Sahat Parulian
Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam peran guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dalam membentuk akhlak mulia peserta didik melalui pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada… da fenomena degradasi moral di kalangan peserta didik yang menunjukkan perlunya penguatan pendidikan karakter berbasis nilai-nilai Islam. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis studi literatur (library research), yaitu dengan mengumpulkan dan menganalisis data dari berbagai sumber seperti buku, jurnal ilmiah, serta hasil penelitian terdahulu yang relevan. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis isi (content analysis) untuk memperoleh pemahaman yang komprehensif dan sistematis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru PAI memiliki peran strategis dan multidimensional, yaitu sebagai pendidik (educator), pembimbing (counselor), teladan (role model), motivator, serta evaluator dalam membentuk karakter peserta didik. Implementasi pembentukan akhlak mulia dilakukan melalui integrasi nilai-nilai Islam dalam proses pembelajaran, pemberian keteladanan, pembiasaan perilaku positif, serta penciptaan lingkungan pendidikan yang religius dan kondusif. Selain itu, keberhasilan pembentukan akhlak juga dipengaruhi oleh sinergi antara guru, keluarga, dan lingkungan sosial. Implikasi penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa penguatan peran guru PAI tidak hanya terbatas pada aspek kognitif, tetapi juga harus menyentuh aspek afektif dan psikomotorik peserta didik secara holistik. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan kompetensi guru PAI secara berkelanjutan agar mampu menjawab tantangan pendidikan karakter di era modern. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi rujukan dalam pengembangan kebijakan dan praktik pendidikan Islam yang berorientasi pada pembentukan akhlak mulia.

Kontribusi Kompetensi Dignostik dan Komunikasi Interpersonal Pelayanan Pastoral terhadap Sikap Beriman Kaum Muda dalam Gereja

Gerbin Tamba, Donald Loffie Muntu, Joseph H. Sianipar
Abstract: The pastor plays various important roles in the congregation, such as preacher, teacher, priest, administrator, and counselor. Among all these roles, the counselor holds the greatest responsibility. The task of pastoral… counseling includes providing emotional and spiritual support to the congregation. In addition to helping the congregation overcome emotional, mental, and spiritual issues, counseling also assists them in discovering their identity, life calling, and potential, so that they can develop holistically in life. Pastoral counseling is a form of interpersonal communication that requires the pastor to have good communication skills. The ability to build strong relationships with the congregation significantly influences their spiritual development. Additionally, empathy and compassion are qualities that pastors must possess to support their interpersonal skills. Diagnostic skills are also crucial for a pastoral counselor. With these skills, the counselor can identify the problems faced by the congregation and provide assistance or refer them for further treatment. Interpersonal skills help build open relationships, while diagnostic abilities are essential in identifying the root causes of the congregation's issues. In the diagnostic process, assessment and interpretation skills are vital to understanding the congregation's problems comprehensively—emotionally, mentally, socially, culturally, and spiritually—so that the solutions provided can be effective and accurate. Pastoral counseling plays a significant role in supporting the growth of faith and overall well-being of the congregation.

Fatma Maylasari Saqoti
Abstract: The advancement of digital technology has encouraged the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in online counseling services to enhance the accessibility and quality of mental health care. The emergence of AI through… chatbots, virtual counselors, and digital mental health platforms presents various opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications that require comprehensive examination. This study aims to analyze the opportunities offered by AI, the challenges associated with its implementation, and the ethical implications of its use in online counseling services. The study employed a literature review method with a qualitative approach, examining 15 scientific articles published between 2016 and 2026. Data were analyzed using content analysis through the synthesis of findings from previous studies. The results indicate that AI has the potential to expand access to counseling services, improve service efficiency, support preliminary assessments, and facilitate the delivery of more personalized and data-driven interventions. However, the use of AI continues to face several challenges, including limitations in understanding human emotions and social contexts, the risk of inaccurate responses, algorithmic bias, and the potential for user dependency on technology. The most prominent ethical concerns involve privacy protection, data security, algorithmic transparency, system accountability, and professional responsibility. This study concludes that AI is more appropriately positioned as a supportive tool or co-counselor for professional counselors rather than a replacement for human practitioners. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of the opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications of AI into a comprehensive analytical framework.

Abstract: The advancement of digital technology has accelerated the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in e-counseling services to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of psychological support. While offering numerous benefits,… nefits, the use of AI also presents challenges related to the quality of therapeutic relationships, privacy, data security, and ethical considerations. This study aims to analyze the role of AI, its impacts, and the ethical challenges emerging in e-counseling services through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach.

The implementation of AI contributes positively by increasing efficiency and accessibility; however, it remains limited in understanding emotions, demonstrating empathy, and comprehending clients’ psychological contexts. The findings also indicate that privacy, data security, algorithmic transparency, and accountability constitute the primary ethical challenges that require careful attention. This study concludes that AI is more appropriately positioned as a complement to counselors rather than a substitute for human counselors. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated analysis of the roles, impacts, and ethical challenges of AI within a single framework, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of the development of e-counseling based on collaborative interaction between technology and professional counselors.

Abstract: This study examines the utilization of digital technology in counseling services as a response to the transformation of mental health service demands that require flexibility, efficiency, and broad reach. The research problem… oblem focuses on the extent of e-counseling effectiveness, the level of service accessibility for the community, and the key challenges influencing its implementation. The study employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review method of 25 reputable scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The synthesis results indicate that e-counseling demonstrates a high level of effectiveness, reflected in service flexibility (92%), client openness (88%), cost efficiency (85%), satisfaction level (81%), and intervention success rate (76%), particularly for mild to moderate cases. The accessibility aspect also shows significant achievements, including ease of access (90%), expanded geographical reach (87%), and reduced social stigma (83%), thereby reinforcing the role of e-counseling as an inclusive alternative solution. Nevertheless, implementation still faces several challenges, such as limitations in nonverbal communication, data security risks, digital inequality, and low technological competence among counselors.

Amin, Muhammad, Supriyanto, Boby, Tamaza, Muhammad Abyanda, Asy’ari, Ilham, Fadillah, Riszki
Abstract: Student development includes conduct as a key component. Student behavior becomes crucial in deciding how successful students will be in different spheres of life. The variety of student behavior can hinder the learning&#8230; process and personal development of students. Through the development of an expert system-based counseling model based on backward chaining, this study seeks to discover trends in student behavior. The research process starts with problem analysis, goal setting, literature study, data collection, system design and implementation, and results analysis. It then moves on to counseling model development and implementation in the school setting. To determine the reasons for the unruly behavior of the kids, data were analyzed using a backward chaining methodology. UML Usecase diagrams are used in system design to define the roles of actors and users. The established counseling model, which consists of 14 behaviors, 67 phenomena/symptoms, and 14 rules, focuses on goals and methods to modify student behavior. Three students underwent system testing based on previously achieved goals from therapy. The findings revealed "Smoking," "Emotional Problems," and "Fighting" among the student behaviors. When the Backward Chaining-based counseling model is used, it is simpler for homeroom teachers to gather information about students' conduct from them and to offer remedies based on the transfer of professional knowledge without having to wait for the counselor guidance procedure
