Development of the “Wander Expression” Booklet as an Innovative Media Guide for Classical Guidance Service to Enhance Students’ Social-Emotional Skills
This study investigates the development of the Wander Expression Booklet as an innovative media guide to support school counselors in delivering classroom guidance services aimed at enhancing students’ social-emotional skills. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D Development Model, which consists of the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages (Thiagarajan, Semmel, & Semmel, 1974). The research subjects were school counselors at a secondary school in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and validation questionnaires administered to content experts, media experts, and prospective users. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive techniques with score conversion into feasibility categories. The validation results demonstrated that the Wander Expression Booklet achieved feasibility scores of 94% from content experts, 94% from media experts, and 90% from prospective users, all categorized as highly feasible. Product revisions were implemented based on expert feedback, including refinement of the title, strengthening of social-emotional content, and the addition of visualized media implementation procedures. A limited trial conducted at SMP Negeri 28 Surabaya indicated increased student engagement, enthusiasm, and understanding in recognizing and regulating emotions appropriately. Based on these findings, the Wander Expression Booklet is considered valid, practical, and effective as a media guide for classroom guidance services in secondary schools.

The Meaningfulness of Life Among Parents Who Adopt Children with Autism: A Qualitative Psychological Perspective
Adopting a child with autism presents unique psychological, emotional, and social challenges that differ significantly from those experienced by biological parents. In Indonesia, adoption involving children with autism remains relatively uncommon, and empirical studies examining the lived experiences of adoptive parents are still limited. Most existing research has focused on parental stress, coping strategies, and caregiving burdens, with little attention given to how adoptive parents construct and experience meaning in life through their parenting roles. This study aimed to explore the meaning of life among adoptive parents of children with autism by examining their subjective experiences and meaning-making processes. This research employed a qualitative case-study design. Participants consisted of a married couple who adopted a child diagnosed with autism through kinship-based adoption. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and triangulation with a significant other. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns related to meaning construction, emotional experiences, and parental roles. The findings indicate that adoptive parents construct meaning in life through acceptance, commitment, emotional resilience, and spiritual reflection in responding to parenting challenges. Parenting a child with autism becomes a source of personal growth and life purpose, despite ongoing emotional and practical demands. This study contributes to meaning-in-life literature by highlighting the distinctive experiences of adoptive parents and offers practical implications for psychological support and family-based interventions.

The Influence of Islamic Counseling on Drug Addiction Patients’ Quality of Life at the Qur’anic Healing Indonesia Rehabilitation Center
The widespread issue of drug abuse poses significant challenges to individuals' quality of life, particularly among those undergoing rehabilitation. This study investigates the effect of Islamic Counseling Guidance on the quality of life of drug addicts at the Qur’anic Healing Indonesia Rehabilitation Center. The study involved 90 male participants aged 20–35 years who had been in rehabilitation for more than three months. Total sampling was employed to include individuals classified as severe, moderate, and mild addicts. Data were collected using two reliable instruments: a Quality-of-Life Scale and an Islamic Counseling Scale (Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.90). The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The findings indicated no significant influence of Islamic Counseling Guidance on quality of life (p = 0.934), suggesting that the Islamic counseling approach implemented in this setting was not effective in enhancing the patients’ quality of life. These results highlight the need to reevaluate and possibly integrate more holistic or tailored approaches in counseling interventions for drug rehabilitation.

Predicting College Students’ Intention to Reject Sexual Violence: The Role of Self-Esteem and Religiosity
Sexual violence in higher education threatens students’ psychological well-being, academic engagement, and sense of safety. In this study, sexual violence encompasses harassment, coercion, and assault occurring within higher education settings. In Indonesia, the increasing number of reported cases and the persistence of underreporting highlight the urgency of identifying internal factors that shape students’ intention to reject such behavior. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, this study examined the simultaneous and partial effects of self-esteem and religiosity on students’ intention to reject sexual violence. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression, data were collected from 209 active undergraduate students at IAIN Parepare through validated four-point Likert-scale instruments. The findings indicated that self-esteem and religiosity simultaneously had a significant effect on intention (Adjusted R² = 0.703, p < .001). However, partial analysis revealed that only religiosity had a significant and dominant positive effect (β = 0.829, p < .001), while self-esteem did not show a statistically significant contribution (p = .124). These results suggest that moral and spiritual value internalization plays a more decisive role than positive self-evaluation in shaping students’ commitment to rejecting sexual violence. The study underscores the importance of integrating inclusive religious education with institutional prevention policies to foster a safer campus environment.

The Effectiveness of Group Counseling in Improving Students’ Social Interaction: A Systematic Literature Review
Students’ social interaction is a fundamental aspect of social and academic development; however, many students experience difficulties in establishing effective interpersonal relationships in the school setting. Group counseling has been widely implemented to address this issue; however, empirical findings remain fragmented and have not been systematically synthesized. This study aims to review and synthesize empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of group counseling in improving students’ social interaction. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design based on the PRISMA framework. Literature searches were conducted using Google Scholar with the keywords “group counseling” and “student social interaction”, focusing on articles published between 2014 and 2024. Following a rigorous screening process, five eligible studies were selected for analysis. The findings indicate that group counseling consistently improves students’ social interaction through various approaches, including role playing, modeling, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Group dynamics play a central role in facilitating behavioral and cognitive change. In conclusion, group counseling is an effective and adaptable intervention for enhancing students’ social interaction, providing important implications for school counselors in designing evidence-based counseling programs.

