Fungsi Sosial Tuturan Mitos Kehamilan pada Masyarakat Jawa di Malang Selatan
This study discusses the social functions of speech in pregnancy myths within the Javanese community of South Malang through a sociolinguistic perspective. The purpose of this study is to describe the forms of social functions found in pregnancy myth utterances and the sociolinguistic meanings contained within them. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research data were in the form of oral utterances delivered by mothers, grandmothers, elders, husbands, and traditional birth attendants to pregnant women. The results of the study indicate that pregnancy myth utterances have four social functions, namely educational, regulative, protective, and cultural inheritance functions. The protective function is the most dominant because most utterances contain prohibitions and advice aimed at protecting pregnant women and unborn babies from physical, psychological, and spiritual risks. Pregnancy myth utterances reflect the close relationship between language, culture, belief systems, and the social life of the Javanese community in South Malang, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
Kesantunan Berbahasa Santri Putra di Lingkungan Pondok Pesantren Roudlotul Ulum Karangtanjung Alian Kebumen: Kajian Pragmatik
This In the male student community of Pondok Pesantren Roudlotul Ulum Karangtanjung Alian Kebumen, language use reflects a dynamic negotiation of politeness shaped by hierarchical relations and daily social interaction, yet systematic analysis of such politeness practices remains limited. This study aims to describe the forms of compliance and violations of Geoffrey Leech’s Politeness Principle in the daily interactions of male students. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using 126 utterances as the data source collected through observation, recording, note-taking, and interviews. The data were analyzed using the extralingual equivalent method based on Leech’s six politeness maxims: tact, generosity, approbation, modesty, agreement, and sympathy. The findings reveal 78 utterances indicating politeness compliance and 48 utterances showing politeness violations. Compliance is predominantly realized in approbation and tact maxims, particularly through expressions of praise, permission requests, and indirect requests. In contrast, violations frequently occur in agreement and approbation maxims, marked by rejection of suggestions and direct criticism among students. The study concludes that politeness practices among male students are context-dependent and fluctuate between adherence to and deviation from politeness norms. These findings contribute to pragmatics by enriching empirical evidence of politeness behavior in pesantren discourse and offer implications for language education in fostering more contextually aware communicative competence.
Penyusunan CPL Berbasis Kkni Level 8 Dan Visi Prodi Magister Pendidikan Agama Islam Melalui Analisis RPS Mata Kuliah Sejarah Sosial Pendidikan Islam
This study aims to analyze the formulation of Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLOs) based on the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) Level 8 and their alignment with the vision of the Master’s Program in Islamic Education through an analysis of the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) for the Social History of Islamic Education course. The research employed a qualitative approach using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) on curriculum documents, including graduate learning outcomes, the study program vision, and the RPS. The findings reveal that the RPS contains systematic learning components that support the development of students’ critical thinking, analytical skills, and religious values. Its alignment with KKNI Level 8 is reflected in theoretical mastery, analytical competence, and active learning strategies through discussions and academic studies. However, the implementation of research-based learning, transdisciplinary approaches, and innovative scientific work remains suboptimal. Furthermore, the integration among GLOs, Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), learning methods, and assessment systems requires further strengthening to better support graduate competencies at the master’s level. This study proposes revised GLO formulations emphasizing research-based knowledge development, multidisciplinary problem-solving skills, academic professionalism, and Islamic character. These findings are expected to contribute to curriculum evaluation and development in the Master’s Program in Islamic Education to ensure greater relevance to KKNI Level 8 standards and the contemporary needs of Islamic education.
Pembelajaran Tari Tradisional Minangkabau: Antara Penguasaan Gerak dan Pemahaman Nilai Budaya di SMP Negeri 1 Koto XI Tarusan
Dance education in schools is not only intended to develop students’ psychomotor skills but also serves as a crucial medium for transmitting local cultural values. However, based on preliminary observations conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Koto XI Tarusan, Pesisir Selatan Regency, the learning process of Minangkabau traditional dance is still heavily focused on mastering dance movements rather than understanding the history, philosophy, and cultural values embedded within the dance. This condition causes students to perform the dance properly while lacking an understanding of the symbolic meanings attached to each movement. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques to describe the implementation of traditional dance learning at the school. The findings indicate that the dominance of practical exercises has resulted in students’ limited cultural understanding, leading to a pedagogical gap. Therefore, a learning process that integrates skills, knowledge, and cultural values in a balanced manner is urgently needed. This study recommends the use of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach and the active involvement of local cultural figures to make dance learning more meaningful and culturally authentic.
Efektivitas Kemampuan Berbicara Mahasiswa pada Vlog Youtube: Perspektif Linguistik
Speaking ability is a productive language skill that emphasizes accurate pronunciation, appropriate language structures, meaningful expression, and the suitability of language use in communication contexts. It involves mastery of phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects in oral communication. This study aims to: (1) describe students’ speaking ability in YouTube vlogs from a linguistic perspective; and (2) examine the effectiveness of the findings for learning, particularly in the development of digital media-based speaking instruction. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method because it focused on understanding the characteristics of students’ speaking ability in digital communication rather than conducting quantitative measurement. Data were collected through observation and note-taking techniques by carefully and repeatedly examining students’ YouTube vlog videos to identify utterances reflecting speaking ability. The identified utterances were transcribed and recorded in coding sheets to facilitate systematic data organization. The data consisted of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and oral discourse representing the use of phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data classification, and interpretation. Relevant data were selected and categorized according to linguistic aspects, then interpreted to explain how students’ speaking ability was demonstrated through digital communication in vlogs. The findings are expected to provide a clear description of students’ speaking ability in YouTube vlogs and to highlight the effectiveness of vlogs as a digital medium for supporting speaking instruction and enhancing students’ oral communication skills in contemporary learning environments.

