Reverence, also known as ta’dzim in Pondok Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), is a moral aspect which is taught to santri (students in Islamic boarding schools) as the most important value. Ta’dzim is delivered as an ethic, develops as a value, and grows to be part of a santri’s personality and standard behavior. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable Santri Reverence Morals Scale (SRMS) through the Rasch Model analysis. The scale was supervised under an expert judgement evaluation which was involved 7 experts and distributed to 95 participants (male santri aged between 13-23 years) who were selected through stratified random sampling. The Rasch Model analyzed output and the interpretation included data about instrument, items, and person. This study indicated that the Santri Reverence Morals Scale is very reliable, predominantly fits items, and is unidimensionally proven. In this paper, such shortcomings as hard items, misfit items, and bias items are also discussed and evaluated. The composite analysis of instrument, items, and abilities concluded that the SRMS is a questionnaire with high reliability and validity (the item separation value is 3.40 and Cronbach alpha score is 0.82). This initial instrument testing stage requires further development so that a high-quality questionnaire can be produced to measure and study the ta’dzim of santri.

Globalization and technological developments are challenges in maintaining local wisdom and religious values. This study aims to explore the potential of Javanese community wisdom values, namely Memayu Hayuning Bawana (MHB) as a solution to increasing family resilience. In addition, MHB is also studied for its relevance to Islamic religious values through Al-Ghazali's perspective. The research method used is a mixed method with a Qual-quan sequential exploratory design. Quantitative analysis was conducted to determine the profile of family resilience, while qualitative analysis was used to examine the potential of MHB values as a solution to increasing family resilience and its relationship to Al-Ghazali's views. The study was conducted in Java, Indonesia, with 150 couples as participants. The results of the study found that the family resilience of Javanese society was 36.00% at a low level, 60.33% were in the medium category, and 3.67% were in the high category. In addition, the MBH values that can be used as a solution to increase family resilience are respecting each other's partners (Tepa Selira), pleasing the feelings of the partner (Karyenak tyasing sesama), being sincere in establishing a relationship (Sepi ing Pamrih, lan Rame ing Gawe), and being careful in acting (Eling lan Waspada). These values are in accordance with Al-Ghazali's perspective on the criteria for the nature of a partner. The characteristics of Al-Annanah, Al-Mananah, Al-Haddaqah, Al-Syaddaqah, Al-Barraqah, and Al-Hananah need to be avoided and are contrary to the MBH values and Al-Ghazali's perspective. Thus, the value of maintaining MBH can create a family that is orderly (tata), calm (titi), and peaceful (tentrem) or in Islamic literature it is called sakinah, mawadah, warahmah. Globalisasi dan perkembangan teknologi merupakan tantangan dalam pemertahanan nilai kearifan lokal dan religi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali potensi nilai kearifan masyarakan Jawa yakni Memayu Hayuning Bawana (MHB) dalam sebagai solusi peningkatan ketahanan keluarga. Selain itu, MHB juga dikaji relevansinya nilai religi Islam melalui pespektif Al-Ghazali. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah mixed method dengan desain eksploratori sekuensial Qual-quan. Analisis kuantitatif dilakukan untuk mengetahu profil ketahanan keluarga, sedangkan kualitatif untuk mengkaji potensi nilai MHB sebagai solusi peningkatan ketahanan keluarga dan kaitannya dengan pandangan Al-Ghazali. Penelitian dilakukan di Jawa, Indonesia, dengan jumlah partisipan sebanyak 150 pasang suami istri. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa ketahanan keluarga masyarakat Jawa yakni 36,00% berada dalam level rendah, 60,33% berada pada kategori sedang, dan 3,67% berada pada kategori tinggi. Selain itu nilai MBH yang dapat dijadikan solusi meningkatan ketahanan keluarga yakni saling menghargai pasangan (Tepa Selira), menyenangkan perasaan pasangan (Karyenak tyasing sesama), tulus ikhlas dalam menjalin hubungan (Sepi ing Pamrih, dan Rame ing Gawe), serta berhati-hati dalam bertindak (Eling lan Waspada). Nilai tersebut sesuai dengan perspektif Al-Ghazali mengenai kriteria sifat pasangan. Sifat Al-Annanah, Al-Mananah, Al-Haddaqah, Al-Syaddaqah, Al-Barraqah dan Al-Hananah perlu dihindari dan bertentangan dengan nilai MBH dan perspektif Al-Ghazali. Dengan demikian, nilai pemertahanan MBH dapat mewujudkan keluarga yang teratur (tata), tenang (titi), dan tentram (tentrem) atau dalam literatur Islam disebut sakinah, mawadah, warahmah.

Adolescence is a phase marked by stress, emotional instability, and low self-esteem, often leading to self-criticism and social withdrawal. To cope with these challenges, adolescents need self-compassion to maintain self-kindness and achieve better psychological well-being. This study aims to measure adolescent self-compassion using the Self-Compassion Scale for Youth (SCSY), a 17-item scale developed to suit the competencies of adolescents, as the original Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) is less applicable for this age group. A quantitative survey design was employed, with data from 105 high school students (aged 16-17, predominantly Sundanese, residing in rural areas) analyzed using JASP and Winstep for Rasch Model measurement. Results indicated that the SCSY demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability, confirming its suitability for adolescent self-compassion measurement. Findings underscore the importance of self-compassion in fostering emotional stability and resilience, suggesting that school-based guidance and counseling could benefit from incorporating self-compassion training to enhance mental health support for adolescents. The SCSY’s tailored approach facilitates early detection of self-compassion levels, enabling counselors to provide targeted interventions that align with adolescents’ developmental needs.