Utilizing Natural Materials to Stimulate Creativity in Children Aged 5–6 Years: A Classroom Action Research Study in Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education plays a crucial role in stimulating creativity as a foundation for developing high-quality human resources. Children’s creativity can be fostered from an early age through meaningful and contextual learning experiences, one of which involves the use of natural materials closely connected to children’s everyday environments. This study aimed to examine improvements in creativity among children aged 5–6 years through the use of natural-material-based learning media in early childhood education settings. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, implemented in two cycles. The participants consisted of 25 children from Group B at PAUD Kasih Ibu, Kempas District. Data were collected through structured observation and field notes, while data analysis used percentage techniques to identify changes in children’s creativity across action cycles. The findings indicate that the use of natural materials effectively and gradually enhances children’s creativity. Improvements were observed in children’s abilities to explore, imagine, try new ideas, and express ideas independently. These results suggest that natural materials function as effective contextual learning media that support creativity development in early childhood. Therefore, this study provides practical implications for early childhood educators in designing creative, contextual, and sustainable learning experiences.

The Effectiveness of Systematic Desensitization Techniques in Lowering Post-Breakup Anxiety in Senior High School Students
Post-breakup anxiety among adolescents, if not properly addressed, can lead to significant emotional disruption and hinder psychological development. Breakups often trigger a range of negative emotional responses, including sadness, anxiety, and a decline in self-esteem. For adolescents, particularly students, these emotional disturbances may result in diminished concentration, reduced academic performance, and impaired personal growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of systematic desensitization techniques in alleviating post-breakup anxiety among high school students. Utilizing a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, the study involved a population of 128 students from four classes at Intensif Taruna Pembangunan Surabaya Senior High School. From this population, six students who met specific criteria were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 36-item breakup anxiety scale based on a 4-point Likert format, administered via Google Forms. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare pre- and post-intervention scores. The results indicated a statistically significant reduction in post-breakup anxiety following the intervention, with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.027 (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that systematic desensitization is an effective therapeutic technique for managing emotional distress related to romantic relationship dissolution in adolescents. The study highlights the importance of incorporating behavioral interventions into school-based counseling services. Future research is recommended to include a broader and more diverse population, such as students from different educational levels and cultural contexts, or to explore the combined efficacy of systematic desensitization with other counseling approaches.

Enhancing English Vocabulary Learning for Children with Special Needs Using a Differentiated Method
Language is a fundamental communication tool that enables interaction across various contexts. As a global lingua franca, English can be introduced to children at an early age, including those with special needs. This study explores the effectiveness of a differentiated learning approach in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among children with special needs. Employing an action research design, the study was conducted in three cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations and vocabulary tests administered over the three cycles. In the first cycle, visual media such as flashcards were used to introduce vocabulary. The second cycle incorporated auditory learning through songs, while the third cycle integrated audiovisual media in the form of animations. Five early childhood education (ECE) students with special needs participated in the study. Findings revealed that differentiated instruction significantly improved vocabulary acquisition. The students’ average vocabulary test scores increased from 45 in the first cycle to 35 in the second, before reaching 75 in the third cycle. These results highlight the efficacy of differentiated learning strategies in addressing the diverse needs of children with special needs, providing an inclusive and adaptive approach to vocabulary instruction. The study underscores the importance of employing multimodal instructional techniques to enhance language acquisition and suggests that differentiated methods can serve as a valuable pedagogical tool for educators working with special needs learners. Future research may explore long-term retention and the impact of differentiated learning on other language skills.

The Impact of School Climate and Social Support on Bullying Tendencies in Vocational High School Students
Bullying is aggressive behavior involving a power imbalance between the victim and the perpetrator. A negatively perceived school climate can increase maladaptive behaviors, including bullying. Social support, encompassing a sense of being valued, loved, and cared for also play a critical role in reducing bullying. This quantitative study aims to examine the influence of school climate and social support on bullying tendencies among vocational high school students. Using a cross-sectional online survey, 343 students participated as respondents. Multiple regression analysis revealed an F-value of 13.757 with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant influence of school climate and social support on bullying tendencies. The findings suggest that despite a generally high level of social support (mean = 34.57, SD = 2.99) and school climate (mean = 37.47, SD = 3.47), some students still experience moderate levels in these variables. Additionally, a notable number of students continue to report high bullying tendencies, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve school environments and strengthen social support systems.

Developing a Mental Health Counseling E-book to Improve Student Mental Health
The mental health of university students is a crucial aspect that contributes to their academic success and psychological well-being. However, many students experience academic, social, and emotional pressures that may trigger mental health disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Unfortunately, limited access to counseling services and the negative stigma surrounding mental health discourage many students from seeking help. Therefore, innovative solutions are needed to support student mental health in a more accessible and effective manner. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a mental health counseling e-book for university students. The research employs the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development model, involving 417 students from the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. Data collection was conducted using a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure students' mental health before and after the e-book intervention. The findings indicate that the developed e-book meets the content and design feasibility standards, with percentages of 68.73% and 88.52%, respectively, and was deemed highly suitable by experts. The Wilcoxon statistical test revealed a significant improvement in students' mental health levels following the use of the e-book, with an Asymp. Sig value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Thus, the e-book has proven to be an effective tool in helping students manage their mental health. This study recommends the utilization of e-books as a supplementary counseling medium in higher education institutions to enhance students' psychological well-being.

Analisis Penggunaan Authentic Assesment sebagai Alat Pengukuran Perkembangan Anak Usia Dini
Assessment in early childhood aims to collect and provide important information to educators, parents and families about development and growth of children. The information is then used to plan educational activities that children can learn and understand. However, early childhood teachers often experience difficulties in carrying out assessments due to the different characteristics of children. This study aims to analyze the implementation of authentic assessment by Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers. This study is descriptive-qualitative research. This research was conducted in 5 ECE institutions consisting of 4 Playgroups and 1 ECE Post in Telanai Pura Sub-district, Jambi City.