Tindak Tutur Ilokusi tentang Penyalahgunaan Agama di Kanal Youtube Raymond Chin
This study aims to examine illocutionary speech acts used in the context of religious abuse. This problem is examined in pragmatics, specifically through illocutionary speech acts. This study aims to identify and describe the types of illocutionary speech acts in the context of religious abuse in digital media. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a pragmatic theoretical approach.

The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method, with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation, analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that inclusive education planning is implemented through the equal implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum (Independent Curriculum) without a specific curriculum for ABK, with technical learning adjustments that take into account the characteristics of ABK as athletes with disabilities under the Ministry of Youth and Sports. History learning utilizes the same learning modules, along with adjustments to methods, flexibility in time, and the use of Google Classroom. Obstacles that emerged included limited learning time, limited infrastructure, the lack of Special Assistance Teachers (GPK), and uneven distribution of inclusive training. Solutions implemented included flexible learning, group work, technology utilization, teacher competency development, and collaboration with the NPCI (National Institute of Indonesia). Overall, inclusive education at SMA Negeri 9 Surakarta operates adaptively to meet the needs of students.
Kesantunan Berbahasa Warganet dalam Menanggapi Usulan Gentengisasi pada Postingan Instagram Folkative
This research arose from the growth of social media as an online public platform that influences communication methods, including netizens' politeness. The purpose of this study is to explain the types of illocutionary speech acts and analyze compliance and violations of politeness principles in netizens' responses to the proposed gentengization in Folkative's Instagram post. The method used was descriptive qualitative with a pragmatic approach. Data was collected through a listening and note-taking technique on the top 100–160 comments, then analyzed using the distribution method based on John Searle's speech act theory and Geoffrey Leech's politeness principles. The research findings indicate that netizens employed various speech acts, such as representative, directive, expressive, and commissive. In terms of politeness, compliance and violations were identified, with the most frequent violations occurring in the maxims of appreciation and agreement. This suggests that interactions on social media tend to be more expressive and less organized. This research contributes to enriching the study of digital pragmatics and raising public awareness of polite communication in online public spaces.
Analisis Semiotika Roland Barthes terhadap Legenda Pesut Mahakam pada Masyarakat Kutai
This study aims to explain the meaning contained in the Legend of Pesut Mahakam, especially the denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings, using the semiotic theory developed by Roland Barthes. The Legend of Pesut Mahakam is one of the stories from the people of East Kalimantan that carries cultural value, a moral lesson, and the local understanding that the people of Kutai have. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a research type based on reference books. The main source of data comes from the text of the Legenda Pesut Mahakam, which is found in the book Cerita Rakyat Daerah Kalimantan Timur written by Noor dkk. Data is collected by reading and noting down, while data analysis involves identifying signs that have meaning in terms of denotation, connotation, and myth, based on the semiotic theory proposed by Roland Barthes.

