Indriyana Rachmawati — 2024-07-23

Academic resilience has become an interesting topic of discussion as a result of the increase in academic burnout experienced by prospective counselors recently as a result of increasing academic assignments. Prospective counselors who experience academic burnout generally have poor academic resilience because they feel tired or bored with academic tasks while still studying, and this has an impact on the resulting performance. This research aims to determine the relationship between academic burnout and the academic resilience of prospective counselors. We used a quantitative research method, employing a correlation research design, to reveal the relationship between the two. The research sample involved 105 prospective counselor students in Indonesia taken using convenience sampling techniques. The research sample's data collection method employed a scale measuring academic burnout and academic resilience. The data was analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment method. The research results show that academic resilience has a negative relationship with academic burnout. This means that the higher the academic resilience that a prospective counselor has, the lower the academic burnout they experience, and conversely, the lower the academic resilience of a prospective counselor, the lower the academic burnout.

Arie Ichwan Nurhidayat — 2024-07-25

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of motivational interviewing (MI) group counseling in enhancing intrinsic motivation and academic engagement among students at State Senior High School 2 Sragen, Indonesia. Students with low intrinsic motivation and academic engagement often display a lack of attention during learning activities, disinterest in school, use of cell phones for non-academic purposes during study time, and failure to complete assigned tasks. This study employed a pretest and multiple posttest design, with 14 students selected via purposive sampling and subsequently divided into two groups: the experimental group (7 students), who received group counseling with the MI approach over four meetings; and the control group (7 students), who did not receive intervention. Data were collected using the Intrinsic Motivation Scale (α = 0.92) and the Academic Engagement Scale (α = 0.89). The data were analyzed using the mixed MANOVA technique. Results demonstrated that the MI approach group counseling intervention positively influences students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. Additionally, a measurement effect (time) was observed in relation to students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. The study also showed an interaction effect between the MI approach group counseling intervention and measurement (time) on students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. Therefore, MI approach group counseling is an effective method for increasing students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. The presence of ambivalence is a crucial aspect in group counseling with the MI approach to facilitate the desired change talk.

However, low work involvement by teachers is not able to achieve organizational or school success in producing quality successors. The intended work engagement is a series of results from the teacher's self-efficacy and resilience towards himself and work tasks. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of self-efficacy and resilience on teacher work engagement with personality traits as mediators, then explain how much influence between variables built from the model. The research subjects were Junior High School teachers in Tulungagung district, Indonesia. The research sample was 220 Pancasila and Civic Education (Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan) and Social Science (Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial) subject teachers. Hypothesis were analyzed using Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) version 3.0. through PLS-Graph version 3.0 software. The research results show a significant relationship between the influence of self- efficacy and resilience on teacher work engagement through personality traits. It means self-efficacy, resilience, and teacher personality traits correlate significantly with work engagement.

Vivianora Diva — 2024-07-29

Universities are obliged to prepare graduates of the highest caliber and ensure that their qualifications align with the requirements of the professional world. Therefore, it is essential for them to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge before they enter the workforce. Nevertheless, a considerable number of students remain inadequately prepared for the demands of the workplace. The capacity to persevere and adapt to new circumstances are two key attributes that can influence an individual's preparedness for professional roles. This study aims to ascertain the relationship between grit and career adaptability with the work readiness of final-year students. This study employed a quantitative methodology, with 136 students selected through the use of a simple random sampling technique. The data collection method employed three scales: the Work Readiness Scale (α = 0.827), the Grit-12 Scale (α = 0.738), and the Career Adaptabilities Scale (α = 0.963). Subsequently, the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results demonstrated that both grit and career adaptability exerted a significant influence on work readiness in final-year students, both concurrently and partially (p < 0.05). Grit and career adaptability collectively contributed an effective 50.1% to work readiness. Consequently, it is recommended that students cultivate persistence and the capacity to adapt their careers, in order to enhance their readiness to enter the workforce.

Hengki Tri Hidayatullah — 2024-09-04

The objective of this study was to ascertain the psychological underpinnings of self-harm behaviors among adolescents, with a particular emphasis on the tenets of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Additionally, this study aimed to elucidate the various forms of self-harm behaviors and the underlying factors that contribute to these behaviors in adolescents. This research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological research design. The research subjects were students at State Senior High School 1 Batu, Indonesia, selected based on certain criteria in accordance with the research needs (purposive sampling). The results demonstrate three key aspects of the psychological dynamics of adolescents with self-harm behavior, namely cognitive, affective, and conative. These were mapped into the ABC model, which comprises three elements, namely activating events, irrational beliefs, and impacts. Forms of self-harm in adolescents include physical (slashing the hand) and non-physical (ignoring health, smoking, taking drugs, and staying up late). The background of adolescents committing self-harm behavior is influenced by both internal factors (dissatisfaction and loneliness) and external factors (family problems and modeling).
