THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: TRENDS, IMPACTS, AND FUTURE CHALLENGES
This study maps the global research landscape concerning higher education commercialization. Driven by economic globalization and reduced public funding, universities have progressively transitioned from societal public goods to competitive commercial services. Despite extensive qualitative evaluations on this institutional shift, the domain's intellectual architecture remains fragmented. To bridge this analytical gap, a hybrid methodology was executed, integrating a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) via the PRISMA protocol and bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer. Based on 136 core Scopus articles (1985–2024), the historical trajectory is classified into three evolutionary phases: Initiation (1985–2002), Acceleration (2003–2014), and Maturation (2015–2024). Actor mapping identifies Wu, W. as the most productive author, the University of Tehran and Moscow Aviation Institute as leading institutions, and the United States and United Kingdom as the dominant contributing nations. Spatial network analysis highlights a dense, collaborative UK-European axis, while the US acts as a macro-structural bridge to Eastern research hubs. Keyword co-occurrence clustering reveals "higher education" (n = 72) and "commercialization" (n = 54) as central nodes with strong structural proximity to technology transfer and innovation networks. The synthesis reveals that future governance must navigate critical challenges regarding marketization pressures, technology transfer regulation, and socio-economic access barriers. Ultimately, this research outlines emerging thematic directions toward institutional entrepreneurship, administrative decentralization, and tripartite co-regulatory research and development (R&D) alliances, offering strategic structural insights for policymakers balancing commercial pragmatism with public good values.

RECONSTRUCTION OF GORONTALO CUSTOMARY ECOPHILOSOPHY: CRITIQUE OF DEVELOPMENT ANTHROPOCENTRISM AND REVITALIZATION OF LOCAL WISDOM IN ECOLOGICAL DISASTER MITIGATION
The ongoing environmental crisis, characterized by an increasing frequency of hydro-meteorological disasters and massive land conversion in Gorontalo, indicates a fundamental failure of the development paradigm dominated by instrumental anthropocentrism. This ethic ontologically reduces nature to an object of exploitation, contradicting the principles of sustainability. This research aims to philosophically examine the ethical framework of Gorontalo’s indigenous wisdom as an alternative for ecological disaster mitigation and to reconstruct an ethical relationship between humans and forests. Using a qualitative method with a critical philosophical analysis approach and a comparative literature study against empirical disaster data in Gorontalo, it was found that Gorontalo’s Indigenous Environmental Philosophy is based on Theocentrism as encapsulated in the Adati Hula-hula'a To Sara'a philosophy. This concept positions humans as Khalifah (trustees) who are obligated to maintain mizan (ecological balance), rejecting the claims of absolute ownership central to Anthropocentrism. . Indigenous wisdom, such as the Molapo tradition and the Payu Limo lo Lipu principle, functionally represent a form of Practical Ecocentrism that provides moral boundaries (an ethic of self-restraint) and customary spatial regulation. The failure of disaster mitigation in Gorontalo stems from ethical decadence and the abandonment of customary authority for short-term economic interests. Therefore, this study recommends the philosophical reconstruction of regional policies by integrating the Indigenous Theocentric Ethic as the ontological basis for regulation. Revitalization of customary authority to enforce Molapo is necessary to restore the integrity of the upstream ecosystem and achieve sustainable, culturally-based disaster mitigation.

INTEGRATION OF HANDLING ACTS OF CORRUPTION AT THE CIVIL SERVANT LEVEL (STATE CIVIL APPARATUS) WITHIN THE BONE BOLANGO DISTRICT GOVERNMENT
Analysis of the implementation of anti-corruption policies within the Bone Bolango Regency government, especially at the Bappeda Litbang and Inspectorate, based on the results of the research shows that there are already anti-corruption policies such as those related to the ASN code of ethics, integrity pacts and action plans but their implementation is not optimal, this can be seen from the low awareness of ASN of the risks of corruption, as well as the occurrence of ethical violations and corrupt acts, perhaps one of the main obstacles includes a permissive bureaucratic culture. In this case, the Inspectorate as supervision has carried out its system through internal audits, but is still constrained by limited human resources, budget and follow-up on audit results. Collaborative efforts with external institutions have also been carried out, such as with BPK and KPK, in the form of coordination and anti-corruption education. From the results of the research, it can be concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of anti-corruption policies by conducting regular socialization, training/guidance, increasing human resources in this case, especially certified auditors, and implementing a secure and integrated reporting system. The application of sanctions that must run effectively and a culture of integrity that can start from the leadership are key in preventing acts of corruption. Strengthening collaboration between oversight institutions and periodic evaluation of policy implementation also need to be considered to support the development of clean and integrated governance.