The implied meaning shows the feelings of unfairness, suffering, loneliness, responsibility, and regret that parents experience. This story shows how the community believes in the origin of Pesut Mahakam, passed down through generations, and includes moral values and local wisdom within it. Therefore, the Legend of Pesut Mahakam is not just a simple folk story, but also a way for the Kutai community to pass down their cultural values. The main keywords are wisdom.
Aksesibilitas dan Rasa Keadilan Siswa Berkebutuhan Khusus di SMP Negeri 15 Semarang
Inclusive education seeks to ensure that all learners, including students with special needs, have equal access to quality educational services. Its successful implementation depends on accessibility and educational fairness, which enable students to participate meaningfully in the learning process.

The community adapts through habituation, social interaction, role models provided by boarding school figures, and participation in boarding school activities. This adaptation encourages changes in community life toward a more religious environment, structures public visual identities, reshapes local livelihoods, and strengthens social relations based on structural-functional stability between the boarding school and local residents. The study indicates that Islamic boarding schools play an important role as centers of education, Islamic preaching, socio-economic restructuring, and socio-religious cultural formation.
Filantropi Biblika sebagai Paradigma Pedagogis Pendidikan Agama Kristen di Tengah Masyarakat Majemuk dan Multikultural
Indonesian education continues to face serious relational challenges, including declining social empathy, increasing individualism, limited capacity to embrace diversity, and persistent bullying that undermines students' dignity. In this context, Christian Religious Education (CRE) should move beyond the mere transmission of doctrine toward a transformative pedagogical praxis that nurtures compassion, social responsibility, and the courage to transcend identity boundaries for the common good. This qualitative library research examines the narrative of Luke 10:25–37 by analyzing the key terms plēsion, esplanchnisthē, and eleos, and synthesizing these findings with studies on multicultural pedagogy, religious moderation, experiential learning, and Christian education. The findings reveal that the parable of the Good Samaritan is not merely a moral lesson about helping others but a radical critique of religiosity that remains at the level of knowledge without action. Jesus reconstructs the concept of “neighbor” from an identity-based category into an active expression of love that transcends ethnic, social, and religious boundaries. Philosophically, the passage reflects ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions that affirm human dignity, love as embodied knowledge, and compassion as the highest moral value. Consequently, Luke 10:25–37 provides a solid biblical foundation for a dialogical, reflective, transformative, and experience-based model of Christian Religious Education. Biblical philanthropy therefore serves as a pedagogical paradigm for developing faithful, compassionate, inclusive, and socially responsible students in a multicultural society.
Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Tes Soal dengan Tema Essen Und Trinken pada Media Easy Test Maker
This study aims to describe the process of developing test-based learning media on the topic of Essen und Trinken (Food and Drink) using the Easy Test Maker application, and to measure the outcomes of this development in A1-level German language learning. This research and development (R&D) study employed the Richey and Klein model, consisting of three stages: planning, production, and evaluation. The subjects were eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Model Medan. The data source consisted of vocabulary and sentence-structure material on the topic of Essen und Trinken, adapted from the textbook Netzwerk neu A1: Deutsch als Fremdsprache. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews with German teachers, pre-tests and post-tests, and expert validation of the material. The findings show that the development of Easy Test Maker-based media was successfully carried out through the three stages. In the evaluation stage, students' learning outcomes improved from the pre-test to the post-test on both multiple-choice and essay items. Qualitatively, students showed increased motivation, confidence, and engagement after using the media. It can be concluded that test-based learning media developed with Easy Test Maker is effective as an interactive evaluation alternative in German language learning, particularly on the topic of Essen und Trinken.
Pengaruh Media TikTok terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Historis dalam Pembelajaran Sejarah Berbasis Kurikulum Merdeka
This study aims to analyze the effect of TikTok media utilization on high school students’ historical thinking skills in history learning based on the Merdeka Curriculum. Historical thinking skills were measured through three components adapted from Seixas’ model, namely historical significance, continuity and change, and historical perspective. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The participants consisted of 63 tenth-grade students at SMA Batik 1 Surakarta selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using historical thinking skill tests administered before and after the treatment and were analyzed to identify differences between the experimental and control groups. The results indicate that the use of TikTok media has a positive effect on improving students’ historical thinking skills. TikTok encourages student engagement, facilitates the understanding of historical concepts, and promotes critical analysis of past events. Therefore, TikTok can serve as an effective alternative medium for history learning within the Merdeka Curriculum when content is systematically designed and aligned with appropriate pedagogical principles.

