Kesejahteraan Psikologis Sebagai Tujuan Aksiologis Bimbingan dan Konseling: Tinjauan Filsafat Ilmu
Psychological well-being is a fundamental construct in individual development; however, within guidance and counseling practice it is often positioned merely as an indirect outcome of problem-focused interventions. Philosophically and empirically, psychological well-being holds substantial potential to be established as a primary goal of guidance and counseling services. This article aims to examine psychological well-being as an axiological objective of guidance and counseling through a philosophy of science perspective supported by recent empirical evidence. The method employed is a literature review of scholarly publications from the last eight years retrieved through Google Scholar. Eleven relevant articles were selected and analyzed using thematic synthesis to identify conceptual patterns and empirical findings related to psychological well-being in the context of guidance and counseling. The results indicate that psychological well-being is conceptualized as a long-term developmental outcome reflecting holistic human functioning, encompassing dimensions such as autonomy, purpose in life, personal growth, environmental mastery, self-acceptance, and positive relations with others. Various guidance and counseling interventions particularly those based on mindfulness and positive psychology interventions have been empirically demonstrated to effectively enhance eudaimonic well-being. From an axiological perspective, psychological well-being possesses strong value foundations and aligns with the ethical mandate of guidance and counseling to promote optimal human development. This article underscores the necessity of a paradigm shift in guidance and counseling practice, moving from a predominantly problem-oriented approach toward a well-being-oriented framework in which psychological well-being is positioned as a central and explicit goal of professional services.

The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of improving service quality as an effort to create high-quality, competitive PAUD institutions that are able to meet the expectations of the community.
Pendekatan Pembelajaran yang Menggunakan Kearifan Lokal sebagai Sumber Utama dalam Mengajarkan Materi IPS di Sekolah Dasar
This research has a crucial objective to facilitate primary school (SD) teachers so they are able to effectively and efficiently integrate and present Social Studies (IPS) material enriched with the content of local wisdom. Local wisdom is defined as a treasure inherited through generations, encompassing in-depth knowledge, real practices, and fundamental values that have developed and been firmly held within the local community. This foundation makes the learning process not only informative but also highly relevant and meaningful for students’ lives. This article specifically highlights that the integration of values, culture, and knowledge sourced from the local area can produce significant positive impacts. These impacts include improving students' conceptual understanding of Social Studies material, fostering their active participation in the classroom, and honing essential critical thinking skills. Teachers are encouraged to use a contextual approach or a real-life-based approach, so the material taught feels close to the students' experiences and is easier to grasp. The values embedded in local wisdom will function as a strong bridge in understanding every material concept. Thus, the knowledge acquired by students does not only stop at the cognitive level (merely theoretical knowledge), but can also be implemented concretely in the form of real actions and behavior outside the school environment. This local wisdom-based learning approach will ultimately become an important connection that guides students to act appropriately, ethically, and solution-oriented in responding to various problems they face in their daily lives.

Dampak Psikis dan Manifestasi PTSD akibat Trauma Kekerasan Masa Kecil
Psychological Impact and Manifestations of PTSD Due to Childhood Violence Trauma represent a complex intersection of developmental disruption and chronic emotional distress. Children exposed to such violence often internalize the trauma, leading to profound shifts in their mental health that manifest as persistent hypervigilance, emotional numbing, and intrusive memories that disrupt their daily functioning. Beyond immediate fear, these manifestations involve structural changes in the brain, such as an overactive amygdala and a reduced volume of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which impair a child's ability to regulate emotions and process information. Behaviorally, this often translates into externalizing symptoms like aggression and irritability, or internalizing reactions such as social withdrawal, dissociation, and "foreshortened future"—a belief that they will not live a long or normal life. If left unaddressed, these psychological scars can evolve into chronic anxiety, depression, and severe difficulties in forming healthy interpersonal relationships, creating a cycle of vulnerability that persists well into adulthood and impacts their overall quality of life.
Pengaruh Kegiatan Seni Tari Kreasi terhadap Kepercayaan Diri Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun di TK Pertiwi Desa Buluh Kasab
This study aims to examine the effect of creative dance activities on the self-confidence of children aged 4–5 years at TK Pertiwi, Buluh Kasab Village. The background of this study is the low level of children’s self-confidence, which is reflected in passive behavior, reluctance to perform in front of the class, and a lack of courage to express themselves in front of others. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. Data were collected through structured observation, while data analysis was conducted by calculating pretest and posttest scores, which were then analyzed using a paired sample t-test and effect size calculation to determine the strength of the treatment effect. The creative dance activities were implemented over six sessions by integrating elements of music, movement, and expression using two children’s songs, namely “Percaya Diri” by Abita and “Aku Bisa” by AFI Junior. The results indicated a significant improvement in children’s self-confidence, as shown by an increase in the mean score from 15.08 in the pretest to 32.75 in the posttest. The t-test results revealed a t-value of −31.006 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05). An effect size value of 6.43 indicated a very strong effect. Therefore, creative dance activities have a significant impact on enhancing early childhood self-confidence and are recommended as an effective learning strategy.
Analisis Karakteristik Peserta Didik Kelas VI SD : Kognitif, Psikomotorik, Moral, Sosial, dan Spiritual Dalam Pembelajaran
At the age range of 11–12 years, children enter the final phase of primary school which is marked by rapid development in various aspects, including cognitive, psychomotor, social, and moral, all of which are interrelated in the educational process. The development of elementary school-age children is the main foundation for the formation of personality, intelligence, and social-moral skills in the future. This study aims to analyze and describe the developmental analysis of aspects (cognitive, psychomotor, social, and moral) in children aged 11–12 years. This study uses a qualitative and descriptive approach, where data is collected through observation, interviews and documentation to understand behavior in depth. The results of the case study on the subject of Syifa Khairunnisa show that the development of these four aspects is well internalized in daily life. Syifa's cognitive development can be seen from her ability to understand material through repetition, awareness to adjust the way of learning when difficult, and the ability to explain lessons to friends in simple language. Psychomotor development is seen in good coordination of movements (e.g. in sports), fine motor skills, and self-control. In the aspect of Social Development, Syifa shows the ability to interact positively, work together, and choose peaceful ways to resolve differences of opinion. Lastly, Syifa's moral development is reflected in the attitude of caring, honesty, responsibility, obedience to school regulations, and the practice of religious values. Overall, this case study confirms that the development of children at the end of primary school is a holistic process that requires integrated support from the school environment and family.
