Individuals who do not live with their parents or do not have a nuclear family are generally placed in social care institutions such as orphanages. Living outside the family environment causes orphaned adolescents to experience limitations in building emotional bonds that are usually obtained from interactions with family. The absence of strong emotional relationships can affect various aspects of adolescent psychology, one of which is self-acceptance. Adolescents living in orphanages often perceive themselves as different from adolescents raised in intact families. This feeling can impact the formation of self-concept, self-esteem, and how they view and accept themselves. This study aims to examine the level of self-acceptance of orphaned adolescents living in orphanages, identify factors that influence self-acceptance, and understand the role of self-acceptance in relation to other psychological variables. This study was conducted using a literature review method of various relevant previous research results. Based on the results of the literature review, it was found that self-acceptance of orphaned adolescents in orphanages is generally at a moderate to high level. Several key factors contributing to this self-acceptance include social support from the surrounding environment, self-esteem, optimism, and a positive self-concept. These factors are interrelated and play a crucial role in shaping the psychological resilience and mental health of adolescents in orphanages.   Keywords: self-acceptance , orphaned teenager, orphanage

This research aims to know the Role of Teachers in Addressing Bullying Behavior in Fourth Grade Students of XXV Wailiti Maumere Elementary School. The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data sources in this study are primary and secondary data. The primary data obtained from the fourth-grade students and teachers of XXV Wailiti Maumere Elementary School, while the secondary data is collected from archives or school data and books and journals that support this research. Data analysis in this study was conducted before entering the field, during the fieldwork, and after completing the fieldwork. The activities in data analysis include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the role of the teacher in addressing bullying behavior among fourth-grade students at XXV Wailiti Maumere Elementary School is that when there are problems, the class teacher calls the involved students, those who have issues are called one by one, the problems that occur are investigated, the issue is clarified first, the teacher identifies the problems that occur, the student who made the mistake is called and confronted, the student involved in the issue is asked one by one "Did you do it or not?", both parties are reconciled, an agreement is made so that the behavior is not repeated, and if it cannot be resolved, then the parents are called or the matter is handed over to the principal or his deputy.

This study aims to analyse the impact of e-report card implementation within the framework of digital transformation in educational services on parental satisfaction and involvement at the elementary school level. Employing a narrative literature review, the research synthesised 47 articles published between 2019 and 2025, retrieved from international and national academic databases such as Google Scholar, DOAJ, CORE, the Garuda Portal, and institutional repositories. Thematic analysis generated five core findings. First, e-report cards are identified as a determinant of parental satisfaction, showing a strong positive correlation with improved parental trust and transparency in assessment processes. Second, digital transformation functions as a catalyst that enhances parental engagement, with evidence of up to a threefold increase in participation. Third, the quality of systems and clarity of information play mediating roles, ensuring that digital tools contribute effectively to parental outcomes. Fourth, challenges related to the digital divide and levels of digital literacy moderate the effectiveness of implementation, often influencing disparities in outcomes across different socioeconomic contexts. Finally, the process of adaptation follows a gradual four-stage evolutionary model, highlighting how parents integrate digital platforms over time. Overall, the study confirms a significant positive relationship between e-report card implementation and parental satisfaction and involvement, while also recognising the influence of contextual factors such as infrastructure readiness and socioeconomic diversity. The findings contribute theoretically through the development of the Digital Parental Engagement Model and offer practical insights for formulating educational digitalisation policies that are responsive to district-level stakeholder needs.

