2023-05-27T12:28:51+00:00

This research is predicated on the significance of gratitude as a positive emotion that adolescents need to cultivate in order to build resilience and readiness to face challenges. The objective of this study is to explore the potential of group exercise techniques in fostering gratitude among adolescents. Adolescents are expected to exhibit various positive traits, such as competitiveness, intelligence, self-regulation, self-disclosure, and a heightened sense of gratitude. The data analysis in this study employed the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of three stages: 1) reduction, 2) presentation, and 3) verification. The findings suggest that gratitude is a crucial characteristic in adolescents, and group exercise techniques can potentially enhance this trait. By nurturing gratitude in adolescents, they can achieve psychological well-being and mitigate negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and sadness

Management Guidance and Counseling in Senior High Schools in the Face of Globalization Era

2023-07-05T04:00:10+00:00

Globalization has permeated all facets of life, including education. Education transcends national borders, facilitated by technological advancements and various methodologies. The era of globalization has both positive and negative impacts on students. Consequently, counselors must guide students towards global progress while preserving existing cultural values. The execution of guidance and counseling management must be technology-based and globally oriented. This has implications for the programs developed and the collaboration with all personnel implementing guidance and counseling in senior high schools. To conduct guidance and counseling management in line with the developments in the globalization era, the quality of human resources, or the competence of counselors, needs to be enhanced to be sensitive to opportunities and responsive to global challenges. The method employed is descriptive with a naturalistic qualitative approach, which reveals real events in natural conditions (natural settings). The instrument in this naturalistic qualitative research is the researcher himself, through self-evaluation regarding his understanding of qualitative methods, mastery of theory, insight into the field being researched, and readiness and provisions for fieldwork. The subjects in this research were five guidance and counseling teachers, the principal, and three students at State Senior High School 4 Sungai Penuh. The results of this research provide an overview of counseling management in schools and the competencies that counselors need to master to navigate the era of globalization

The subjects of this research were three individuals: one guidance and counseling teacher, the school principal, and one student. Data collection was conducted using interview and observation techniques. The findings of the research indicate that effective management of guidance and counseling infrastructure can potentially provide a solution for management efforts, thereby ensuring the optimal delivery of guidance and counseling services

Behavior Modification Psychosynthesis vs Spiritual Perspective: A Comparative Synthesis Analysis of Counseling Approaches

2023-11-23T12:00:23+00:00

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive literature analysis, employing a comparative synthesis process, to elucidate the distinctive features of two counseling approaches rooted in the transpersonal psychology paradigm. The objective is to scrutinize, compare, and synthesize the perspectives, focal points, techniques, and outcomes inherent in these two transpersonal approaches. This endeavor is imperative in light of the growing demand for therapeutic methodologies grounded in spiritual dimensions and belief systems encompassing forces beyond the confines of human material existence. The employed methodology involves a thorough literature study, culminating in the synthesis of the two transpersonal paradigms. The resultant synthesis is intended to serve as a robust reference for forthcoming therapeutic counseling practices. By doing so, it aims to contribute to the ongoing evolution of more specialized counseling models within an expanding transpersonal paradigm. This synthesis, in turn, is poised to serve as a cornerstone for counseling models that transcend the constraints of materialism and modernis

In today’s world, there is a shift in student needs for guidance and counseling services in the era of Society 5.0. This study aims to uncover the implementation of the guidance and counseling program in public madrasah aliyah.

2023-07-05T04:17:22+00:00

In today’s digital era, phubbing behavior (ignoring others in social interactions by being busy using a mobile phone) is becoming an increasingly common phenomenon among students. However, the impact of this behavior on students’ psychological well-being is still not well understood. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of phubbing behavior among students and its implications in a multicultural context. The focus of this study is to explore how phubbing behavior affects students’ social interactions across various cultural backgrounds.

The results of the study indicate that phubbing behavior can have negative impacts on students’ psychological well-being, including a decrease in the quality of interpersonal relationships and an increase in feelings of loneliness. In addition, these findings also indicate that the impact of phubbing behavior can vary among students from different cultural backgrounds. This study indicates the need for a multicultural counseling approach in addressing the issue of phubbing among students. Further research is needed to develop effective intervention strategies that take into account cultural differences

In contemporary society, it has become commonplace for women to engage in professional work, leading to intriguing psychological dynamics, particularly within the family unit. The multifaceted role of a woman as a mother, a wife, and an employee generates diverse demands.