Each form has a distinctive illocutionary speech function, namely conveying arguments, presenting factual data, informing new knowledge, reinforcing statements with evidence, objectively reporting events, expressing fact-based appreciation, and asserting beliefs. These seven forms are closely related to expository text characteristics, making them applicable in expository text learning in junior high school in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum.
The Influence of Organizational Culture on Teachers Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is an essential factor influencing the quality of teaching, professional performance, and the achievement of educational goals. One factor that is believed to contribute to teachers' job satisfaction is the organizational culture established within the school environment. This study aims to examine the effect of organizational culture on teachers' job satisfaction among junior high school teachers in North Lampung Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. A total of 312 teachers were selected as the research sample using the cluster random sampling technique.

The study aimed to examine the planning, implementation, and improvement of students' learning outcomes through the use of card media in teaching fraction concepts. Data were collected through a pre-test to measure students' initial abilities, observation sheets to assess lesson planning, teacher performance, and student activities during the learning process, and a post-test to measure improvements in learning outcomes. The results showed a significant improvement in students' average scores, increasing from 53.02 before the intervention to 65.09 after the first cycle and 79.06 after the second cycle. In addition to improving learning outcomes, the use of card media also enhanced students' attitudes and behavior during the learning process. The findings suggest that card media can serve as an alternative instructional model that may be further developed for other learning materials and contribute to improving the quality of instruction as well as the professionalism of elementary school teachers.
Evaluasi Implementasi Kebijakan ASN dan Dampaknya terhadap Guru Honorer di Cirebon: Perspektif Engagement dan Trust
This study evaluates the implementation of Indonesia's Civil Service policy on the restructuring of honorary teachers through the Government Employees with Work Agreements scheme and its impact on honorary teachers in Cirebon. The study focuses on two psychosocial factors, namely work engagement and trust, because both factors shape the acceptance of public policies at the school level. A descriptive qualitative case study was conducted in 2025 through open and closed questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving approximately 150 honorary teachers, civil servant teachers, and school principals from ten junior high schools in Cirebon. The data were analysed using content analysis and simple descriptive statistics. The findings show that trust in the policy and teacher engagement in the implementation process were the most dominant factors. Most respondents perceived the PPPK selection process as insufficiently transparent, while teachers who received information, guidance, and support showed stronger engagement. The study proposes the ASN-Engagement-Trust Framework as a conceptual model for strengthening teacher participation, transparent communication, and fair policy implementation in local education governance.

