Psychological Capital and Academic Procrastination: The Mediating Role of Self-Regulated Learning among College Students
Get PDFAcademic procrastination has always posed a challenge in both offline and online learning environments. In order to mitigate delays in academic assignments, students need to adopt positive attitudes towards their academic life and actively regulate their learning process. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-regulated learning in the relationship between psychological capital and academic procrastination among college students. The study utilized the Academic Psychological Capital Questionnaire-12, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and the Academic Procrastination Scale. The findings, based on a sample of 207 college students from Indonesia, revealed that self-regulated learning fully mediated the link between psychological capital and academic procrastination. Moreover, further analysis indicated that the method of learning could differentiate levels of academic procrastination, while no significant difference was observed based on gender. This study offers valuable insights to students, lecturers, and other stakeholders in the field of education, emphasizing the significance of psychological capital and self-regulated learning in students' academic journey

Child Sexual Abuse History and Adult Promiscuity Among Female Filipino Survivors
Get PDFThis study explored the relationship of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) and Adult Promiscuity among Filipina CSA survivors. It took into account the narratives of four participants who shared their experiences about being sexually abused as children, how the events affected them in youth into adulthood, their coping mechanisms, the seasons in their lives spent in promiscuity, and where they are now. Results showed that these survivors engaged in risky sexual activities because they wanted some semblance of control over what happened, they were addicted to the system of the abuse, and they were led to believe the negative notions instilled on their minds by their abusers. They were dissatisfied about their sexual experiences. Further into the paper, it was revealed that three out of these survivors no longer live promiscuous lives—where they expressed dissatisfaction with—and are either in recovery or had recovered from CSA. Cultural implications were also examined, showing that the Philippines has a secret pandemic of CSA, that its conservativeness attaches shame to CSA survivors, and that spirituality as Filipinos have both negative and positive effects amongst the lives of participants. In essence, this paper aims to assist with solutions to psychological problems of sexual trauma and the societal consequences they entail.Keywords: trauma, abuse, promiscuity, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse and adult promiscuit

The Use of Technology at the Higher Education Level and Student Engagement: A Meta-Analysis
Get PDFStudent engagement is a recognized factor in higher education, and its importance in students' academic success has led to increased attention. While many studies have explored the impact of technology on student engagement, no meta-analysis studies have been conducted at the higher education level to the best of the researcher's knowledge. This study aims to critically evaluate the influence of technology on student engagement within the context of learning in Indonesia. A systematic review and assessment were conducted using seven databases and two search engines. This meta-analysis study includes 5 studies with 710 subjects. Although the 5 studies indicate that technology use can enhance student engagement, the results do not yield a common effect size. Furthermore, one study presents inconclusive findings. Therefore, further research is necessary to investigate this variable by implementing more appropriate research procedures.Keywords: technology use, meta-analysis, student engagement
Phubbing in Millennial Generation: Influence of Fear of Missing Out and Self Control
Get PDFMillennials were very familiar with the use of smartphones. Excessive use of smartphones could trigger the problem of phubbing behaviour that ignores the interlocutor by focusing more on accessing the applications on his smartphone rather than interacting directly with the individual in front of him.

The Early-Stage Development and Content Validity Examination of Ubaya Vocational Interest Inventory
Get PDFVocational interest alignment is the key for job seekers to successfully undertake training programs. However, the assessment tool under the context of the vocational system has not been available, specifically in the Employment and Transmigration Agency of the East Java Provincial Government in Indonesia. Therefore, this research aimed to develop an online assessment to measure the vocational interest of job seekers. It generated theories and items for the Ubaya Vocational Interest Inventory (UVII) and tested the content validity. The process of developing the construct of the UVII was conducted by reviewing the descriptions of job training programs in East Java Province. The examination of content validity involved 10 panelists, and the data were analyzed by the coefficient Aiken V. Based on the categorization of all training program reviewed, the results showed that there were 20 categories of vocations encompassing 4 clusters of interests, which were services, agriculture, arts, and engineering. There were 10 items developed for each category of vocational interest. The content validity examination found that 152, 32, and 16 items at 76%, 16%, and 8% were good (V>0.70), fairly good (V = 0.50 – 0.69), and poor (V<0.50), respectively. The findings indicated that most of the developed items represented the constructs measured. However, items in the fairly good category need to be revised, and those in the poor category should be changed with the new items.
