Resilience is important for students to rise from stressful events such as cognitive rumination. Cognitive rumination makes students trapped in contemplation about their problems, resulting in students becoming unproductive. Therefore, this study aims to see the effect of resilience on cognitive rumination of Faculty of Education and Psychology Universitas Negeri Semarang and Faculty of Teaching and Education Universitas Bengkulu students. Quantitative methods were used in this study with an ex-post facto design. The population in this study is FEP UNNES and FETT UNIB students. A total of 320 FEP UNNES students and 292 FETT UNIB students were used as samples with purposive random sampling techniques. The data collection technique used a psychological scale of resilience (24 items) and a psychological scale of cognitive rumination (27 items). Hypotheses are tested and analyzed using simple regression analysis techniques. The results of this study showed that resilience had a significant negative effect on students' cognitive rumination (R=.890, R2=.793, β=-.890, t=112.605, and p<0.001). These results mean that resilience contributes 79,3% to cognitive rumination, so students who have high resilience are not easy to get caught up in negative rumination and remain productive in carrying out their academic activities. Further implications of this research for the field of guidance and counseling studies in higher education are to provide an initial foundation for digging deeper into aspects that can increase resilience in college students through experimental research. Researchers recommend looking at other perspectives of the subjects studied. For example, by adding a gender moderator variable to see differences in levels of resilience between male and female. In addition, expanding the range of research subjects to a wider range will further increase the generalizability of research with different sampling techniques.

This study investigates the utilization of Instagram as a tool for enhancing English language learning among higher education students. Amidst the growing influence of social media on student lifestyles, the research aimed to harness Instagram's potential for educational purposes, particularly in language acquisition. Employing a Design and Development (D&D) approach with the four-dimensional (4D) model - Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination - the study focused on creating and implementing English learning materials tailored for the Instagram platform. The research methodology included the use of a questionnaire to assess the effectiveness of the instructional materials. These materials were validated by a panel consisting of two media experts, two language experts, and two material experts, ensuring content validity. The study involved a purposively selected sample of 30 students, emphasizing first-semester English majors who were active Instagram users. This approach facilitated an evaluation of the reliability and validity of the instructional materials and the research instrument. Key findings indicated that Instagram as a learning platform significantly boosted student engagement and interaction in English language learning. The study revealed the importance of social media, particularly Instagram, in fostering a more interactive and engaging learning environment. However, the research faced limitations due to its reliance on self-reported data and its focus on a specific student demographic. The study recommends future research to expand beyond first-semester English majors and explore various social media content types for effective educational outcomes. Longitudinal studies and qualitative research methods are suggested to gain deeper insights into student interactions with social media in educational contexts. This research underscores the potential of integrating social media platforms like Instagram into educational curricula, tailored to the digital habits and preferences of contemporary students.

This qualitative research proves that a typical Javanese systematic dialogue called Junggringan can improve an individual's cognitive structure, change their awareness, and then bring about changes at the behavioral levels. These changes then bring individuals out of problems. In Javanese terminology, this condition is called pangawikan pribadi. This paper aims to obtain an indigenous counseling model relating to Junggringan. This research involved 12 participants as the research subjects. By following the Junggringan dialogue, they succeeded in reaching the peak condition, where individuals realize errors in thinking and realize the absence of awareness, which then encourages maladaptive behavior. Acceptance of erroneous ways of thinking and lack of awareness drives individuals to an inner state of extraordinary relief. This peak experience is called Pangawikan Pribadi. With Pangawikan Pribadi, it is easier for individuals to find the solution. This is the essence of Javanese Counseling.

This quasi-experimental study examines the effectiveness of play therapy using the Ajining Dhiri (ADHI) puppet medium to enhance self-esteem in slow learners. Utilizing a pretest-posttest control group design, the study involved 16 slow learners with low self-esteem, as measured by the Self-Esteem Inventory by Coopersmith (1978), validated (r=0.711–0.794) and reliable (Cronbach's alpha=0.760). Participants were divided into a treatment group receiving play therapy with ADHI puppets and a control group receiving standard group counseling. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Baseline findings revealed that 50% of students scored low in Strength (recognition and respect), 62.5% moderate in Significance (acceptance and affection), 75% moderate in Virtue (ethical behavior), and 87.5% low in Ability (task performance). Post-intervention results demonstrated significant improvements in self-esteem across all indicators for the treatment group. The Mann-Whitney U test yielded a value of 0.000, Z = -5.093, and a p-value < 0.05, confirming a significant difference between the treatment and control groups. The play therapy sessions, structured in three phases, enabled students to explore self-expression and cognitive engagement through puppet interactions. Compared to the control group, students in the treatment group showed greater enthusiasm and consistent self-esteem improvements. These findings validate the alternative hypothesis (H1) that play therapy using ADHI puppet media effectively enhances self-esteem in slow learners, offering a culturally contextualized and engaging intervention for addressing their psychological needs.

