Enhancing ideal personal qualities of counselor candidates: Empowering through digital module and peer modelling
Full text linkUniversities aim to achieve intelligent education through innovative learning methods. Students desire models to develop their skills, and this can be achieved through peer modelling with their peers. This research aims to develop a peer modelling-based digital module to enhance students' understanding of the Personality Development Practicum course, as an effort to improve the ideal personal qualities of prospective counselors. The research design uses the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects in this study are material experts (guidance and counseling lecturers), media experts (learning technology lecturers), and potential users (guidance and counseling students). The results show that the digital module is equipped with video explanations, PowerPoint, infographics, motion graphics, and peer modelling videos. Based on the validation results by material experts, media experts, and potential users, the digital module is considered valid in terms of accuracy, usefulness, attractiveness, and ease of use. Further empirical evidence is needed to support the use of the peer modelling-based digital module in developing the ideal personal qualities of prospective counselors
Developing the Adolescent Career Success Instrument (ACSI): A Rasch Model analysis
Full text linkCareer success is an individual's ability to achieve self and work success. There are various instruments to determine individual career success. However, there has not been a career success instrument specifically developed for adolescents. This study aims to develop and validate The Adolescent Career Success Instrument (ACSI) using the Rasch model analysis. Participants in this study consisted of 3 guidance and counseling experts for the constructed test, 4 students for the readability test, and 106 students (33 male students and 73 female students) from high school for the empirical test. ACSI reliability test results show that the item reliability is 0.90 in a good category, while the personal reliability is 0.85 in a good category. Cronbach's alpha value is 0.91 in the very good category. The results of the ACSI analysis using the Rasch model showed that 49 reliable items could be used to measure adolescent career success
Metacognitive Awareness in Engineering Students: SEM Analysis of Self-regulated Learning, Self Efficacy, and Learning Motivation
Full text linkThis study aims to explore the impact of self-regulated learning, self efficacy, and learning motivation on the metacognitive awareness of engineering students at the university level. A total of 358 students participated in the research, selected through purposive sampling. The participants had completed at least one semester of coursework, ensuring they had enough academic experience to reliably assess the study variables. Data was gathered via a survey and examined using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the SmartPLS 3 software. Findings reveal that, in direct effect analysis, self-regulated learning and self efficacy do not significantly influence metacognitive awareness, whereas learning motivation does. However, in indirect effect analysis, both of them exert a significant impact on metacognitive awareness through the moderating role of learning motivation. These results suggest that self-regulated learning and self efficacy are not enough to spark awareness of one’s own thinking processes, motivation contributes importantly to this relationship