This study aims to analyze the role of digital communication between parents and schools in improving the effectiveness of student attendance administration and scholarship management at SMA XYZ, and to identify factors influencing its implementation within a sustainable educational ecosystem. The research employed a narrative literature review approach with a comprehensive literature analysis from major academic databases, including Google Scholar and ProQuest Education Database, covering publications from 2010 to 2024. Data were collected through systematic searches using keyword combinations of digital communication, parent-school communication, educational technology, student attendance, scholarship administration, and family engagement, followed by thematic analysis to identify patterns and research gaps. Digital communication demonstrated high intensity (4.2/5 score) with WhatsApp as the dominant platform (65%). While 70% of parents increased their academic involvement, only 45% provided appropriate emotional support. Significant barriers included digital divide (30% infrastructure constraints), digital literacy gaps (25%), and boundary management issues (40% of teachers contacted outside working hours). Digital communication improved administrative transparency and real-time monitoring, though communication patterns remained predominantly unidirectional, with only 35% of parents providing active feedback. The study contributes to Digital Education Communication Theory by identifying paradoxes in digital parental engagement and confirming Digital Divide Theory in educational contexts. Findings expand Family Engagement Theory by revealing how real-time information access can create surveillance parenting behaviors that may be counterproductive to student well-being. Results indicate an urgent need for comprehensive digital communication policies, parent digital literacy programs, and infrastructure support to create an equitable and sustainable digital educational ecosystem that balances accessibility with professional boundaries.

A parenting seminar on maternal and child mental health organized by KPM UI Bunga Bangsa Cirebon students in Pegagan Village is a form of community service aimed at raising awareness and understanding of the importance of mental health in parenting. The limited knowledge of mental health issues in rural communities, coupled with high levels of stress experienced by parents, often negatively impacts parenting practices. This has the potential to hinder optimal child development, both physically, psychologically, and socially. Therefore, this activity was designed with a participatory approach, where the community is not merely an object but is also involved from the beginning of the planning process. This process includes coordination with village officials, seminars, and monitoring and evaluation stages, so that the community feels ownership and plays an active role in the program. The seminar featured speakers from psychology and legal academics who explained the relationship between parental mental health and fulfilling legal obligations to protect children's rights. The material presented emphasized how parental stress and emotions can affect child development, as well as the importance of parents' ability to manage the pressures of everyday life. Participants gained an understanding of strategies for maintaining mental health, including good time management, building open communication within the family environment, and strengthening social support as an emotional support system. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' awareness of the importance of mental health not only as an individual need, but also as a moral, social, and legal responsibility in creating a healthy, safe, and resilient family environment. Therefore, this parenting seminar can be seen as an effective educational strategy, not only strengthening parents' capacity to raise children but also building sustainable local support networks for the well-being of families and communities.

Aceh is currently experiencing a public health crisis, with outbreaks of infectious diseases, including three cases of VDPV2 polio and a significant rise in diphtheria cases in 2023. Immunization plays a vital role in preventing and controlling diseases like polio and diphtheria. However, over the past five years, immunization coverage in Aceh has steadily declined, positioning it as the lowest in Indonesia. This study aims to explore how two local news outlets, Ajnn.net and Serambinews.com, frame news coverage regarding the low immunization rates in Aceh. Using a qualitative approach, the study applies Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis, which focuses on issue selection and salience. The findings reveal a notable difference in how the two media outlets frame the issue of low immunization coverage. Ajnn.net frames the issue by highlighting the root causes of the declining immunization rates, such as socio-economic factors and inadequate healthcare services. In contrast, Serambinews.com emphasizes the consequences of insufficient immunization, focusing on the potential health risks, outbreaks, and increased mortality rates among children. Despite their differing approaches, both outlets rely primarily on government sources for their reporting. This reliance makes their coverage less balanced and objective, as the perspectives of other stakeholders, such as local health experts, parents, and community organizations, are largely excluded. The analysis suggests that while Ajnn.net sheds light on the underlying causes of low immunization rates, Serambinews.com underscores the dire consequences. Both outlets, however, could enhance their reporting by incorporating a wider range of sources to offer a more comprehensive and investigative view of the issue.