Career is an important aspect of human life and its stability is determined by Career Decision-making Self Efficacy (CDSE). This study aims to compare high school students' CDSE between those living in industrial and agrarian areas. Subjects in this study were 309 high school students and 309 vocational students from both areas. Data were collected using the CDSE-SF instrument developed by Nancy E. Betz. Mann Whitney comparative test was used to analyze the data in this study. The results show that there were differences in the CDSE significance level of students from both areas. Accordingly, the results find that three of the five aspects of senior high school students' CDSE show their The results of data analysis showed significant differences in the five aspects of student CDSE in industrial and agricultural areas.The different value between both students occurs due to the difference in goal and career directions which is highly possible because of several factors that were not discussed in this study.

Emotion becomes an integral part that derives children's moral behavior. Moral emotion controls moral transgression by making children aware of the consequences of their actions. However, not all children can control their emotions, e.g., slow learners. The slow learners in this study are students in inclusive schools in Central Java. Their status as inclusive students resulted in feelings of alienation, even bullying. One factor affecting moral emotions is children's attachment to attachment figures, including school counselors. This study aims to determine the attachment pattern between slow learners and school counselors in developing moral emotions. This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected by interviews, direct observations, focused group discussions (FGD), and documentation. The results showed that the level of slow learners‘ attachment security was affected by school counselors‘ affection, responsiveness, sensitivity, and availability, both physically and emotionally. Higher security slow learners demonstrated higher trust and disclosure, and are emotionally attached to school counselors compared to those with lower security. On the other hand, attachment is associated with moral emotions of shame, guilt, and righteous anger but is not significantly associated with empathy. The findings are expected to increase awareness of school counselors in showing support and affection toward slow learners in inclusive schools, especially while providing services to fulfill guidance and counseling functions of understanding, development, and prevention.

This brief investigation checks into how depression levels and ways of dealing with problems are related among teenage drug users who are getting help at Rumah Orbit Surabaya, a drug rehab centre in Indonesia. The study used a correlational analytic approach and looked at 32 teenage drug users: 10 were admitted for inpatient care and 22 were getting therapy outside of school. The requirements for inclusion are that the teens must be involved in rehabilitation and have good social skills. Teenagers who are already drug-free are not eligible. The Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire and the Ways of Coping Checklist were used to gather data. The results show a clear connection between the subjects' coping strategies and how depressed they were. Findings show that teens who use drugs are more likely to use unhealthy ways to deal with their problems when they are depressed. In particular, most of them showed signs of borderline sadness, and a big chunk of them used unhealthy ways to deal with their problems. On the other hand, people with moderate depression were more likely to use adaptive coping techniques. This study adds to our knowledge of how sadness affects how teenage drug users deal with stress in a rehabilitation setting. Recommendations include interventions that are targeted to the severity of sadness to help people in this vulnerable group get better at therapy and coping. In the future, researchers could look into longitudinal effects and intervention methods that are better suited to people with different levels of depression in similar situations.

The objective of this study is to develop a career advice platform for Children with Special Needs (CSN) through the use of gamification-assisted education. The study suggests that inclusive vocational schools in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, East Java, should create an Android application called GOPEKA in response to the dearth of structured employment services and specialized resources for CSN. For CSN, who have a predisposition for studying via Android applications, the program is both user-friendly and captivating. The ADDIE paradigm, which comprises Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation, was specifically applied in our Research and Development (R&D) endeavors. An essential component of career coaching for CSN, gamification-assisted media emerged from an initial investigation that included a literature review and conversations with school counsellors. Utilizing the Career Information Processing and Career Diamond theories as core concepts and incorporating gamification features (components, mechanics, dynamics) were also highlighted in the literature review. A GOPEKA application prototype was developed during the design and development process. Its interface design and button performance were enhanced as a result of a validation procedure conducted by professionals and experts. Seven secondary schools, including a special needs high school in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, participated in an evaluation of the app's efficacy with 82 disabled students from vocational high schools. The average total career planning scores improved significantly from the pre-test to the post-test subsequent to utilizing the GOPEKA application, as determined by the Wilcoxon test on non-normal data distribution. The study's findings indicate that the GOPEKA application's second iteration is efficacious and appropriate for implementation with CSN, subsequent to its validation and feasibility assessments. In addition, the article proposes avenues for further research and addresses the constraints associated with the implementation of gamification in product development.

