counseling (BK) teachers in addressing and mitigating pornography-related problems in schools. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed in this research. The study involved five guidance and counseling teachers selected purposively from various educational levels in Medan City, including junior high school (SMP), Islamic junior high school (MTs), senior high school (SMA), Islamic senior high school (MA), and vocational high school (SMK). The findings indicate that BK teachers employ diverse counseling techniques, with individual counseling being the most commonly used method. The preventive and remedial efforts undertaken by BK teachers include conducting psychoeducational programs, engaging in parent-teacher collaboration, and establishing partnerships with relevant stakeholders. However, the study also highlights several challenges, particularly the lack of parental supervision and cooperation, which hinders the effectiveness of counseling interventions. These results emphasize the need for strengthening family-school collaboration and developing comprehensive strategies for preventing pornography exposure among adolescents in educational settings.

The Role of Family in the Social and Emotional Development of Adolescents from Broken Homes: A Case Study in Seulalah Baru Village
type: item
description: This study aims to explore in depth the role of the family in the social and emotional development of adolescents from broken homes in Seulalah Baru Village, Langsa City. The increasing prevalence of family disharmony and parental divorce has generated significant psychosocial impacts on adolescent well-being. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, allowing the researcher to examine adolescents’ subjective experiences and family interaction dynamics within their sociocultural context. The participants consisted of three broken-home families selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that adolescents’ social and emotional development in broken-home families is influenced by parenting patterns, communication quality, emotional support, religious values, and social environment. The study identifies family religiosity and community support as protective factors that mitigate emotional instability and maladaptive behavior among adolescents. The results further emphasize that the quality of emotional relationships and family communication is more crucial to adolescents’ socio-emotional well-being than the structural completeness of the family itself. Theoretically, this study strengthens Bandura’s social learning theory and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory. Practically, it provides a foundation for developing family support programs rooted in cultural and spiritual values, contributing to more holistic and contextually relevant interventions for adolescents from broken-home families.

Children’s Emotional Development in Single-Parent Families: A Case Study in Kotangan Village Galang District
type: item
description: The phenomenon of single-parent families has been increasing globally and has a significant impact on children’s emotional development, particularly within the socio-cultural context of rural Indonesian communities. This study aims to analyze the emotional development of children in single-parent families, identify the influencing factors, and examine the challenges faced in the parenting process. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The population consisted of single-parent families in Kotangan Village, Galang District, Deli Serdang Regency, with three families selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included interview guidelines, observation sheets, and documentation checklists. The procedure involved in-depth interviews, direct observations, and data triangulation to ensure validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which comprised data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that children’s emotional development in single-parent families was influenced by parenting patterns, the psychological condition of mothers, social support, and religious values. The study concludes that religiosity and social environment function as protective factors that foster emotional stability among children in single-parent households. The findings have theoretical and practical implications for developing culturally and spiritually based family support programs. Future studies are recommended to expand the scope and sample diversity to achieve broader generalization.

Academic Procrastination among Students with Dual Roles as Workers and Parents
type: item
description: Academic procrastination is frequently observed among college students, especially those juggling multiple roles, including work and child-rearing. The demands of educational, professional, and familial duties can significantly hinder their capacity to finish assignments punctually. This study follows the Temporal Motivation Theory (Steel, 2007) and employs a unique case study methodology, focusing on two individuals from Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo (UMSIDA). The selection of participants was carried out using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and observations where the researchers did not take part, followed by analysis using the thematic approach outlined by Miles and Huberman. The results identify three primary reasons for procrastination: (1) a lack of belief in achieving success due to exhaustion, (2) a reduced perceived importance of academic tasks in comparison to work or family responsibilities, and; (3) a loose interpretation of deadlines. The study concludes that procrastination in academia acts as a way to cope with conflicting roles and helps in preserving mental balance

A Qualitative Case Study on The Formation of High Self-Esteem in Visually Impaired Adolescents Based on Coopersmith’s Theory
type: item
description: This study explores the process of developing high self-esteem among visually impaired adolescents at SLB A Bina Insani, Bandar Lampung, based on Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Theory (1967). A qualitative approach with a multiple case study design was used to explore in depth the psychological and social processes underlying self-esteem. Three participants with high self-esteem were selected using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The results show that high self-esteem is formed dynamically through the interaction of internal and external factors. Coopersmith's four factors : acceptance, control, expectations and standards, and rewarding of competence interact with aspects of self-esteem : significance, competence, virtue, and power through self-acceptance, realistic expectations, independence, and appreciation of self-competence. Social support from family, teachers, and peers strengthens this process, resulting in independence, optimism, and resilience in the face of stigma and obstacles. This study emphasizes the importance of unconditional acceptance from family, an inclusive and supportive learning environment, and a culture of appreciation to support the development of positive self-esteem in visually impaired adolescents