The purpose of this research and community service is to identify the problems that occur in the Sukamulya Cikupa Tangerang community and to conduct outreach activities on the role of parents in shaping a generation with Islamic character in the digital era. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR). The PAR method is a research and community empowerment approach that positions the community as active participants in the process of identifying problems and designing solutions. This outreach activity is the result of collaboration between residents, the Izzatin Nisa Islamic study group, Muhammadiyah University of Tangerang, and local community leaders. The community service was carried out at Maditerania Residence Sukamulya, Cikupa District, Tangerang Regency. The outreach participants consisted of housewives, teachers, community leaders, and factory workers, totaling 300 participants. The resource person in this outreach activity was a lecturer from Muhammadiyah University of Tangerang. The results of this research and community service are that there are negative impacts of digital technology devices on the younger generation. To prevent these negative impacts, the role of parents is needed in educating, supervising, and providing digital literacy provisions to the younger generation to avoid negative impacts. There is also a need for public education regarding the role of parents in shaping a young generation with Islamic character in accordance with Islamic teachings in the digital era.

This study aims to identify and describe the role of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in addressing cases of cyberbullying at SMA Al-Islam Krian, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies implemented in its prevention and handling. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that PAI teachers serve not only as educators but also as moral guides and motivators who instill Islamic values through personal approaches, digital ethics education, and the reinforcement of students' religious character. The strategies implemented include integrating religious values into the learning process, using religious activities to shape character, and participating in conflict mediation among students. Challenges faced include limited digital literacy among teachers, insufficient school policy support, and a lack of awareness among students and parents regarding the impact of cyberbullying. The study concludes that the role of PAI teachers is highly strategic and should be strengthened through training, supportive policies, and collaboration with various stakeholders to create a safe and morally grounded school environment .

Education plays a fundamental role in shaping character, developing personality, and exploring students' potential. Schools should ideally be safe, comfortable, and conducive spaces for student growth and development. However, reality shows that the school environment is still vulnerable to negative behaviors such as bullying and sexual violence. Bullying is understood as aggressive behavior carried out repeatedly with the aim of harming the victim, whether through physical, verbal, social, or online media (cyberbullying). Meanwhile, sexual violence includes various forms of sexual acts without the victim's consent, which have serious impacts on psychological, social, and academic achievement. Sexual violence in schools not only harms the victims physically but also leaves deep psychological scars that may affect their future. To respond to this problem, KKM Group 30 Bina Bangsa University conducted a socialization activity entitled "Stop Bullying and Sexual Violence" at SMAN X, District Y. The main objective of this activity was to provide in-depth understanding, build awareness, and encourage mutual respect in the school environment. The outreach was conducted through several methods, including presentations by resource persons, educational drama performances depicting real-life cases, and interactive question-and-answer sessions involving active student participation. Interactive sessions are essential to engage students and encourage them to express their thoughts openly. The results of the activities demonstrated high student enthusiasm, increased understanding of the forms and impacts of bullying and sexual violence, and a growing awareness to report victims or witnesses. These activities emphasized that prevention is not solely the responsibility of schools but also requires collaboration between students, teachers, parents, and the wider community. This creates a safe, comfortable learning environment free from all forms of violence.

This study examines the perceptions of the Pucangadi Village community towards the educational children's program "SiBobo" broadcast by TVRI Central Java. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with fifteen informants selected purposively. Informants consisted of parents, teachers, and local residents who have views regarding the program. The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which the program "SiBobo" is accepted and has a positive impact on the development of children in the community. The results showed that the program "SiBobo" is considered an entertaining and educational learning medium by the majority of informants. This program successfully conveys moral and social messages relevant to children's lives, such as the values ​​of togetherness, social awareness, and the importance of protecting the environment. This program is also considered able to attract children's attention in a fun way, making them interested in learning while playing. In addition, the content presented in this program can increase children's knowledge about local culture and wisdom, which is expected to increase their love for Indonesian culture. However, despite "SiBobo"'s high educational value, the presence of gadgets and children's preference for digital content, such as YouTube videos and game apps, often divert their attention from public television. Children are more interested in shows they can access anytime through their devices. This suggests that while television shows like "SiBobo" still play a significant role, competition from digital media presents a significant challenge. This study emphasizes the importance of revitalizing children's programming based on local values ​​and the need for more adaptive communication strategies to optimally convey educational messages.