Capacity describes the human ability to perform, maintain itself, and self-renew. The concept of capacity building is concerned with three distinct levels: the individual, the organizational, and the community level. The literature on capacity building for school counselors is quite diverse. Accordingly, a comprehensive review of the emerging literature is required. This study conducted a systematic literature review exploring the current state of knowledge regarding the capacity building of school counselors. This study was conducted in accordance with the Standard Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P), which guided the selection of 30 articles that met the inclusion criteria. This article delineates the context of school counselor capacity building that has been conducted over the past decade, the research and measurement methods utilized in previous studies, as well as identifies potential formats and contexts for developing school counselor capacity in the future. The findings of this study provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in the field of school counselor capacity building and offer insights for future research endeavors.

This study aims to develop an inventory to measure subjective well-being among high school (SMA) and vocational high school (SMK) students in Indonesia. Using Item Response Theory (IRT with the Rasch model and Winstep software, it adopts a mixed methods design, specifically an exploratory sequential approach. Purposive sampling selects 350 participants from 16 schools in West Java, Sulawesi, and Sumatra. The inventory comprises 60 statement items across three components: pleasant affect, unpleasant affect, and life satisfaction, totaling 16 indicators. Modified Likert scales assess each item. Validation involves validators expert guidance counseling, and Rasch modeling analysis covering item fit, dimensionality, and reliability. The research findings indicate that the development of the Indonesian version of the subjective well-being inventory for high school/vocational high school students using the Rasch modeling approach has successfully produced a valid and reliable measurement tool. The analysis results show that this inventory meets the criteria for item fit, inventory dimensionality, and person and item reliability

The present focus of school counselling accountability extends beyond merely tallying activities and time invested by counsellors; it necessitates that school counsellors implement results-oriented and evidence-based methods. This study is to examine the literature about trends, models, and barriers faced by counsellors in the implementation of accountability practices. This study employs a Narrative literature review and Bibliometric analysis covering the period from 2003 to 2023, analysed using Vosviewer. The research findings indicate that the literature on accountability in school counselling is intricately linked to program evaluation, data-driven decision-making, and stakeholder collaboration, all aimed at enhancing the efficacy of counselling services in educational institutions and ultimately fostering student success. The findings of the narrative literature review elucidate models that serve as references for school counsellors in implementing accountability practices, specifically data-driven decision-making, the transformative individual school counselling model, MEASURE, the evidence-based model, and the IDEAS model. Additionally, researchers identified accountability barriers stemming from both internal and external factors affecting school counsellors.These findings may serve as a foundation for future study aimed at establishing a data-driven approach to enhance school counsellor accountability.

This study aims to show the influence of BK teachers' understanding of professional ethics and competence on the quality of guidance and counseling services. This research uses a literature review approach obtained by the source through the data base of national and international journal providers found on the google scholar page which is then analyzed. The results of this study concluded that understanding ethics and fulfilling the competence of BK teachers affects the guidance and counseling services provided. Because guidance and counseling services cannot be provided with just anyone, to facilitate the guidance and counseling process, BK teachers must have competencies and realize the code of ethics in order to achieve effective goals that are accountable to clients.

Studi tentang psychological well-being telah mendapatkan perhatian khusus yang semakin meningkat dalam dekade terakhir, terutama diintegrasikan ke dalam bidang psikologi positif. Salah satu kesulitan dalam memahami pemahaman mendalam tentang konsep kesejahteraan psikologis karena banyaknya variasi konsep yang digunakan secara bergantian dalam literatur. Ryff (1989), melakukan tugas yang sulit untuk menyaring teori-teori model kesejahteraan psikologis yang original. Model Ryff mengintegrasikan kompenen-kompenen teori konsep aktualisasi diri dari Abraham Maslow, pandangan Rogers tentang pribadi yang berfungsi penuh, rumusan individu konsep kedewasaan Allport, model tahapan psikososial Erikson, kecenderungan hidup dasar Buhler, perubahan kepribadian Neugarten, kriteria positif kesehatan mental dari Jahoda. Teori Ryff mencakup enam dimensi dasar kesejahteraan psikologis, yaitu 1) Otonomi, 2) Penguasan lingkungan, 3) Pertumbuhan pribadi, 4) Hubungan positif dengan orang lain, 5) Tujuan Hidup, 6) Penerimaan diri. Prosedur yang digunakan untuk tinjauan sistematis dalam penelitian ini dirancang berdasarkan pernyataan PRISMA (Protocol Review Systematic and Meta-Analysis). Artikel ini menyarankan agar peneliti selanjutnya dalam upaya melakukan uji konstruk pada skala psychological well-being Ryff, disarankan melakukan uji validitas isi, konvergen, dan kriteria.