This study aimed to determine the level of self-efficacy, career planning ability, and the relationship between self-efficacy and career planning ability among eleventh-grade students at MA Cahaya Insani Al Um. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The study involved 34 students selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results indicated that students' self-efficacy was generally at a moderate level (44%), while their career planning ability was also categorized as moderate (38%). The prerequisite tests confirmed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The Pearson correlation analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of r = 0.606 with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and career planning ability. These findings suggest that students with higher self-efficacy tend to demonstrate better career planning ability. Therefore, strengthening students' self-efficacy through guidance and counseling services is expected to enhance their readiness in making informed decisions regarding further education and future careers.
Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Sosial terhadap Prestasi Belajar Siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas
High school students are increasingly familiar with the digital world, particularly through various social media platforms they use in their daily lives. These activities are shaping new patterns of interaction in how they seek information, communicate, and complete school assignments. Social media also makes it easier to access learning resources and expand students' knowledge. However, on the other hand, excessive use can reduce their focus on studying by causing distractions. Therefore, social media significantly influences students’ behavior and academic achievement as an external factor in the learning process. While some students use it for academic purposes, others experience a decline in motivation and focus due to excessive use. This study is a literature review using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, aimed at synthesizing various research findings regarding the effect of social media use on high school students’ academic achievement. Data were obtained from articles, theses, and conference proceedings via Google Scholar, using inclusion criteria that encompassed quantitative studies discussing the intensity, purpose, and patterns of social media use among high school students. The findings indicate that social media use has a significant effect on academic achievement, both positive when used for academic purposes and negative when used excessively and without control.

However, several challenges remain, including students’ diverse characteristics, limited instructional time, the influence of social media and the surrounding environment, insufficient parental involvement, and inadequate supporting facilities. These findings demonstrate that history learning plays an important role in fostering students’ character through contextual and meaningful learning in line with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum.
Kepemimpinan Berbasis Nilai-Nilai Buddhis dalam Membangun Tata Kelola Lembaga Pendidikan yang Berkelanjutan
Contemporary governance of educational institutions faces dual pressures from the demands of managerial accountability and the need for a foundational value system capable of sustaining institutional longevity. Buddhist values namely mettā (loving-kindness), karuṇā (compassion), paññā (wisdom), sīla (morality), and sati (mindfulness) doctrinally offer a non-egocentric ethical framework relevant to the notion of sustainability, yet they are rarely explicitly positioned within mainstream educational governance literature. This study aims to synthesize the literature from 2020 to 2026 regarding Buddhist value-based leadership and its relevance to sustainable educational governance, employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology that follows the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Comprehensive searches across Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and DOAJ using combinations of Boolean operators yielded 17 verified, peer-reviewed journal articles that met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 7 Buddhist-specific articles and 10 comparative articles on spiritual and ethical leadership in education. Thematic synthesis indicates that sīla and paññā are the most extensively studied, whereas mettā is rarely analyzed as a standalone construct. Furthermore, Buddhist-specific studies tend to confine their focus to individual-level leadership, seldom extending to institutional governance. A dialogic gap was also identified, wherein Buddhist-specific literature and generic sustainable governance literature operate in parallel without cross-citation. Ultimately, this study formulates the conceptual model of "Buddhist Value-Based Leadership for Sustainable Educational Governance," which elucidates a four-layered mechanism translating a leader's internal values into institutional sustainability, while simultaneously offering a future research agenda to bridge these two distinct academic traditions.