Child marriage remains a serious problem in Indonesia despite the revision of the Marriage Law, which raised the minimum age for marriage to 19 for both men and women through Law No. 16 of 2019. This practice remains widespread, especially in rural areas with a high prevalence due to economic and cultural factors, the existence of marriage dispensation mechanisms, and low legal literacy. The phenomenon of child marriage has multidimensional impacts, including reproductive health risks, high school dropout rates, low quality human resources, economic vulnerability, and psychological problems that can ultimately lead to high divorce rates and intergenerational structural poverty. Through Community Service Activities (PKM), prevention efforts are carried out by providing legal education and outreach regarding the risks of early marriage. Methods used include lectures, presentations, modeling, role plays, and small group discussions involving teenagers, parents, traditional leaders, and religious leaders. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in legal understanding, where 85% of participants were aware of the minimum age for marriage according to the latest regulations. Furthermore, there was increased awareness of the negative impacts of child marriage and a growing commitment from community leaders to continue ongoing outreach. The conclusion of this activity confirmed that marriage law education is an effective strategy in raising public awareness. However, preventing child marriage cannot rely solely on legal outreach; it needs to be strengthened through cross-sector collaboration, integration of materials into the school curriculum, family economic empowerment, and strengthening the role of religious and traditional leaders in shaping social opinion. Therefore, efforts to prevent early marriage require a more holistic, participatory, and sustainable strategy to protect children's rights and realize the development of a quality future generation.

This research focuses on the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in actualizing the values of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah (Aswaja) Annahdliyah as one of the Islamic guidelines that develop and are firmly rooted in Indonesia. Aswaja values have distinctive characteristics that emphasize moderation, tolerance, and maintaining religious traditions that have been acculturated with local culture without abandoning the principles of Islamic law. In the context of education, Aswaja is an important foundation in shaping the character of students who are religious, nationalist, and able to appreciate diversity in a multicultural society. The purpose of this study is to find out: (1) how to implement the role of PAI teachers in integrating Aswaja values in the learning process at MA NU Assalafie Babakan Ciwaringin Cirebon, (2) problems that arise in the actualization process, such as limited student understanding, differences in family backgrounds, to the challenges of globalization currents that can affect religious understanding, and (3) efforts made by teachers to overcome them, for example, through a personal approach, strengthening Aswaja-based teaching materials, and collaboration with schools and parents. This study uses a qualitative method with a field study approach. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews with madrasah heads, deputy heads of student affairs, and five PAI teachers, and documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn, then tested for validity with the source triangulation technique. The results of the study show that the role of PAI teachers is very crucial in maintaining the value of Aswaja so that it remains relevant and internalized in students.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires comprehensive and sustainable prevention efforts. Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by the search for identity, emotional instability, and high levels of influence from the social environment, including peers. In this context, family education plays a central role as the first line of defense in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through open communication, wise supervision, and consistent love and emotional support, parents can create a safe and supportive environment for their children's mental development. Effective family education includes strengthening moral, religious, and social values, aiming to shape adolescents' character and resilience to environmental pressures. In certain situations, family education also needs to be supported by a scientific approach, one of which is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a psychological approach that focuses on improving negative thought patterns and behaviors. In the context of discussing drugs, CBT can help adolescents identify the emotional and social triggers that lead them to try illicit substances and equip them with strategies to cope healthily. The integration of family education and CBT therapy creates a comprehensive approach—from the home to professional support—to strengthen adolescents' mental resilience. This collaboration not only reduces the risk of addiction but also encourages adolescents to become more self-aware, emotionally healthy, and productive individuals. Therefore, synergy between families, schools, and mental health professionals is crucial in creating a drug-free generation of young people ready to face the challenges of modern life. Therefore, the active involvement of all parties, including educational institutions and the community, is essential to creating an environment that supports early drug prevention.