The Role of Wilayatul Hisbah in Enforcing Order on Juvenile Deviant Behavior: A Qualitative Study in Banda Aceh
type: item
description: This study aims to describe the role of the Wilayatul Hisbah in regulating deviant activities among adolescents in the Blang Padang Field area of Banda Aceh and to identify the inhibiting factors in the implementation of such enforcement. Deviant activities in this context include behaviors that contradict Islamic sharia norms, such as promiscuity, violations of dress codes, and activities potentially leading to juvenile delinquency. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews with Wilayatul Hisbah officers, community leaders, and adolescents in the area, as well as document analysis. The findings reveal that the Wilayatul Hisbah plays a strategic role as a sharia law enforcement body through routine patrols, guidance programs, and preventive measures. However, the effectiveness of these efforts is hindered by a shortage of personnel, limited operational budgets, and resistance from certain groups of adolescents. These findings underscore the importance of synergy among the Wilayatul Hisbah, families, educational institutions, and the wider community to foster a social environment that supports adolescent character development in accordance with Islamic values.

Challenges and Opportunities of Special Needs Teachers in Inclusive Schools: A Thematic Qualitative Study on Teachers' Psychological Well-Being
type: item
description: This research explores the challenges and opportunities experienced by teachers of students with special needs (TSSN) in inclusive schools, as well as the impact on their psychological well-being (stress and relationship with others). Students with special needs (SSN) possess the same right to education as their peers without special needs, and the implementation of inclusive education in Indonesia places teachers at the forefront of addressing student diversity. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with thematic analysis of data obtained from open-ended online questionnaires completed by 58 inclusive school teachers (81% female, mean age 36.38 years, with varying teaching experience). The findings indicate that the primary challenges faced by teachers include a lack of in-depth understanding of TSSNs, inadequate facilities, difficulties in managing learning and classroom dynamics, and the need to respond to a wide range of student behaviors and emotions. Nevertheless, teachers also identified opportunities to improve their competencies and build meaningful relationships with students. The discussion highlights the necessity for more comprehensive support from schools and the government, encompassing training, adequate facilities, adaptive curricula, and professional support teams. In conclusion, this research highlights the importance of psychological interventions and systemic support to improve the well-being of inclusive school teachers, which will ultimately positively impact the quality of education for SSNs. This finding is useful for designing school-based interventions and public policies that support the well-being of inclusive education teachers.

Enhancing Mental Health Services Through Digital Communication: Case Study of The KALM Application
type: item
description: This study aims to improve digital communication and mental health support through the KALM application by developing more inclusive, user-centered, and psychologically impactful digital mental health services to meet the growing demand for mental health care in urban and rural areas. Using a qualitative approach, literature review and observation methods were applied to collect relevant data from scholarly articles, reports, books, and direct observations of the KALM platform. The findings indicate that KALM has great potential to improve communication between counselors and clients through features such as chat sessions, video calls, and offline counseling. Approximately 80% of users reported feeling more comfortable using this platform compared to face-to-face counseling. The digital campaign #KitaPerluCerita has also been effective in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and raising public awareness. Additional features like the Gratitude Journal and Well-being Tracker play a significant role in enhancing clients' mental well-being. However, the study identified some challenges, such as internet connectivity issues and counselors' scheduling limitations. The KALM application proves to be effective in providing accessible counseling services and supporting mental health improvement for the Indonesian community, although certain technical issues need to be addressed in the future.

The Effect of Helicopter Parenting on Self-Differentiation Among Indonesian Emerging Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on Bowen Family Systems Theory
type: item
description: Emerging adulthood is a critical developmental stage marked by increasing independence and evolving family dynamics. A key challenge in family counseling in this transitional period is facilitating the balance between parental support and the development of self-sufficiency. This quantiative study examines the relationship between Helicopter Parenting (HP) and Differentiation of Self (DoS) among Indonesian emerging adults and its implications towards family counseling, using Bowen Family Systems Theory as a framework. A cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected from 215 Indonesian participants aged 18-30. Participants completed measures of perceived HP and DoS, and results were analyzed using correlation and regression analyses. Findings show a negative effect of HP on overall DoS, particularly in emotional distancing and relational sensitivity. These results support the notion that overparenting may hinder the individuation of emerging adults, reinforcing emotional reactivity and relational dependence, indicating a family projection process. The importance of understanding the effects of HP and the family projection process on the well-being of the family and future research directions are discussed.