The results showed that the mean score of the experimental class increased from 50.43 (pretest) to 92.43 (posttest), while the control class increased from 49.04 to 74.61. The paired sample t-test indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in both groups (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 < 0.05), with a larger mean difference in the experimental class (–42.000) than in the control class (–25.565). The metacognitive awareness questionnaire score also increased from 47.99 to 53.13. These findings indicate that the metacognition-based Inquiry learning model is more effective than conventional learning in improving elementary students' critical thinking skills in science learning.
Rekonstruksi Historis Pertumbuhan Hadis: Masa Nabi, Sahabat, dan Tabi'in
This article aims to reconstruct the historical growth and development of hadith across three formative periods of Islam: the era of the Prophet Muhammad, the era of the Companions, and the era of the Tabi'in. Hadith, as the second source of Islamic teaching after the Qur'an, requires a clear historical account to explain how its authenticity has been preserved across generations. This study employs a library research method with a descriptive-qualitative approach, examining relevant scholarly books and journal articles on the history and periodization of hadith. The findings show that the transmission of hadith developed gradually: during the Prophet's era it relied primarily on oral transmission and memorization without official codification; during the Companions' era, emphasis shifted toward strict verification and the emergence of early hadith learning centers across the expanding Islamic territories; while during the Tabi'in era, transmission became more systematic, marked by the beginning of structured recording and compilation of hadith. This continuity of transmission across generations forms the foundation for the preservation of hadith authenticity as a source of Islamic law. These findings imply that a historical understanding of hadith transmission is essential for students and researchers of Islamic studies in assessing the reliability of hadith literature.

Pengaruh Perceived Social Support dan Academic Stress pada Mahasiswa
This study aims to examine the effect of perceived social support on academic stress among active undergraduate students in Indonesia. The urgency of this research is driven by the high prevalence of academic stress resulting from complex curriculum demands, which often negatively impacts students' mental health. This research applied a quantitative approach using a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected from 1,062 active university students across Indonesia utilizing the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). Data were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis to test the relationship between variables. The results indicated that there was a significant negative effect of perceived social support on academic stress. However, the contribution of this effect was remarkably small, accounting for only 1.6% (). These findings imply that social support is not the primary determinant of students' academic stress, but rather a limited buffer. Consequently, internal factors such as independent learning and systematic workload management play a more dominant role in determining academic stress levels. Higher education institutions are advised to strengthen the academic advisors' role in providing structured technical support and learning strategies.
This study examines the relationship between tahfizh Al-Qur’an practices and the Living Al-Qur’an framework at Muhammadiyah Boarding School (MBS) Ki Bagus Hadikusumo, Jampang, Bogor. Living Al-Qur’an is understood as a phenomenon in which the Qur’an is not merely read but embedded into santri’s daily routines through sustained engagement that integrates classical sanad transmission with contemporary supporting tools. Using a qualitative field-research design, primary data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with caregivers, teachers, and santri, supplemented by documentation of school records, curricula, and memorization achievements, then analyzed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings show that tahfizh instruction proceeds through tahsin-tashih, ziyadah, and muraja’ah stages, supported by talaqqi-musyafahah, takrir-tikrar, sabaq-sabqi-manzil, and sima’i methods, all managed through disciplined time allocation and routine evaluation so that memorization targets remain achievable alongside a full national curriculum and extracurricular commitments. The study demonstrates that Living Al-Qur’an can thrive within a modern dual-curriculum boarding school, offering a replicable model and policy implications for inclusive Islamic education that balances religious depth with academic excellence.

Sosialisasi Pemahaman Peran Bimbingan dan Konseling bagi Guru BK dan Siswa di SMP Swasta IT YPIT Lubuk Cemara, Kecamatan Perbaungan
This community service program aimed to enhance the understanding of Guidance and Counseling (GC) teachers and students regarding the roles and functions of guidance and counseling services at SMP Swasta IT YPIT Lubuk Cemara, Perbaungan District. The program was initiated in response to the widespread misconception that guidance and counseling services are intended solely for students with disciplinary or behavioral problems, causing many students to hesitate to seek counseling voluntarily for personal development. The program employed a descriptive qualitative approach consisting of preparation, socialization, educational sessions, discussions, and question-and-answer activities involving GC teachers and eighth-grade students. Program evaluation was conducted through participant observation and in-depth interviews, with data analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that GC teachers possessed an adequate conceptual understanding of guidance and counseling services; however, their implementation remained constrained by limited time, facilities, and institutional policy support. Furthermore, students demonstrated improved understanding after participating in the program, as reflected in the reduced negative perceptions of counseling services and greater awareness of their preventive, developmental, and supportive functions. Therefore, continuous socialization is recommended to optimize the utilization of guidance and counseling services among all members of the school community.