This study aims to examine and analyze the Islamic educational values ​​contained in the local tradition of Ada' Tuho Ulumanda and its implementation at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Popenga Village, Ulumanda District, Majene Regency. The Ada' Tuho tradition is one of the cultural heritages of the Ulumanda community that is full of moral, social, and spiritual values ​​that are closely related to the principles of Islamic education, especially the values ​​of faith, morals, and society. In the context of Muslim society, local traditions are not only seen as cultural symbols, but also function as a medium for transmitting religious values ​​that strengthen Islamic identity while maintaining social harmony. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data obtained are analyzed thematically to reveal the Islamic educational values ​​contained in the practice of Ada' Tuho and its form of implementation in the Islamic boarding school environment. The results of the study indicate that the Ada' Tuho tradition contains a number of important values, including: the value of monotheism that emphasizes faith and respect for God's power, moral values ​​that include honesty, responsibility, discipline, and respect for parents and others, and social values ​​in the form of solidarity, mutual cooperation, deliberation, and justice in community life. The implementation of these values ​​at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School is carried out through a formal learning process, habituation of worship, exemplary behavior of the ustaz, and strengthening the character of students based on the integration of Islamic values ​​and local wisdom. Thus, the Islamic boarding school plays a role as an agent of preserving religious culture that is able to harmonize Islamic teachings with local traditions constructively, making it relevant to strengthening contextual Islamic education in the modern era.

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors that influence school leadership and management at SMP Negeri Satu Atap 01 Ciseeng. The background of this study is based on the low effectiveness of school management as indicated by the results of quality evaluations and the limited resources that are characteristic of schools in remote areas. The limitations include aspects of teaching staff, facilities and infrastructure, and low stakeholder involvement in decision-making. The study was conducted from May to June 2025 with a qualitative approach through a case study method. The research subjects included the principal, teachers, school committee, parents of students, and school supervisors. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model from Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of school leadership and management is strongly influenced by five main factors, namely: (1) the principal's leadership competence, (2) management of human and material resources, (3) the level of teacher participation in decision-making, (4) a collaborative organizational culture, and (5) strong external support from the school committee and parents. It was found that school principals play a dominant role in developing organizational culture and management strategies, but have not yet optimally engaged teachers and parents. Therefore, it is important to encourage more participatory leadership patterns and openness to cross-role collaboration. This study suggests the need for locally context-based leadership training and the development of policies that support remote school management. By strengthening synergy between stakeholders, it is hoped that school management in remote areas can be more effective and adaptive to the challenges they face.  

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires a comprehensive prevention strategy. One key element in this effort is family education, which plays a frontline role in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through consistent education, supervision, and emotional support, families can build a foundation for positive behavior and mental resilience in adolescents. Effective family education includes open communication between parents and children, teaching moral and religious values, and creating a safe, harmonious, and warm home environment. Healthy communication allows adolescents to feel comfortable discussing problems or pressures they face, thereby minimizing the risk of falling into drug abuse. In addition to the role of the family, psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have proven effective in strengthening adolescents' resilience to social pressures and the temptation of drugs. CBT focuses on helping individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and risky behaviors that trigger abuse. With CBT techniques, adolescents can learn stress management skills, improve decision-making skills, and develop healthier, adaptive behaviors. The integration of family education and CBT therapy results in a more holistic prevention approach. Families provide a foundation of morals, values, and emotional support, while CBT strengthens adolescents' psychological abilities to face life's challenges. This synergy can increase resilience, reduce vulnerability to negative influences, and equip adolescents with effective strategies for resisting drugs. By optimizing the role of the family and combining it with psychological interventions, it is hoped that a healthy, productive young generation will emerge, free from the threat of drugs, enabling them to contribute positively to society and the future of the nation.

