This study used quasi experiment design with control group with pre-test & post-test design. The instrument used in this study is the Indonesian version of the School of Empathy (SoE) module developed by Stueck et al. (2010) and the Emotional and Psychological Well-being Scale for Children adapted from The Stirling Children's Well-being Scale (Liddle & Carter, 2015). Data analysis used parametric statistic independent sample t-test. The results showed that children's well-being score between the experimental group (M = 32.71, SD = 3.904) and control group (M = 33.83, SD = 4.956); (t (11) =-0.456, p = 0.657), on the positive emotional state (t (11) =-0.540, p = 0.6) and positive outlook (t (11) =-0.305, p = 0.766). Effect size score of treatment (SoE training) on children's well-being (r = 0.136), positive emotional state (r = 0.160) and positive outlook (r = 0.091). The conclusion of this study is that no differences between the experimental group and the control group. SoE training has little effect on emotional and psychological well-being.

This study focus on how contextual teaching-learning (CTL), as one of learning method, can improve student engagement. Participants of this study were 156 college students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study was conducted with an experimental approach. Measurement of student engagement was done by using School Engagement Scale. This scale was adapted into Indonesia version, and it has Cronbach's Alpha coefficient 0.859 with 15 items. Result of data analysis showed that there was a significant difference on student engagement among college students (p=0.042), but student engagement scores in posttest was smaller than scores in pretest (N Negative Ranks = 83, Mean rank = 78.20; N Positive Rank = 64, Mean rank = 68.55; Ties = 9). Additional analysis was also discussed in this study.From this result, we can conclude that CTL not effective to improve student engagement among college students.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan uji keterbacaan modul terhadap modul TANZPRO-Biodanza yang dibuat oleh Stueck & Villegas pada tahun 1998. Modul asli diujicobakan pertama kali pada tahun 1998 oleh Stueck, Villegas, Schroder, Terren, Toro, Sack, Balzer, Mazarella, dan Toro. TANZPRO-Biodanza adalah bagian dari konsep School of Empathy, sebuah konsep yang mengintegrasikan tentang konsep komunikasi nonverbal dari Martha Rosenberg dan paradigma biosentris TANZPRO-Biodanza dari Rolando Toro. TANZPRO-Biodanza adalah sebuah pelatihan emosi yang memungkinkan para peserta untuk mengalami pentingnya emosi khususnya perasaan dan penggunaan emosi untuk mengelola diri. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain educational research and design Borg dan Gall (dalam Simoneau, 2007). Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 10 anak laki-laki dan perempuan berusia 9-10 tahun. Empat sesi TANZPRO-Biodanza diberikan kepada anak-anak, yaitu Spain, Egypt, Tanzania, dan China. Pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan wawancara. Hasil uji keterbacaan modul menunjukkan bahwa translasi bahasa termasuk dalam kategori baik (skor 75 -92.5 dari rentang skor penilaian 0 -100). Selain itu, sebagian besar sesi dapat diterapkan pada subjek anak-anak Indonesia. Namun masih ada sesi yang perlu disesuaikan dengan budaya Indonesia.
