Fajar Rosyidi — 2025-09-23

This research aimed to explore the effectiveness of group counseling based on value clarification in enhancing tolerance among adolescents, with the integration of digital media as a supporting tool. The study applied a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 9 adolescents aged 15-18 years from Kudus who were identified as having low tolerance levels. The intervention consisted of six group counseling sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, utilizing digital media such as educational videos, online discussion forums, and interactive infographics to stimulate value clarification. Data on tolerance levels were collected using a tolerance scale before and after the intervention. The results indicated a significant improvement in tolerance, with the average posttest score increasing by 18.34 points compared to the pretest. Statistical analysis using paired sample t-test confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000. The findings suggest that value clarification in group counseling, supported by digital media, is a promising approach to enhancing tolerance among adolescents. This study contributes to the development of counseling programs aimed at promoting inclusive attitudes and intercultural understanding in educational settings. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and practical implementation of digital media integration in counseling.

Edil Wijaya Nur — 2025-09-23

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted various sectors, including guidance and counseling (GC) services. This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities in implementing AI as a co-counselor within GC services in Indonesia, particularly at the secondary education level. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using literature review as the primary method. Data sources included scientific articles, policy documents, and relevant research findings, which were thematically analyzed. The results indicate that AI implementation in GC offers potential to improve service efficiency, broaden access to counseling, and support personalized interventions based on data. However, key challenges include ethical concerns, data privacy, AI’s limited understanding of local cultural nuances, and the readiness of human resources (counselors and school guidance teachers) to adopt such technology. The study concludes that AI can serve as an effective co-counselor when integrated thoughtfully, ethically, and contextually. Strategic policies, continuous professional development for GC practitioners, and the development of AI systems that are responsive to local values and students’ psychosocial needs are essential for successful implementation.
