Trends and Research Implications of Guidance and Counseling Services in Indonesia From 2010 to 2020: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal data on the trend of research publications on guidance and counseling services and their implications for the development of research and guidance and counseling services in the future. The method used is the bibliographical analysis by taking data from the Google Scholar database as the most popular indexer in Indonesia. The results found 962 publications of research results on guidance and counseling services. The most productive place for publication in producing research on guidance and counseling services is “Jurnal BK UNESA” with a total of 28 articles. The “Jurnal Bimbingan dan Konseling Indonesia” is most impact journal with H-Index: 24. The publication of Kadek Suhardita’s research results is the most referenced document with 95 citations, and Bahruddin Al Habsy is the researcher for guidance and counseling services with the most citations with a total of 163 citations. Counseling with models and techniques from the behavioristic approach is the most familiar among Indonesian researchers with 70 publications. The findings in the article mapping show that it is still possible for contextualization and integration between western counseling theory, especially developmental counseling within the scope and study of Indonesian culture, to be local wisdom, cultural perceptions to integrate with religious values (especially Islam as the majority religion). In addition, it is strongly encouraged to collaborate with researchers across institutions, cultures, and religious values because the results of this research map show that researchers are still working partially in their respective institutions, cultures, and religions.

Bibliometric study: Trends in multicultural counselling competence research in Indonesia, 2013–2022, and its implications

“…Research on multicultural counselling competence that encompasses various cultures in Indonesia is an important part of developing research on multicultural counselling competence in the country. According to Zamroni et al (2022), as a country with cultural pluralism, Indonesian counsellors are likely to encounter cultural differences between themselves and their clients. The unpreparedness to interact with different cultures can lead to cultural encapsulation in counsellors, which can have a detrimental impact on the counselling process (Heslop et al, 2018).…”

“…The need to promote a more culturally sensitive multicultural counselling competence in Indonesia is also necessary to complement the suggestion made by Zamroni et al (2022) that Indonesian researchers should provide counselling services in line with the beliefs of the majority population in Indonesia, namely the majority of citizens who adhere to Islam. This is particularly important for an Islamic approach to Muslim clients.…”

“…This applies to both counsellors and clients. However, this understanding does not imply a stereotypical view, but rather an effort to manage cultural differences, not just within a single culture (monoculture) but also within a multicultural or multiculturally diverse context during counselling activities (Zamroni et al, 2022). Counsellors facing these multicultural phenomena are expected to be open-minded, curious and willing to learn about different cultures, particularly those brought by clients from their own environments (Masturi, 2015).…”

Internalization of Religious and Cultural Values as Career Guidance Content for Urban and Rural Muslim Students’

“…Studies on issues related to career development, namely demographic bonus, gender, economic inequality, and state policies in the field of financing the education system are relatively high, the feasibility of the education system itself is an inhibiting factor for students' career development (Zhukova et al, 2022). This research is motivated by the problem of the crisis in the career identity of rural and urban students, which shows that students have not maximized their career direction after graduation (Rizal et al, 2021).…”

“…Contextualization of Indonesian cultural studies should be integrated with religious values (especially Islam as the majority religion). In addition, it is highly recommended to collaborate with researchers across institutions, cultures, and religious values (Zamroni et al, 2022).…”
