Efektivitas Experiential Learning dalam Meningkatkan Aspek Pribadi Sosial: Suatu Tinjauan Sistematis

Maria Magdalena Sri Utari Estiningdyah — 2026-05-19

This study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of the experiential learning approach in enhancing students’ personal–social aspects across various levels of education. The review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol, encompassing the processes of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion of relevant scientific articles. From a total of 38 articles identified, ten studies met the criteria for in-depth analysis. The synthesis results indicate that experiential learning is proven effective in improving students’ self-efficacy, empathy, emotion regulation, interpersonal communication, learning motivation, and positive social attitudes. This approach fosters reflective, participatory, and meaningful learning through direct experience, thereby strengthening the balance between personal and social aspects. The findings also reinforce the relevance of Kolb’s experiential learning theory (1984, 2015) and Bandura’s self-efficacy theory (1997) in the context of social–emotional development. Nevertheless, most studies still have methodological limitations, such as the absence of control groups and small sample sizes. Therefore, further research with stronger experimental designs and broader contexts, including digital and non-formal learning environments, is needed to strengthen the empirical evidence of the effectiveness of experiential learning in contemporary education.

Devani Chandra Aprila Atmaja — 2026-05-26

Overprotective parenting is defined as a parenting style characterized by excessive supervision, restrictions on children’s social activities, parental dominance in decision-making, excessive anxiety regarding children’s safety, and limited opportunities for children to develop independence. This study aims to (1) measure the level of overprotective parenting experienced by fifth- and sixth-grade students at Sang Timur Catholic Elementary School in Yogyakarta and (2) identify items on the overprotective parenting scale that obtained high scores as a basis for developing guidance and counseling service topics. This study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The participants consisted of the entire population of 84 fifth- and sixth-grade students. The instrument used was an overprotective parenting scale comprising 42 items based on five aspects proposed by Jiang. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions, percentages, and categorization of overprotective parenting levels. The results indicate that the majority of students perceive the overprotective parenting they experience to fall into the very low and low categories. A total of 41 students (49%) fell into the very low category, 34 students (40%) into the low category, 8 students (10%) into the moderate category, and 1 student (1%) into the very high category. Item-level analysis indicates that the majority of items fall into the very low (51%) and low (41%) categories. These findings suggest that parental caregiving tends not to be excessively overprotective but rather provide children with opportunities to develop independence and social competence. The results indicate can serve as a reference for schools and guidance and counseling teachers in developing preventive services that support children’s autonomy, self-confidence, and healthy psychosocial development in the future.

Tingkat Eksklusivitas Organisasi Kemahasiswaan di Universitas Sanata Dharma

Bhetrand Seoul Panroi Hasibuan — 2026-05-12

This study exam the level of organizational exclusivity within student organizations at Sanata Dharma University and identifies the dominant exclusivity indicators shaping students’ organizational experiences. Organizational exclusivity refers to both formal and informal mechanisms that restrict access to membership, information, leadership opportunities, and internal participation structures (Ashley & Empson, 2013). While student organizations are widely recognized as developmental spaces that enhance student engagement, leadership competence, and institutional belonging (Kahu & Nelson, 2018; O’Keeffe, 2019), selective recruitment systems, hierarchical dynamics, and social capital networks may generate unequal participation. A descriptive quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 135 undergraduate students who had actively participated in officially recognized student organizations for at least one year. Data were collected using a validated Organizational Exclusivity Scale consisting of 54 valid items (α = .908). Descriptive statistical analysis with theoretical categorization was applied. The findings indicate that exclusivity levels were predominantly low (55.56%) and very low (30.37%), with no respondents categorized as high or very high. These results suggest that student organizations at Sanata Dharma University operate within relatively inclusive and participatory structures, although relational social capital remains a subtle influencing factor. The study contributes empirical evidence to contemporary discussions on organizational inclusion, social closure, and student engagement in higher education contexts.

Perbedaan Tingkat Kepedulian Sosial Mahasiswa yang Aktif dan yang Tidak Aktif Mengikuti Organisasi pada Mahasiswa

Vania Prasetya — 2026-05-07

This study aims to examine differences in levels of social concern between students who are active and inactive in student organizations, as well as to describe levels of social concern and conduct item analysis of the scale as a basis for counseling services. This study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive-comparative design. The sample consisted of 110 students from the Guidance and Counseling Program at Sanata Dharma University from the 2023 and 2024 cohorts, selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument was a Likert-scale social concern measure that met validity criteria and had high reliability (α = 0.958). Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test because the data were not normally distributed.The results indicate that there is no significant difference in the level of social concern between students who are active in organizations and those who are not (p = 0.242). Descriptively, the majority of students in both groups fall into the high to very high categories. All scale items also fell into the high and very high categories, indicating that students’ levels of social concern were relatively uniform in the context of this study. Therefore, the implications of this study point toward efforts to maintain and strengthen the value of social concern through various learning activities and character development programs within the university environment.
