Adolescents who successfully navigate developmental tasks tend to experience happiness, whereas those who fail may encounter an identity crisis. An identity crisis occurs when adolescents struggle to understand their true selves, often due to a lack of self-exploration and independent decision-making. To prevent this, guidance counseling can incorporate local cultural values in Indonesia, such as the Madura cultural values of Bhupa Babu Guru Rato. This study aims to construct the Madura cultural values of Bhupa Babu Guru Rato to prevent identity crises in students. Using a literature review method, the study searched for literature with keywords like group guidance, identity crisis, and Bhupa Babu Guru Rato values. The results indicate that Madura cultural values can be integrated through group guidance. Future researchers are encouraged to test the effectiveness of the Madura cultural values of Bhupa Babu Guru Rato in preventing identity crises in students.

The great influence of community-based strategies in promoting social inclusion and raising the welfare of people with disabilities is investigated in this paper. Policies and laws meant to protect the rights of people with disabilities have evolved even if many still face significant challenges prohibiting them from totally participating in society. This paper systematically reviews the current research and case studies to identify community-based strategies that successfully support social inclusion and well-being. The results emphasise the need of thorough treatments covering the social, psychological, and physical elements of well-being. Important plans call for building public areas open to everyone, including leisure events adapted to individual requirements, and providing conveniently available mental health treatments. The study also looks at how social networks and peer support could help to lower the usually encountered social isolation among persons with disabilities. It emphasises how joint efforts help to create inclusive and inspiring communities. This paper argues that it is possible to significantly raise the welfare and social inclusion of people with disabilities by means of community-based programs, therefore promoting more fair and strong society.

Susilawati, DYP Sugiharto, Sunawan, Awalya — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Integrating Motivational Interviewing with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can create a more effective behavioral treatment than a set of strategies alone. The purpose of this article is to theoretically discuss the integration of MI and CBT by reviewing previous research related to MI-CBT. Results revealed that the integration paradigm began when MI was initially developed to build initial motivation, but motivation still fluctuated in strength and direction during the enactment and maintenance of change, suggesting that integrating MI with CBT may create a more efficacious behavioral treatment than either set of strategies alone. There are six stages in implementing MI-CBT, including initial motivation sessions, assessment and treatment planning, self-monitoring, cognitive skills, skills training and maintenance of change. Currently, MI-CBT interventions are still widely used to treat depression and anxiety problems in clients and students. However, there is not much use of MI-CBT for learning problems, especially academic functions in students. So it is important to pay attention to the elements of academic function because academic function is something that needs to be prioritized in the learning process, where with good academic function students are able to carry out the learning process well.

Sociometry is a way of collecting data about interactions and social network relationships between individuals and groups. Each individual has a position and relationships that occur in relation to each other which can be measured qualitatively and quantitatively. This research was conducted at MTs Al Hikmah Proto Kedungwuni, Pekalongan City, with 122 class VIII students. This research is a qualitative research. This research aims to determine the bullying experienced by students using the NoBull sociometric instrumentation application. The results of processing the NoBull Sociometry application show that the total percentage scores are verbal bullying at 84%, physical bullying at 74%, social bullying at 66% and cyber bullying at 60%. From these data it can be concluded that almost all students in class VIII have been victims of bullying. This expertise in sociometry can support and make it easier for guidance and counseling teachers to identify victims of bullying at school, so that the work program of guidance and counseling teachers is right on target.

Student School-Counselor Vocational Identity Scale (SSCVIS): Instrument Construction and Validation

Having a strong vocational identity is a precursor to the formation of a school counselor’s overall identity. Thus, vocational identity has been a key variable in vocational research. However, most existing studies have used Holland, Gottfredson, and Power’s My Vocational Situation (MVS) vocational identity subscale to measure vocational identity. Due to its item wording, we contend that the MVS does not accurately capture vocational identity as a stable construct. Additionally, its dichotomous response scale limits researchers' ability to evaluate its psychometric properties. To address these issues, we developed and validated a new "Student School Counselor Vocational Identity Scale (SSCVIS)" with Likert-type responses. The SSCVIS aims to measure individuals' awareness of their stable career goals, interests, and abilities. A total of 100 statements were developed, consisting of 40 for exploration and 60 for commitment. The validity test was conducted using item-total score correlation, with all items showing significant results. The reliability was calculated using Cronbach's Alpha, yielding a score of 0.918. Results suggest that the SSCVIS possesses sound internal reliability, a stable single-factor structure, and good convergent validity with relevant constructs, such as the occupational subscale of the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS). Based on these findings, we discuss the strengths and limitations of the SSCVIS scale and propose directions for future research.

This study investigates the gender-based differences in technology acceptance and use among School Counselors in West Java, Indonesia, utilizing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model. The research addresses the gap in understanding how male and female counselors differ in adopting digital tools, despite the high digital literacy observed among counselors in major cities. A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on a sample of 430 School Counselors, consisting of 136 males and 284 females. The findings indicate high overall technology acceptance, with significant variations in behavioral intention and habit between genders. These results suggest the need for gender-specific strategies in technology training programs to enhance the adoption and effective use of digital tools in counseling services. Practical implications include the design of tailored training approaches that address these gender-specific differences to optimize the integration of technology in educational settings.

The collaborative model of counseling supervision, involving multiple stakeholders such as supervisors, peers, and novice counselors, offers a novel approach to enhancing the professional development and mental well-being of new counselors. This study explores the impact of this model on novice counselors' mental health and professional growth. Through a qualitative methodology, data were gathered from in-depth interviews and focus groups with participants engaged in collaborative supervision. The results reveal that the collaborative approach fosters a supportive environment, reduces feelings of isolation, and enhances the sense of professional identity among novice counselors. Additionally, this model promotes shared learning and reflection, contributing to improved counseling skills and professional confidence. The study provides valuable insights into the benefits of collaborative supervision and suggests practical implications for its implementation in counselor training programs to support the holistic development of future counseling professionals.
