Peran Ayah Jarak Jauh dalam Perkembangan Anak Usia Sekolah: Pendekatan Teori Pembelajaran Sosial Bandura

Harlinton Simanjuntak — 2025-10-22

Indonesian society generally believes that an ideal marriage should be complemented by the presence of children, creating the expectation of a complete family. However, the complexity of human psychological development is established early in life and continues to evolve, particularly when children enter school age. At this stage, the presence of the father is one of the key factors influencing children's psychosocial development. Unfortunately, in various situations, fathers are not always physically present in their children's lives due to work-related reasons or specific circumstances. This study aims to formulate strategies for distant fathers' involvement in the development of school-age children using Albert Bandura's social learning theory approach. The study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach through thematic analysis, examining Erikson's and Bandura's theories as well as relevant literature. The results of the study indicate that distant fathers can still play an active role as learning models for children through three main strategies: (1) intensive interaction and communication, (2) emotional validation and appreciation, and (3) teaching patience and empathy. In conclusion, despite physical separation, fathers can still build meaningful involvement through communication technology. These findings contribute significantly to enriching the scientific discourse on the role of fathers in parenting and can serve as a practical reference for Indonesian families facing similar realities.

Physiotherapy is a healthcare field focused on restoring, maintaining, and improving an individual's physical function through therapeutic exercises, body manipulation, and the use of medical equipment. The primary goals of physiotherapy are to reduce pain, improve mobility, correct posture, and restore bodily functions impaired due to injuries, neurological disorders, or other medical conditions. One condition that requires physiotherapy is cerebral palsy, a motor development disorder that affects movement and coordination. This study aims to determine the effect of physiotherapy on improving gross motor skills in children with cerebral palsy. The research employs an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study subjects consist of five children with cerebral palsy residing at Bhakti Luhur Orphanage in Surabaya. Data collection was carried out through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in gross motor skills after physiotherapy. The data analysis technique used inferential statistical t-tests, with results showing that tcount = 2.88 is greater than ttable = 2.132. Based on these results, Ho is rejected, and Ha is accepted, indicating a significant effect of physiotherapy on improving gross motor skills in children with cerebral palsy. This study emphasizes the crucial role of physiotherapy in helping children with cerebral palsy enhance their motor skills, positively impacting their quality of life and independence in daily activities. Therefore, physiotherapy should be part of a routine intervention for children with cerebral palsy to support optimal motor development.

Learning Goal Orientation Siswa Ditinjau dari Keterlibatan Orang Tua dan Dukungan Guru

Laurensius Laka — 2025-10-22

Efforts to enhance the quality of Indonesian human capital were primarily pursued through education. However, the Indonesian education system continued to face a range of interrelated challenges. Discussions concerning educational quality were often linked to external factors affecting students, whereas the quality of learning outcomes did not solely depend on such external influences, but was also shaped by various complex internal factors within the students themselves. This study aimed to analyse the influence of parental involvement and teacher support on the learning goal orientation (LGO) of students at SMPK Santa Maria II Malang. The research employed a survey method, characterised by selecting a sample from a single population and utilising a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The sample comprised 230 students out of a total population of 574. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software with multiple regression techniques. The results indicated that the correlation coefficient between the independent and dependent variables was 0.610, which could be interpreted as a strong relationship. In terms of causality, the simultaneous regression analysis yielded a significance value (Sig.F) of 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating that the regression model was suitable for predicting students’ LGO. Furthermore, the partial regression results demonstrated that both parental involvement and teacher support significantly affected students’ LGO, as evidenced by each variable’s Sig.t value of 0.001 (< 0.05). Therefore, it was concluded that the hypotheses – both simultaneous and partial – were all supported by the data.