Crafting A Stronger Workforce: An Exploration of Mindset, Personality, and Stress For A Work Resiliency Framework at Bataan Peninsula State University
High performance standards in the dynamic academic environment often trigger stress and burnout, threatening even the most resilient educators. This study examines the determinants of work resiliency among 149 faculty members at Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) to design a robust institutional framework. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design with Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the research evaluates the interplay between mindset, personality traits, and stress levels. Findings demonstrate that mindset ( β = 0.313, p < .001), personality (β = 0.111, p = .013), and stress (β = -0.26, p = .002) significantly predict resiliency. Notably, stress serves as a crucial mediator in the relationship between mindset and work resiliency (β = 0.327, p < .001), suggesting that a growth-oriented mindset mitigates the negative impact of workplace pressures. Based on these empirical results, a Work Resiliency Framework is proposed, integrating strategic interventions to cultivate growth mindsets, reinforce positive personality traits, and implement systematic stress management. This framework serves as a strategic blueprint for academic institutions to sustain faculty well-being and professional excellence amidst evolving educational demands.

PERAN GURU MENGINTERNALISASI NILAI KEJUJURAN DAN INTEGRITAS SISWA DI SLBN KAB. GORONTALO
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis peran guru sebagai living model dalam menginternalisasikan nilai kejujuran dan integritas melalui mekanisme hidden curriculum pada siswa hambatan intelektual (tunagrahita) di SLBN Kabupaten Gorontalo. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif desain studi kasus deskriptif, penelitian ini menggali perspektif dan pengalaman empiris pendidik secara alamiah. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur bersama informan kunci dan observasi partisipatif pasif untuk mengamati interaksi harian di kelas. Analisis data dilakukan secara induktif melalui transkripsi lisan, pengodean, reduksi, dan kategorisasi, serta diuji keabsahannya menggunakan triangulasi sumber dan metode. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa internalisasi konsep moral abstrak bagi siswa tunagrahita tidak dapat bersandar pada instruksi verbal, melainkan menuntut pemenuhan komitmen nyata yang konsisten dari guru sebagai living model guna membangun kepercayaan siswa. Mekanisme hidden curriculum terbukti efektif menjadi media transmisi nilai di mana pendekatan persuasif yang mengapresiasi kejujuran saat terjadi pelanggaran minor terbukti mampu merangsang perilaku moral organik siswa dalam iklim kelas yang aman. Kendati demikian, proses ini menghadapi tantangan kognitif siswa yang memerlukan pengulangan instruksi konstan serta tantangan institusional berupa kesenjangan kompetensi di antara 34 guru dalam mengelola 111 siswa yang beragam. Disimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan pendidikan karakter di Sekolah Luar Biasa sangat bergantung pada integritas kolektif dan konsistensi perilaku para pendidik dibandingkan dokumen kurikulum tertulis. Implikasi institusionalnya menuntut adanya program pelatihan berkelanjutan bagi guru mengenai metodologi pengajaran karakter anak berkebutuhan khusus demi menjaga efektivitas pembelajaran.

THE INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL LIFE DEVELOPMENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL DURING ADOLESCENCE
Individual personal life is a life that is whole and complete and has special or unique characteristics. A person's personal life involves various aspects, including emotional, social-psychological, socio-cultural, and intellectual abilities which are integrated in an integrative manner with the environmental factors of his life. At the beginning of life, in order to lead to a more mature pattern of personal life, individuals will strive to live independently, in the sense of being able to take care of themselves by managing and meeting their needs and carrying out their daily duties and responsibilities. For this reason, it is necessary to have the ability to master situations in the face of various stimuli that can disrupt personal stability. In addition, in personal life harmony between physical and non-physical needs is needed. Physical needs, for example someone needs to breathe freely, need to eat well, drink enough, enjoyment, happiness, security, and so on. With regard to the socio-psychological aspect, every person needs the ability to master his attitudes and emotions as well as a means of communication to socialize. This is seen as a whole and complete in the form of steady behavior and actions. Thus the problem of personal life is a form of integration between physical, socio-cultural and psychological factors. An individual also needs recognition from other parties about his self-esteem, both from his own family and from society in

