Negeri Haruru in Central Maluku Regency currently faces dual environmental challenges: unmanaged household organic waste and the frequent occurrence of surface water puddles during periods of high rainfall. This community service activity aims to educate and provide practical skills to junior high school students in Negeri Haruru regarding the implementation of 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) through the innovation of Biopore Infiltration Holes (LRB) using recycled plastic bottles as a cost-effective alternative to conventional liners. This innovation is designed to reduce plastic waste while simultaneously managing organic waste and improving soil water infiltration capacity independently at the household level. The implementation method involved participatory socialization, interactive discussions, and hands-on demonstrations of constructing biopore installations. The results indicated a significant increase in students' understanding of the role of soil fauna as decomposing agents and their technical ability to assemble used plastic bottles into functional biopore modules. The implementation of this innovation proved effective in maintaining the structural integrity of the infiltration holes and facilitating the biological decomposition of organic waste into compost. This program is expected to serve as a sustainable community-based environmental management model to minimize puddles and address waste problems in Negeri Haruru through a low-cost, appropriate technology approach.

This study analyzes junior high school students' errors in solving mathematics problems involving integers. This study was conducted through a systematic literature review of 12 related research articles published between 2021 and 2026. The analysis shows that students' errors in integers include contextual, procedural, and technical (calculation) errors. The most common conceptualization errors were found in the understanding of positive and negative signs and the rules for mixed operations. The main causes of errors are a lack of in-depth conceptual understanding, the habit of memorizing without understanding, and a lack of practice using concrete media. Internal factors such as learning motivation and external factors such as learning methods and media also contribute. This study recommends that the mathematics learning process emphasize meaningful conceptual understanding, the use of concrete media, and learning strategies that engage students' mathematical connection skills. Thus, difficulties in learning integers can be minimized sustainably.

Prosocial behavior is an important aspect of adolescents’ social-emotional development that needs to be optimally fostered through early detection efforts to prevent the emergence of social and mental health problems. This study employed a library research method by reviewing various journals and scientific articles related to the early detection of adolescent prosocial behavior. The findings indicate that prosocial behavior is influenced by internal factors such as empathy, emotional regulation, emotional intelligence, self-concept, and religiosity, as well as external factors including family environment, peer relationships, and education. Early detection enables school counselors to design intervention services that are aligned with students’ developmental needs. Therefore, it is essential to implement Guidance and Counseling services through the teaching of prosocial skills, empathy, communication, emotional regulation, conflict resolution training, and the enhancement of students’ self-efficacy. The use of social media to reinforce positive behavior, the provision of positive communication modules, and collaboration among teachers, parents, and the entire school community serve as systematic and sustainable strategies in shaping adolescents’ prosocial character.

Academic anxiety is one of the problems commonly experienced by students due to the pressure of assignments, demands for achievement, and concerns about learning outcomes. This article aims to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based counseling in reducing students' academic anxiety and to explain the strategic role of guidance counselors in its application in schools. This study uses a literature review method with a literature review approach. Data were obtained from various national journals relevant to the topics of academic anxiety and mindfulness, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through a process of collecting, classifying, and synthesizing the results of previous studies. The results of the study show that mindfulness-based counseling is effective in helping students reduce their levels of academic anxiety through conscious breathing exercises, focusing attention, and accepting learning experiences without negative judgment. In addition, guidance counselors play an important role as facilitators, program developers, role models for mindfulness practices, mental health advocates, and liaisons between schools and parents in supporting the success of interventions. By applying the right methods, mindfulness-based counseling can be an effective alternative service in helping students overcome academic anxiety when implemented systematically and continuously  by guidance counselors in schools.

Being able to solve problems is a key part of learning math. Many students still haven't fully understood this skill, especially when it comes to Statistics. This happens because the teaching methods haven't fully supported students in being more involved, and technology isn't being used as effectively as it could be in the lessons. So, this study was done to look at how using the Discovery Learning method along with the Photomath app affects students' ability to solve math problems. The study took place at SMPN 2 Gondangwetan during the 2024/2025 school year. It used a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group setup. The study included two groups of eighth-grade students, with each group having 30 students. Class VIII-A was the control group, and Class VIII-B was the experimental group. Data was gathered using written exams given before and after the teaching program. The pretests showed that the data followed a normal distribution but had unequal variances, so the Mann–Whitney U test was chosen to check the hypothesis. The analysis found a significance level of 0.003, which is below 0.05, showing there was a true difference between the two groups. The biggest progress was seen in the experimental group, especially in the areas of evaluating and making conclusions, which went up from 3% to 81%. So, it's clear that using the Discovery Learning model along with the Photomath app has a big positive impact on helping students improve their math problem-solving skills.  

