Pengaruh Self-Reliance Dan Parental Involvement Terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa Sd Negeri Di Wilayah Perbatasan Nunukan
(2026-09-01) Armilawati
This study examined the effects of self-reliance and parental involvement on the learning outcomes of public elementary school students in the Nunukan border area. A quantitative correlational approach was used with 93 second-grade students of SD Negeri 003 Kecamatan Nunukan as the units of analysis. Self-reliance data were collected through a student questionnaire, parental involvement data through a parent or guardian questionnaire, and learning outcomes from official school academic records. Both instruments demonstrated very high reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.986 for self-reliance and 0.989 for parental involvement. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings showed that self-reliance did not have a statistically significant partial effect on learning outcomes, whereas parental involvement had a positive and significant effect. Together, self-reliance and parental involvement significantly predicted learning outcomes. The model explained 12.6% of the variance in learning outcomes, with parental involvement showing a stronger relative contribution than self-reliance. These findings underscore the importance of parental involvement and family-school partnerships while supporting the gradual development of students’ independence in accordance with their developmental stage.
Dari Hampa Menjadi Bermakna: Studi Fenomenologi Existential Emptiness Dan Meaning In Life Pada Ibu Rumah Tangga Muslimah
(2026-08-24) Andriyani, Avie
Not all women find meaning in married life. Some instead experience existential emptiness, which gives rise to a renewed search for meaning in life. This study aims to describe the experiences of existential emptiness and meaning in life among Muslim housewives. Although this phenomenon has been widely discussed in existential psychology, studies describing the subjective experiences of existential emptiness and meaning in life among Muslim housewives remain limited. This study employed a qualitative approach involving four Muslim housewives as participants selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected through semi structured in-depth interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a descriptive phenomenological approach to generate themes representing the participants' lived experiences. The findings revealed four major themes: the transition to the role of a housewife, existential emptiness, meaning in life, and religious coping. Experiences of existential emptiness were characterized by feelings of emptiness, loss of life direction, identity confusion, loneliness, boredom, and discrepancies between personal expectations and the realities of life. These experiences became points of reflection in the participants' process of rediscovering meaning in life through embracing their roles as wives and mothers, fostering family relationships, engaging in self-development, contributing to others, and strengthening their spiritual closeness to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Various forms of religious coping also became an integral part of the participants' process of confronting existential emptiness and reconstructing the meaning of their lives. This study demonstrates that existential emptiness is part of the lived experiences of Muslim housewives and may serve as a point of reflection in the process of discovering meaning in life. The findings enrich the field of Islamic psychology by advancing the understanding of existential emptiness and meaning in life among muslim housewives.
Emotional Vulnerability Pada Volunteer Komunitas Tarbiyatul Ummah (Kayama): Analisis Peran Regulasi Emosi Modern Dan Pendekatan Spiritual Islami
(2026-08-27) Afiatusshalihah, Heti
This study explores the lived experience structures of emotional vulnerability among female volunteers in the Tarbiyatul Ummah Community (KAYAMA). The core problem of this research is rooted in the high psychological burden induced by multiple role conflicts (domestic, professional, and dawah/da'wah), which trigger cognitive decompensation, neurotic anxiety, and the risk of mental burnout. The failure of conventional emotion regulation strategies, such as expressive suppression, frequently backfires, thereby exacerbating the volunteers' somatic burden. Consequently, this study aims to unveil the essence of the participants' experiences in managing this vulnerability through an analysis of the integrative roles of modern emotion regulation and Islamic spiritual approaches. A qualitative method utilizing Amedeo Giorgi’s Descriptive Phenomenological approach was employed. The participants consisted of four active female volunteers with a minimum of one year of service. Data were gathered through non-directive in-depth interviews and field notes, and subsequently analyzed through four systematic stages: apprehending the global sense of the text, establishing meaning units, transforming into psychological language, and synthesizing the essential structure. Bracketing (epoche) procedures were stringently implemented to safeguard the originality of the findings from the researcher's theoretical biases. The findings summarize four primary thematic clusters: (1) dual spatial distress, wherein the domestic domain triggers ego-depletion while the community functions as a restorative inner sanctuary; (2) somato-psychic reactivity as a physical manifestation of role strain; (3) cognitive-regulative transformation, where modern emotion management blends with Islamic spiritual mechanisms through the cultivation of "70 excuses" (70 udzur), muhasabah (introspection) of intent, and the logic of "hereafter accounting"; and (4) the attainment of theocentric ego-death and radical agency transposition that restores existential vitality into inner tranquility (thuma'ninah). This study concludes that the Islamic spiritual approach operates as an active, effective cognitive-spiritual emotion regulation strategy in fostering theocentric resilience among humanitarian workers.
Mental Agility Pemimpin Di Era BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) : Tinjauan Psikologi Islam
(2026-09-14) Khrisna, Luh Nyoman Lucy Indra Wulan
The BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, Incomprehensible) era is characterized by the phenomenon of many individuals experiencing anxiety due to ongoing uncertainty and fragile and ambiguous systems that exceed human ability to explain logically, making the impacts difficult to predict. This makes it difficult for leaders to make appropriate decisions and take appropriate actions, necessitating a leader with mental agility to deal with the situation. Supporting factors such as cognitive and emotional flexibility, which are key dimensions of mental agility, require effective stress management, enabling a leader to maintain emotional balance while remaining flexible in the face of pressure. Spiritual and religious beliefs provide a strong foundation for a leader to be resilient and remain optimistic, think positively, and actively seek solutions. By relying on Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala for every event, they remain calm amidst uncertainty, adapt easily, think flexibly, and find solutions. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the spiritual and religious functions (tawhid) and the influence of a leader’s talent in building mental agility in the BANI era, so that they are not only competent and intellectually intelligent (cognitive agility) and emotionally (mental resilience) but also be able to lead with their heart according to human nature who have full awareness as the caliph and servant of Allah. The qualitative phenomenological method was used in this research to examine the components that influence a leader's mental agility in dealing with the various consequences of the BANI era. Primary data was collected through in-depth interviews and behavioral event interviews to explore the deep meaning of subjective experiences from the participants, then the interview results were analyzed with interpretive analysis through interview data reduction to find the main ideas of the primary data and then given meaning. The results of the study illustrate how the influence of religious spirituality and leadership talent of the participants is quite significant even though not all aspects of religious spirituality and leadership talent were found, as some dimensions of mental agility have not been fulfilled in the subjects.
Pengaruh Kesadaran Penuh Berbasis Religiusitas dan Keterikatan Kerja terhadap Kinerja Guru pada SDIT Wildan Mamuju
(2026-09-05) Maharani
This study aimed to analyze the effect of religious mindfulness and work engagement on teacher performance at Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) Wildan, Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi. A quantitative explanatory design with a cross-sectional survey was employed, involving the entire population of 70 active teachers (total sampling). Religious mindfulness was measured using the FFMQ-39, work engagement using the UWES-9, and teacher performance using a standardized performance scale; data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), complemented by multiple regression analysis for the simultaneous test. The measurement model met the established criteria for convergent validity, discriminant validity, and reliability. Descriptive results showed that religious mindfulness, work engagement, and teacher performance were predominantly at a moderate level. Partial hypothesis testing showed that religious mindfulness had no significant effect on teacher performance (β = 0.158; t = 1.465; p = 0.143), while work engagement had a significant positive effect on teacher performance (β = 0.498; t = 5.642; p = 0.000). Simultaneous testing showed that religious mindfulness and work engagement together had a significant effect on teacher performance (F = 11.839; p = 0.000), explaining 31.0% of its variance (R² = 0.310).