IDENTIFYING THE COMMUNICATION NEEDS OF TEACHERS IN NORTH GORONTALO SPECIAL EDUCATION SCHOOLS FOR STUDENTS WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS
Children with special needs, particularly those with hearing impairments, require highly specialized educational environments that adapt to their unique linguistic and physiological profiles. Effective instructional delivery in these settings depends heavily on the communication efficacy of educators. This qualitative case study aimed to identify and describe the comprehensive communication needs of special education teachers in North Gorontalo. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation analysis involving active special education teachers. The thematic content analysis revealed that teachers face severe pedagogical barriers due to the lack of subject-specific standardized sign language codes and a lack of advanced professional training, which often forces lessons into passive, one-way interactions. To address these gaps, educators explicitly identified the need for continuous in-service linguistic training, the collaborative development of technical sign lexicons, and the deployment of digital assistive technologies, alongside functional audiometric equipment. Furthermore, the findings indicate that school-based learning communities (Kombel) and structured parental collaboration are vital to reinforcing alternative communication methods and enhancing students' social participation. This study provides an empirical foundation for curriculum planners to design targeted interventions that directly support special education classrooms.

DINAMIKA FAKTOR LINGKUNGAN DAN TRAUMA DALAM PEMBENTUKAN KELEKATAN ANAK USIA DINI: STUDI KEPUSTAKAAN PERSPEKTIF BOWLBY
Perilaku kelekatan (attachment) pada anak usia dini merupakan fondasi krusial yang menentukan trajektori perkembangan psikologis individu sepanjang hayat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi tahapan perkembangan kronologis kelekatan berdasarkan perspektif John Bowlby, mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor inti yang memengaruhinya, serta menganalisis dampak jangka panjangnya terhadap aspek sosial, emosional, kognitif, dan hubungan interpersonal di masa dewasa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan (literature review) dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif. Sumber data diperoleh dari basis data jurnal bereputasi seperti Scopus, ScienceDirect, dan Google Scholar dalam rentang tahun 2018 hingga 2024. Teknik analisis data dilakukan secara tematik melalui tahapan reduksi, kategorisasi, dan sintesis literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan kelekatan berlangsung secara kronologis, bertransformasi dari respons biologis non-selektif menjadi skema kognitif internal yang mapan berupa Internal Working Models (IWMs). Pembentukan pola kelekatan ini dipengaruhi oleh tiga faktor determinan utama, yaitu kualitas interaksi pengasuh yang responsif, stabilitas lingkungan keluarga, serta paparan trauma masa kecil. Lebih lanjut, analisis menemukan bahwa kualitas kelekatan usia dini memberikan implikasi mendalam yang menetap hingga masa dewasa, yang secara signifikan memengaruhi kematangan regulasi emosi, kapasitas fungsi kognitif eksekutif, dan pola membangun kepercayaan dalam hubungan interpersonal. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa intervensi dini yang berfokus pada peningkatan sensitivitas pengasuh dan mitigasi trauma sangat krusial untuk membangun resiliensi anak lintas generasi.

ENHANCING TEACHER SELF-EFFICACY IN SEL: INSIGHTS FROM A SCOPING REVIEW
This scoping review explores the individual and contextual factors that enable teacher self-efficacy for implementing social and emotional learning (SEL) programs in K-12 classrooms. Guided by Bandura's social cognitive theory, the review synthesizes evidence from 10 studies published between 2009 and 2023. Key themes emerged related to professional development and training, teacher characteristics and experience, school climate and leadership support, comfort with SEL practices, teacher-student relationships, SEL competencies and beliefs, and the influence of socio-cultural factors. The findings are organized into a proposed framework categorizing enablers of teacher self-efficacy into personal factors (e.g., social-emotional competence), behavioral factors (e.g., modeling SEL skills), and environmental factors (e.g., access to resources). The review highlights the multidimensional nature of teacher self-efficacy in SEL contexts and suggests that a comprehensive approach addressing multiple levels of influence is needed to create enabling environments. Implications for practice include providing high-quality training, fostering supportive school climates, and investing in teachers' personal development. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.