This study aims to describe in depth the role of guidance and counseling (BK) in improving the effectiveness of consultation and collaboration services at SMA Negeri 3 Tasikmalaya City. Consultation and collaboration services are an integral component of the BK program that focuses on professional interactions between BK teachers and various related parties, such as subject teachers, homeroom teachers, parents, and other stakeholders who are concerned about student development. Through these services, BK teachers help students overcome personal, social, and academic problems holistically. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation analysis to obtain a comprehensive picture of the consultation and collaboration practices implemented. The data analysis process was carried out thematically to identify interaction patterns, forms of collaboration, and supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of services. The results show that BK teachers at SMA Negeri 3 Tasikmalaya City play an active role as a communication liaison between students, teachers, and parents, as well as mediators in solving problems faced by students. Effective collaboration between BK teachers and all related parties contributes to the creation of a conducive, inclusive, and responsive learning environment to students' needs. Consultation services implemented in a planned, continuous, and data-driven manner can provide a better understanding of student problems and offer appropriate and applicable alternative solutions. These findings confirm that guidance and counseling play a strategic role in supporting educational success in schools. The implementation of effective consultation and collaboration services not only positively impacts student problem-solving but also strengthens synergy between educational elements in building a supportive school climate oriented toward student well-being.

This study aims to uncover, analyze, and document the cultural values embodied in the paca or belis tradition in Manggarai community weddings in Golo Wangkung Village, Congkar District, East Manggarai Regency. The belis tradition is understood as an important element in wedding customs that symbolizes the groom's family's respect for the bride's family for their services in raising and educating their daughter until she is ready to start a household. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, utilizing data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, the bridal couple, and local residents, as well as documentation of the traditional procession. The results show that belis not only contains economic value through the provision of material or livestock, but is also full of social, cultural, and spiritual meaning. The main values identified include respect for parents and ancestors, the responsibility of the groom's family for the continuity of family relationships, strengthening social ties between two extended families, and a symbol of the legitimacy of marriage according to Manggarai customs. The belis tradition also functions as a mechanism to maintain harmonious relationships between families and strengthen social networks within the community. Furthermore, this tradition plays a strategic role in maintaining local cultural identity amidst modernization and changing social values. However, challenges arise when the economic value of belis experiences inflation or a shift in meaning, potentially triggering financial burdens and conflict. Therefore, preserving the belis tradition requires adjustments to its values and implementation mechanisms to maintain its relevance, without losing the essence of respect and togetherness that are at the heart of Manggarai culture. This research makes an important contribution to the documentation and preservation of cultural heritage, and serves as a reference for local governments, traditional leaders, and the community in maintaining the sustainability of the paca or belis tradition.

This study examines the influence of parental absenteeism and parenting styles on adolescent delinquent behavior, as well as the role of emotional intelligence as a moderator. The research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. Data were collected from 224 high school students using delinquency scales, parental absenteeism, parenting styles, and the TEIQue-SF. The data were analyzed using linear regression and moderation analysis with SPSS and the PROCESS model 1 macro. The results indicate that parental absenteeism has a significant positive effect on juvenile delinquency (β = 0.232, p < 0.01), which means that the more frequently parents are absent, the higher the likelihood of delinquent behavior in adolescents. Additionally, parenting styles also have a significant effect on delinquency (R² = 0.149, p < 0.01). Both authoritarian and permissive styles increase the risk of delinquency, while the authoritative style serves as a protective factor that can reduce juvenile delinquency. The authoritative style, combining discipline with affection, is shown to be effective in preventing negative behaviors in adolescents. Emotional intelligence plays a significant role as a moderator in the relationship between parental absenteeism and delinquency (β = -0.128, p < 0.05), suggesting that adolescents with higher emotional intelligence can mitigate the negative impact of parental absenteeism on their delinquent behavior. However, emotional intelligence does not significantly moderate the relationship between parenting styles and delinquency. These findings highlight the importance of active parental involvement in parenting and the development of adolescents' emotional intelligence to prevent delinquent behavior. Therefore, comprehensive and culturally-based intervention approaches involving families, schools, and communities are needed to support the prevention of adolescent delinquency and foster healthy, positive relationships for them.
