This study aimed to describe the level of Self-Directed Learning (SDL) among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya as a basis for developing guidance and counseling service recommendations. The research employed a quantitative descriptive survey involving 267 students selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a 30-item SDL scale covering five indicators: awareness, learning strategies, learning activities, evaluation, and interpersonal skills. The instrument was found to be valid and highly reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.92). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and categorized into high, medium, and low levels. The results showed that 77% of students were in the high SDL category, while 23% were in the medium category, and no students were classified in the low category. Although students generally demonstrated good learning independence, several aspects still require improvement, particularly self-awareness in selecting learning strategies, consistency in learning habits, information processing, self-evaluation, and interpersonal skills. Initial observations also indicated that some students tended to procrastinate, rely heavily on teachers, and show low learning initiative. Therefore, strengthening SDL through guidance and counseling services and active learning strategies is needed to support more balanced and sustainable development of students’ learning independence

This study examines the effect of father involvement on emotional intelligence among Generation Z University students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palopo. A quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design was employed, involving 100 respondents aged 18–26 years selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring father involvement (physical and emotional aspects) and emotional intelligence based on Goleman’s five dimensions. The findings indicate that most respondents reported high (48%) and moderate (39%) levels of father involvement, while emotional intelligence was predominantly in the high (45%) and moderate (35%) categories. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between Father Involvement and Emotional Intelligence (r = 0.780, p < 0.001). Furthermore, simple linear regression analysis showed that father involvement significantly predicts emotional intelligence (B = 0.276, p < 0.001), accounting for 60.8% of the variance (R² = 0.608). These results suggest that father involvement plays a crucial role in enhancing individuals’ ability to recognize, regulate, and express emotions, as well as to develop healthy social relationships. This study highlights the importance of active paternal engagement in fostering optimal emotional development among Generation Z.

Ethics is an important foundation that guides counselors in their actions and serves as a reference for moral and professional decision-making in the practice of guidance and counseling services. This study aims to analyze ethical values in guidance and counseling. The research method used is a systematic literature review. Data collection techniques were carried out by searching for articles on Google Scholar, Scopus, and Sage using keywords. Data analysis techniques used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) model, which produced 11 out of 300 research articles selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria that could be analyzed. The results of the analysis show that ethical values such as autonomy, justice, confidentiality, competence, and fidelity are moral foundations that must be realized in guidance and counseling practices in schools. For these values to be effective, counselors need to understand, master, and apply them consistently in their services. The application of ethics enables the creation of a safe, open, fair, and professional service atmosphere, thereby building positive perceptions of guidance and counseling teachers among students.

Survei Kompetensi Multikultural pada Konselor: Memahami Kesiapan dalam Menangani Keberagaman

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi tingkat kompetensi multikultural konselor di Indonesia serta memahami kesiapan mereka dalam menangani keberagaman budaya yang kompleks di masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas konselor berada pada kategori sedang hingga tinggi dalam kompetensi multikultural. Mereka dinilai cukup mampu mengidentifikasi serta menghargai keragaman budaya, menggunakan strategi konseling yang sensitif budaya, dan mengambil pendekatan yang inklusif. Namun demikian, masih terdapat sebagian konselor yang berada pada kategori rendah, yang menandakan keterbatasan dalam mengelola isu budaya yang kompleks. Temuan ini mengindikasikan adanya kesenjangan antara kesadaran multikultural yang dimiliki dan penerapan praktis dalam layanan konseling. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa konselor Indonesia pada umumnya telah memiliki kesiapan yang baik dalam menghadapi keragaman, tetapi diperlukan peningkatan berkelanjutan melalui pelatihan, integrasi kurikulum multikultural dalam pendidikan konselor, serta dukungan kebijakan organisasi profesi. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi rujukan bagi pengembangan program pelatihan dan kebijakan konseling multikultural di Indonesia, sehingga layanan konseling dapat lebih relevan, inklusif, dan efektif dalam masyarakat yang majemuk.