Exploring the Correlation Between Psychological Well-Being and Hope: Evidence from Vocational Students in Indonesia
type: item
description: Vocational high school students face challenges in planning their future, whether choosing to work or continue their education. Hope is a crucial factor in determining future steps, which can be influenced by psychological well-being. This study aims to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and hope among 11th-grade students at SMKN 7 Surakarta. The results of this study can encourage educational institutions and teachers to pay more attention to students' psychological well-being. This research employs a quantitative method using Pearson’s Product Moment correlation technique. The sample consists of 276 students selected through simple random sampling. The instruments used are the Adult Hope Scale (AHS) based on Snyder’s theory and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB) based on Ryff’s theory. The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between psychological well-being and hope (r = 0.285, p < 0.05), although categorized as weak. Additional analysis reveals significant differences in hope based on gender and study program but not age. Male students exhibit higher hope levels than female students, while students in the Tourism Services program have the highest average hope scores, and those in Broadcasting and Film have the lowest. In conclusion, psychological well-being contributes to hope, but other factors also play a role, suggesting that future research should explore additional aspects.

Perceptions of Verbal Toxic Positivity in Academic Interactions: A Study among University Students
type: item
description: This research aims to explore students' perceptions of the phenomenon of verbal toxic positivity in academic interactions, particularly between lecturers and students. Toxic positivity is a form of communication that conveys positive messages excessively without considering the emotional context of the recipient, which can actually have a negative impact on mental health. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 81 students of the English Education Study Program at STKIP PGRI Ponorogo. The research results show that the most dominant form of verbal toxic positivity is in the form of advice and affirmation. The main triggering situation is the continuous repetition of those statements by the lecturer, especially when students are experiencing emotional stress. The psychological impacts most felt by students are low self-esteem, feelings of depression, and the inability to express emotions in a healthy way. These findings emphasize the importance of faculty awareness, both as educators and academic advisors, in building empathetic and adaptive communication to create an academic environment that supports students' mental well-being. This study also recommends the development of communication and student well-being training to avoid the practice of verbal toxic positivity in the context of academics and academic guidance.

Teleconsultation Benefits for School Counselors: An Optional Path for Enhancing Educational Support System
type: item
description: Consultation is part of school counselor services. As a professional, counselors also need ongoing and continuous consultation with other professionals in order to overcome frustration, improve skills, self-development, and advocacy. One of its forms is teleconsultation. Teleconsultation is an option in order to improve the education support system. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of teleconsultation carried out by school counselors to other professionals (senior counselors). The teleconsultation in question is a consultation using the chat feature on the Whatsapp application. Data were collected by interviewing 2 school counselors as participants and then analyzed using the Miles and Hubermann techniques. The results of this study indicate that the reasons for effectiveness, efficiency, and professional experience of consultants are the reasons counselors use teleconsultation. School counselors gain new understanding and feel satisfied after teleconsultation is carried out. Not only that, they also apply the results of teleconsultation with consultants. Teleconsultation answers their needs as school counselors and will continue to use teleconsultation in the future. Thus, the professional activities of school counselors increase with the existence of teleconsultation so that it can be used as an option to improve the educational support system.

Counselor Personality and The Development of Personal Theory in Behavioristic Counseling: A Literature-Based Exploration
type: item
description: The professionalism of the counselor is judged by how well he understands himself first before seeing the problem or potential or understanding the counselee. The counselor over time in applying his knowledge can integrate the theory of techniques that are best understood and mastered, so that the counselor has his own style. Counselors in choosing their personal counseling theory use a counseling theory approach assessment instrument developed by Finch. The research method used is literature study and phenomenology which is carried out by finding literature sources, reading literature, selecting literature and analyzing related literature. Counselor professional development can be done through the development of counseling personal theory identity. This development will be very useful for counselors in showing characteristics, consistency, attractiveness and efficiency in the counseling process. The discovery of specialization in the field of counseling is carried out with 6 steps, namely understanding values and self-beliefs, deepening counseling theories and techniques, examining each theory and technique, practicing theories and techniques, integration and personalization. Counselor specialization in the field of behavioristic counseling is closely related to how the counselor's personal philosophy adheres to that everything that happens to the counselee is a consequence of the surrounding environment or antecedents. The discovery of a personal theory of counseling will be very useful for a counselor in his confidence in counseling practice, so that he is able and competent in applying the theory that has found its distinctiveness.