Every stakeholder needs to take action to prevent child sexual abuse because the number of cases of this type in children grows year, raising concerns among parents, families, schools, and communities about the future of their children. To stop sexual assault against children, we created an Islamic parenting guidebook. The goal of this project is to stop child sexual abuse by giving parents access to Islamic parenting guides and other material that will facilitate their Islamic upbringing and education. This will help them steer clear of undesirable things, like child sexual abuse. Parents whose children had been sexually abused were the study's subjects. Development research is the term for this kind of study. Using the ADDIE development models, researchers create booklets (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, evaluation). In order to gather data, three types of instruments are used: booklet validation tools, practical questionnaires, and effectiveness questionnaires. To ascertain the validity and applicability of employing percentage formulae, as well as the effectiveness of using formulas N Gain Score, data gathering procedures employ observation techniques, interviews, and documentation studies. Islamic parenting-based pamphlets are deserving of use since, according to the findings of the validation test conducted by linguists, designers, and material experts, the content is 95.17 percent valid. In terms of practicality, 92.4 percent fell into the category of somewhat practical. The Islamic parenting-based booklet can improve parents' awareness of education and parenting children to avoid sexual assault against children, as evidenced by the criteria's 64.4 percent effectiveness test, which indicates that it is effective.

This research delves into the psychological aspects of students undertaking thesis writing, specifically focusing on how they handle emotional challenges and build resilience during this demanding academic process. The study encompasses a diverse group of 162 students from the 2018 intake at a university in Padang, selected through a simple random sampling method. To ensure a comprehensive analysis, the study employs a blend of correlation, regression, and descriptive analytics, adhering to a statistical significance threshold of 0.05. The primary data for this research was processed using the SPSS 16.0 software. This included conducting the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to assess the normality of data, a linearity test, and the Glesjer test to determine the presence of heteroscedasticity. Two key instruments guided the data collection and analysis: an emotional regulation instrument with a reliability index of 0.68, and a resilience instrument with a higher reliability index of 0.87. These instruments were crucial in measuring the respective constructs. The findings of the study are illuminating. Firstly, it was found that the students generally demonstrated effective emotional regulation skills. Secondly, a high level of resilience was observed among the student participants. Importantly, the correlation tests revealed a significant relationship between resilience and emotional regulation. This implies that the ability to regulate emotions effectively is closely linked to the development of resilience in students. Additionally, the regression analysis presented a substantial impact of emotional regulation on resilience, with a contribution strength of 51.5%. In essence, this study provides valuable insights into the emotional and psychological resilience of students during thesis writing. It highlights the critical role of emotional regulation in fostering resilience, offering a perspective that could be beneficial for academic institutions and mental health professionals in supporting students through their academic journeys.

The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring with murattal al-Qur‘an relaxation technique in reducing Indonesian Muslim university students’ academic anxiety. The research was conducted on Indonesian Muslim university students at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Tarbiyah Al Urwatul Wutsqo (STIT-UW) Jombang. A Quasi Experimental with Nonequivalent Control Group Design was employed to assess the effectiveness of group counseling using cognitive restructuring and Murattal Al-Qur’an relaxation techniques in reducing students’ academic anxiety during thesis writing. The participants included 22 students with high levels of academic anxiety, divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments utilized were academic anxiety scales, worksheets, reflection journals, and a group counseling module. Statistical analysis using the Mann–Whitney U Test was applied to identify differences in scores between the two groups. The results indicated that group counseling incorporating Cognitive Restructuring and Murattal Al-Qur’an relaxation techniques effectively alleviated the level of students’ academic anxiety. Having a positive way of thinking and a better physical and psychological condition, the university students have succeeded in reducing their academic anxiety level, and will assume the thesis as a challenge instead of threat, and also will motivate them to work on it immediately and accomplish their study in time. In conclusion, this group counseling approach may be recommended for college counselors to assist STIT-UW Jombang students experiencing academic anxiety while working on their theses, and it can be used as a conceptual and empirical reference for the development of counseling in the future.

This study analze the impact of group counseling sessions based on prophetic values on the psychological well-being of students in Islamic boarding schools in East Java, Indonesia. Sixty students from five schools participated in an experimental design involving pre-tests and post-tests. The intervention included seven group guidance sessions led by non-professional counselors, emphasizing prophetic values. A 22-item scale assessing various aspects of psychological well-being was used, and the effectiveness of the intervention was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. The results showed significant improvements in the psychological well-being of the experimental group, with higher mean scores post-intervention compared to the control group. The study highlights the critical role of peer relationships in the psychological health of students in these schools. The successful incorporation of prophetic values in the intervention aligns with the students' cultural and religious background, enhancing its effectiveness. The findings suggest the importance of including such value-based guidance programs in the curriculum of Islamic boarding schools, tailored to their unique educational environment. The study also recommends training for mentors in guidance skills to better support student well-being in these settings.

