SISTEM PENDIDIKAN INKLUSI DAN INTERVENSI UMUM TERHADAP ANAK BERKEBUTUHAN KHUSUS
Education is a fundamental right of every citizen, including children with special needs, who require educational services tailored to their individual characteristics and needs. However, the implementation of inclusive education in Indonesia still faces various challenges, such as limited teacher understanding, inadequate facilities, and the lack of optimal integration between the education system and interventions provided. This study aims to analyze the education system for children with special needs and to examine general intervention strategies that support their development. The method used is a literature review by analyzing relevant scientific sources. The findings indicate that the education system for children with special needs has evolved from segregation to integration and inclusive models, although its implementation remains suboptimal. Furthermore, appropriate, planned, and individualized interventions play a crucial role in optimizing children’s academic, social, and independence development. Therefore, collaboration among policymakers, educators, families, and communities is essential to improve the quality of educational services and interventions for children with special needs.
ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN MEDIA E-BOOKLET BERBASIS MINDFULNESS UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN REGULASI EMOSI MARAH SISWA
This paper aims to analyze the need for developing a mindfulness-based e-booklet as an information tool for guidance services to improve students’ ability to regulate anger at SMP Nasional Makassar. This research was motivated by students’ low ability to recognize, understand, and manage anger adaptively, which impacts impulsive behavior, social interactions, and the learning process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach in the form of a needs assessment study, employing data analysis techniques such as in-depth interviews and observations with the research subjects, namely Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers and two ninth-grade students at SMP Nasional Makassar. The results indicate that most students still struggle to identify emotions, understand triggers of anger, and apply appropriate emotion management strategies. Furthermore, the guidance services provided at the school are still dominated by conventional methods and are not supported by engaging, interactive, and contextual learning materials. Based on these findings, there is a need for engaging, interactive, and contextual guidance media. Mindfulness-based e-booklets are considered a relevant solution because they are designed to assist students in a visual, simple, and easy-to-understand manner, while also encouraging active student engagement in the emotional learning process. These results show that the development of mindfulness-based e-booklets is important as an innovation in guidance and counseling services to support the improvement of junior high school students’ ability to regulate their anger.

PENGARUH SELF-COMPASSION DAN EMOTION REGULATION TERHADAP QUARTER LIFE CRISIS PADA MAHASISWA TINGKAT AKHIR
This study aims to examine the influence of self-compassion and emotion regulation on quarter-life crisis among final-year university students. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving a population of 1,347 students from the Faculty of Education and Psychology, Universitas Negeri Semarang, with a sample of 308 students selected through random sampling. The research instruments included the Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003) consisting of 26 items, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003) with 10 items, and the Quarter-Life Crisis Scale (Robbins & Wilner, 2001) with 26 items. Validity testing indicated that all items met the validity criteria, with item-total correlations ranging from 0.21 to 0.59 for the Self-Compassion Scale, all items on the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire confirmed as valid through confirmatory factor analysis, and correlations ranging from 0.264 to 0.682 for the Quarter-Life Crisis Scale (p < 0.05). Reliability testing showed Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.872, 0.790, and 0.854, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that self-compassion and emotion regulation had a significant effect on quarter-life crisis, accounting for 83.5% of the variance. Partially, self-compassion had a significant negative effect, expressive suppression had a significant positive effect, while cognitive reappraisal was not significant. These findings suggest that self-compassion serves as a protective factor, whereas less adaptive emotion regulation strategies increase the risk of quarter-life crisis. This study provides a basis for university counselors to develop interventions focusing on enhancing self-compassion and emotion regulation. Future research is recommended to examine additional factors beyond the variables investigated in this study.

KONDISI FATHERLESS SERTA REGULASI EMOSI REMAJA DI SEKOLAH MENENGAH ATAS NEGERI 2 LAIS
This study was motivated by the psychological and social conditions of adolescents at SMA Negeri 2 Lais who have grown up without the presence of a father figure. During adolescence, the absence of a father may affect the development of emotional regulation, causing students to experience difficulties in recognizing, managing, and controlling their emotions. This condition is characterized by excessive emotional reactions, difficulty controlling anger, a tendency to withdraw from social interactions, and decreased concentration in learning. The validity and reliability of the research instruments were tested using SPSS version 27.0. The reliability test results indicated high Cronbach's Alpha coefficients for both variables, namely 0.726 for the Fatherless variable and 0.938 for the Emotional Regulation variable, indicating that the instruments were reliable. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite testing (normality test), and simple linear regression analysis to test the research hypothesis. The normality test was conducted using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test at a significance level of 0.05 with SPSS version 27.0. The significance value obtained was 0.102 (> 0.05), indicating that the data met the assumption of normality. Correlation analysis was then performed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results showed a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.023 with a p-value of 0.827 (> 0.05). Therefore, the null hypothesis was accepted, indicating that there was no significant correlation between the Fatherless and Emotional Regulation variables. These findings suggest that although students may perceive the emotional support role of a father, the relationship between fatherlessness and emotional regulation is extremely weak, as reflected by the correlation coefficient (r = 0.023), which is very close to zero.

The findings indicate that addictive behavior is influenced by internal factors such as boredom and low self-control, as well as external factors including peer influence and easy access to digital devices. The implementation of the behavioural contract was conducted through behavioral agreements, clear goal setting, reinforcement, and continuous monitoring. This intervention showed positive behavioral changes, indicated by reduced gaming intensity and improved learning discipline. The findings imply that the behavioural contract technique is effective for school counselors as an intervention strategy to reduce online game addiction among students. This technique can promote positive behavioral changes and enhance students’ self-control and responsibility, making it applicable in school guidance and counseling services.
