2024-12-02T19:10:50+07:00

The literacy level of Indonesian students, as reported by PISA in 2018 and 2022, is considered low, falling below international standards. This situation contributes to learning difficulties and an increased risk of school dropouts. This study aims to analyze the role of story-stage-based guidance and counseling in enhancing the literacy culture in elementary schools. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing literature reviews and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that literacy is a fundamental element for students' personal development, both academically and socially, involving the acquisition and application of knowledge. Holistic guidance and counseling efforts are tailored to meet student's needs and are provided through counseling services. The story-stage method has proven to be an innovative and effective way to increase students' interest in literacy. It is recommended that this method be implemented in counseling services to strengthen the literacy culture in schools. Future research should focus on implementing and evaluating its effectiveness in broader educational contexts.

Modern marriages are faced with complex challenges, such as changing social values, economic pressures, hampered communication, and mental unpreparedness. Premarital guidance is a strategic solution in preparing couples to live a harmonious and sustainable married life. This article aims to analyze literature related to premarital guidance programs, especially in responding to the challenges of modern marriage. Based on a literature review, an effective premarital guidance program includes a holistic approach that involves spiritual, emotional, financial, and communication aspects. Additionally, the integration of technology, such as online courses and interactive applications, has been shown to increase program accessibility and appeal. A religious values-based approach, especially in the context of the sakinah family, also makes a significant contribution to building a deeper understanding of the purpose of marriage. Recommendations for program development include adaptation to the socio-cultural context, use of interactive media, involvement of multidisciplinary professionals, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. With a comprehensive approach, premarital guidance can be a strong foundation for overcoming the challenges of modern marriage while creating a harmonious and stable family.