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior that is intentionally and repeatedly carried out, characterized by an imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim. This phenomenon is not limited to childhood and adolescence but may also produce long term effects that extend into adulthood, including among university students. This study aims to explore the long term impact of bullying on victims’ mental health, with a particular focus on students who have experienced bullying in the past. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using a literature review approach. Data were obtained through a comprehensive analysis of scientific articles, national and international journals, and previous studies related to bullying and mental health. The findings show that victims of bullying face a higher risk of psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD, low self esteem, and difficulties in social interactions. These effects influence not only emotional well-being but also academic functioning, including reduced concentration, decreased learning motivation, and lower academic performance. In addition, prolonged psychological stress resulting from bullying may lead to physical problems, such as sleep disturbances and somatic complaints. Factors including limited social support, maladaptive coping strategies, and high intensity or prolonged exposure to bullying were found to intensify the negative impacts experienced by victims. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive prevention and intervention efforts in higher education settings, such as the provision of accessible counseling services, the implementation of strict anti bullying policies, and the strengthening of social support systems to minimize the long-term mental health effects of bullying among university students.

Pendidikan merupakan proses yang tidak hanya berorientasi pada pencapaian akademik, tetapi juga pada pengembangan potensi, karakter, serta kemampuan sosial peserta didik. Dalam praktiknya, setiap siswa memiliki latar belakang, kemampuan intelektual, kondisi emosional, dan lingkungan sosial yang berbeda, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan berbagai permasalahan, baik akademik, pribadi, maupun sosial. Permasalahan tersebut apabila tidak ditangani secara tepat dapat berdampak pada menurunnya motivasi belajar, rendahnya prestasi, hingga terganggunya proses penyesuaian diri siswa di lingkungan sekolah. Oleh karena itu, layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK) memiliki peran strategis dalam membantu siswa memahami diri, mengembangkan potensi, serta menyelesaikan permasalahan yang dihadapi secara efektif dan terarah. Guru BK sebagai tenaga profesional di sekolah tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai pemberi layanan konseling, tetapi juga sebagai motivator, mediator, fasilitator, dan pembimbing dalam mendukung perkembangan optimal siswa. Melalui layanan pribadi, sosial, dan akademik, guru BK berupaya menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang kondusif dan mendukung pertumbuhan karakter siswa secara menyeluruh. Di SMPIT ‘Abdan Syakuro Lampu Iman, pelaksanaan layanan BK dilakukan secara sistematis melalui program rutin, konseling individu, psikotes, serta kolaborasi dengan wali kelas dan pihak sekolah. Meskipun demikian, masih terdapat kendala seperti rendahnya kesadaran siswa untuk berkonsultasi secara mandiri. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut, penting untuk mengkaji efektivitas peran guru BK dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan siswa guna meningkatkan kualitas layanan konseling di sekolah.

A moral crisis occurs when a person loses the attitude, character, and behavior that are in accordance with goodness. Moral and ethical crises often occur among the younger generation in Indonesia due to various factors, such as the impact of globalization, the influence of social media, the lack of parental involvement, and the lack of character education in schools. This study aims to explore the relevance of character education values in M. Quraish Shihab's Tafsir Al-Mishbah to the problems faced by students in the contemporary era. The crisis of morality, bullying, and the threat of radicalism are the background to the urgency of internalizing contextual Qur'anic values. This research is qualitative in nature, using library research, a thematic approach, and content analysis. The results show that the concept of character education in Tafsir Al-Mishbah is rooted in the relationship between the meaning of Rabb and tarbiyah, which aims to shape Insan Kamil through intellectual and spiritual balance. Analysis of Q.S. Luqman: 12-13, Q.S. Al-Hujurat: 11-13, and Q.S. Al-Mujadilah: 11 reveals fundamental values such as monotheism, gratitude, tolerance, and manners in seeking knowledge. The relevance of the findings shows that Quraish Shihab's moderate (wasathiyah) thinking is very effective in protecting students from extreme ideas, building digital literacy ethics through the principle of tabayyun, and eliminating the culture of violence in schools through a humanistic approach. This study concludes that Tafsir Al-Mishbah offers a functional methodological framework for strengthening the character of 21st-century students.

Academic stress is a psychological pressure commonly experienced by final-year university students, particularly during the process of completing their undergraduate thesis. High academic demands, limited time, pressure to graduate on schedule, and various obstacles encountered during research may intensify students’ emotional burden. When left unmanaged, academic stress can escalate into more serious psychological problems, including suicidal ideation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic stress levels and suicidal ideation among final-year students at Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang. This research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 180 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments consisted of the Perceived Academic Stress (PAS) scale to measure academic stress levels and the Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ) to assess suicidal ideation. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of students experienced high (49.4%) and very high (47.8%) levels of academic stress. Meanwhile, suicidal ideation was most commonly found in the mild category (42.8%), followed by the no-risk category (28.9%). The statistical test indicated a significance value of p = 0.021 with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.172, demonstrating a positive and significant relationship between academic stress and suicidal ideation. These findings indicate that higher levels of academic stress are associated with an increased likelihood of suicidal thoughts among final-year students. The study highlights the importance of mental health support, academic guidance, and accessible counseling services to mitigate psychological distress and reduce the risk of suicidal ideation during the thesis completion period.