This study examines the significance of the paths: (1) from social support to career adaptability, (2) from work value to career adaptability, (3) from self-esteem to career adaptability, (4) from social support to career adaptability via self-esteem, and (5) from work value to career adaptability via self-esteem. A total of 265 students from the Faculty of Education Universitas Negeri Malang who participated in the Asistensi Mengajar (AM) Program were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Four instruments were used to collect data: the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), the Work Value Inventory (WVI), the Self-Esteem Scale, and the Social Support Scale. The data were analysed using path analysis. The findings revealed that all paths have significance values below 0.05, indicating that all proposed paths are acceptable.  The analysis also shows that work value has a direct effect on self-esteem, with a coefficient of 0.160, while social support exhibits a more substantial direct effect on self-esteem, with a coefficient of 0.412. Self-esteem directly influences career adaptability with a coefficient of 0.435. Indirectly, work value impacts career adaptability via self-esteem with a coefficient of 0.070, and social support influences career adaptability via self-esteem with a coefficient of 0.179. The total effects of work value and social support on career adaptability via self-esteem were calculated to be 0.230 and 0.591, respectively. These results suggest that social support has a more pronounced total effect on career adaptability compared to work value, primarily due to its stronger direct effect on self-esteem. The study underscores the critical role of self-esteem as a mediator in enhancing career adaptability through social support and work values.

Career planning is an important aspect in the career development process because it will have an impact on the student's future. It is hoped that the existence of Vocational High Schools (SMK) will be a step for the government and schools in providing students who are ready to work. Vocational School is a vocational education institution that has an important role in developing the quality of graduates who are ready to work and respond to the needs and developments of the times. The high unemployment rate in the 15–19-year age group nationally emphasizes that junior high school and high school/vocational school levels are important age phases in formulating future careers. The aim of this research is to determine students' readiness in career planning at Bengkulu Vocational School. The method used is survey research. The instrument developed was an inventory which, using data collection techniques, was distributed to 124 vocational school students via Google Form, which was then analyzed using Rasch modeling. Based on the data obtained, overall self-readiness in career planning for vocational school students is in the high category at 19%, in the medium category at 67%, and in the low category at 14%. Thus, it can be concluded that vocational school students in Bengkulu have not prepared themselves optimally in good career planning. Based on the findings, appropriate management of student career development in schools is needed. So it will have an impact on students' career maturity. A student's career is not only limited to a choice of job and work, but how students can manage and formulate career plans well so as to achieve career success in the future.

This study investigates the impact of Iso Trimorogo counseling, a culture-based counseling approach rooted in Tri Dharma Mangkunegaran Philosophy, on reducing violent behavior in high school students by fostering the character trait of fairness. The research involved 120 high school students from Central Java Province, Indonesia divided into an experimental group receiving Iso Trimorogo counseling and a control group subjected to conventional counseling methods. The efficacy of the counseling was assessed using a fairness character scale and a bullying behavior scale, administered pre- and post-treatment. The study employed bootstrapping analysis with 5000 resampling iterations, maintaining an error threshold of 5% (p < 0.005). The results indicated a significant direct effect of Iso Trimorogo counseling in diminishing violent behavior (F = 9.027) and an indirect effect through the mediation of fairness character development (F = 4.026), with a negative correlation between fairness character and violent behavior (R = 0.389). These findings underscore the importance of integrating character education, particularly focusing on fairness, in counseling strategies to effectively address violent behavior in schools. The study advocates for the adoption of culture-based counseling approaches like Iso Trimorogo in educational settings to enhance student behavior and character development.

Counseling services are currently an increasing need in society. This is proof that modern life makes people vulnerable to their psychological well-being. However, current counseling services still have limitations such as distance and time with clients. Therefore, the development of electronic group counseling (EGC) software was the reason for its development to optimize services to clients. EGC development was carried out by adopting the Borg & Gall model. These stages include; 1) literature review, 2) product preparation, 3) first stage trial, 4) product revision, 5) second stage trial, 6) final product revision. The trial was carried out involving 25 guidance and counseling teachers, as well as 500 high school level students spread across Central Java province. The selection of subjects in this research was carried out using cluster sampling techniques. The data collected relates to teachers' experiences in using this application in implementing counseling services. Meanwhile, data from students was collected to see students' experiences in using counseling services with the EGC application. Data collection was carried out using the counseling service satisfaction instrument with EGC which had previously been developed by researchers. The results obtained will then be described quantitatively. The results of this development produce EGC software that is ready to use. This software makes it easier for counselors to plan meetings with clients, assess clients' conditions, meet virtually with clients, and create counseling reports. This software complements the findings of cybercounseling products which are currently being developed in Indonesia. Supporting technological advances, counseling comes with various innovations that are able to create more effective and efficient services for clients.
