Once Sarci V. Faot — 2026-09-26

University students are at a developmental stage characterized by various academic, social, and personal demands that can impact their psychological state and well-being. Religiosity is one factor that can enhance psychological well-being. This study aims to determine the role of religiosity in improving the psychological well-being of university students. Religiosity is understood as the extent of an individual's engagement with religious beliefs, practices, experiences, and the internalization of religious teachings; meanwhile, psychological well-being refers to an individual's capacity for self-acceptance, building positive relationships with others, maintaining autonomy, managing their environment, possessing a sense of purpose in life, and developing their personal potential. This study employs a quantitative approach. Data collection utilized Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-Being and a religiosity scale. The study participants consisted of 50 fourth-semester students from the Pastoral Counseling study program at the State Christian Institute of Kupang (Institut Agama Kristen Negeri Kupang). Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression. The results demonstrate a positive and significant influence of religiosity on the students' psychological well-being (F = 13.257, p = 0.000, R-square = 0.216), indicating that religiosity contributes 21.6% to psychological well-being; thus, higher levels of religiosity are associated with improved psychological well-being among Pastoral Counseling students at the State Christian Institute of Kupang

This quantitative descriptive study, utilizing a survey method, aims to identify the internal and external factors influencing students' interest in selecting a university major. The study subjects consisted of 15 prospective students at Universitas 45 Mataram, selected from various study programs. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire administered via Google Forms. The results indicate that the decision-making process of prospective students is predominantly driven by external factors. The social environment emerged as the strongest determinant, led by peer influence (87%), followed by parental support and financial capacity (80% each). These findings highlight the high sensitivity of adolescents to family financial approval and group conformity. Conversely, regarding internal dimensions, the focus was primarily on future orientation (67%) and personal aspirations (60%). Aspects of personal capacity, such as talent and academic ability, ranked lowest, contributing equally (47%) to the decision. In conclusion, within the modern context, instrumental economic motives and social security have superseded talent-based interests; academic competence tends to be sidelined in favor of achieving financial security and future career stability

This study aims to apply Liveworksheet-based interactive Biology Student Worksheets (LKPD) to student learning motivation. This study is a quasi-experimental study that collects data from the results of student learning motivation questionnaires measured before and after the implementation of Liveworksheet-based interactive LKPD. The results show that the implementation of Liveworksheet-based interactive LKPD has a positive influence on student learning motivation. Based on data obtained from the student learning motivation questionnaire, there was a significant increase in the level of student learning motivation, from 54% (which is included in the less motivated category) to 87% (which is included in the highly motivated category). This study only focuses on increasing student learning motivation based on the learning motivation questionnaire. Therefore, further research can examine other aspects of student learning outcomes, such as conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and academic learning outcomes. Thus, a more comprehensive picture can be obtained regarding the effectiveness of Liveworksheet-based interactive LKPD in improving the quality of learning.

The Community-Based Integrated Child Protection Program (PATBM) is a government initiative aimed at preventing and addressing various forms of violence against children through active community participation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the PATBM Program in Waringin Kurung District using the policy implementation model developed by Cheema and Rondinelli, which includes environmental conditions, inter-organizational relationships, organizational resources, as well as the characteristics and capabilities of implementers. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, and the data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that the implementation of the PATBM Program in Waringin Kurung District has been carried out fairly well. Community environmental conditions support the implementation of the program through a high level of concern for child protection issues and active participation in socialization activities. Inter-organizational relationships are conducted in a coordinated manner through effective communication among related institutions. Organizational resources are considered adequate, particularly in terms of cadre involvement and institutional support, although limitations in budget allocation and supporting facilities still exist. Meanwhile, the characteristics and capabilities of implementers are considered adequate but not yet optimal due to the absence of specialized training for PATBM cadres. However, greater socialization efforts, strengthened cadre capacity, and increased resource support are still needed to optimize the implementation of the PATBM Program