MENTAL HEALTH STATUS OF BPSU STUDENTS: BASIS FOR ENHANCED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed method design to investigate the mental health status of students at Bataan Peninsula State University Philippines, focusing on the emotional, cognitive, social, and meaning and purpose dimensions. Additionally, an evaluation of the university's current mental health program was conducted to identify its shortcomings and potential areas for enhancement. Utilizing a standardized and validated questionnaire alongside a focused group discussion, the findings indicate that a majority of students exhibit a high level of positive mental health. Overall, students rated the performance of the Guidance and Counseling Services in implementing their Mental Health Program as satisfactory in meeting their expectations. The highest mean rating was attributed to the promotion of positive mental health, whereas the lowest was related to the effective development, coordination, and administration of the Mental Health Program. Furthermore, significant associations were found between students' profiles—such as sex, birth order, number of siblings, parent's income, and program—and their mental health status concerning the meaning and purpose dimension. Additionally, classifications based on student status, year level, and disability were significantly linked to overall mental health. These associations were consistent across all mental health areas: emotional, cognitive, social, and meaning and purpose. However, when analyzing overall mental health mean ratings by age, gender, religion, address classification, parents’ marital status, and campus, no substantial differences were observed, indicating that no significant relationships can be inferred.

BACK TO SCHOOL: STUDENTS’ WILLINGNESS TO ATTEND FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES IN THE NEW NORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEM
This research sought to find the level of students' willingness to attend face-to-face classes in the new normal education system. The respondents of this study were 1,551 students of BPSU during the academic year 2021-2022. This study is quantitative research; thus, it uses a descriptive method of research design and fact-finding inquiry to assess and explain the relationship between the respondents' profiles and their willingness to attend face-to-face classes. Since this study was conducted during the pandemic, the researcher used Google Forms to gather data. The results of this study showed that students are much more willing to attend face-to-face classes in the new normal education system. There is a significant relationship between respondents' profiles in terms of COVID-19 vaccination, health comorbidities, experience in online classes, self-test anxiety, and their willingness to attend face-to-face classes in the new normal education system. Academic leaders would do well to understand student decisions, and their humanistic learnings must be judged concerning students' possession of the interests and beliefs that the respective academics in new normal environments seek to reinforce and reward at the time students enter face-to-face classes in the new normal education system.

FACULTY MEMBERS’ TECHNOLOGICAL PROFICIENCY, SUPPORT AND OBSTACLES
The advent of flexible online learning because of the pandemic has challenged Higher Education Institutions to think of innovative, creative, and effective ways to deliver lessons online. Video-based learning modules have become necessary for faculty members to deliver their online classes. With this, the researchers assessed the technological proficiency, support, and obstacles of the Department of Arts and Sciences (DOAS) faculty in producing these instructional videos. Through a survey administered among the participants from different subject clusters of the department, findings showed that most respondents are proficient in operating a camera and can execute various camera shots, angles, and movements. However, they are not well-versed in the concept of camera exposure which could improve footage quality. Respondents are also proficient in editing their instructional videos by adding music, voice-over, texts, and sound effects. There is little training experienced in making instructional videos as respondents claimed, although they have access to technology which allows them to create such videos. Respondents are divided in receiving further training; some expressed a positive attitude towards it while the others saw obstacles such as the availability of gadgets and software, time amidst their full-time work, and being new to concepts on videography. Researchers recommended a video-based learning module that allows for flexible learning among the faculty members to further improve instructional videos given the constraints expressed.
CARING EXPERIENCES OF NURSES AND ELDERLY HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS : BASIS FOR MODULAR DEVELOPMENT ON PATIENT’S CARE AND EDUCATION
This phenomenological research study unveiled the meaning of caring experience between the nurse and elderly patient in the hemodialysis treatment setting using Schoenhofer's research-as-praxis methodological process. Using this method, the researchers conducted a dialogue that involved the presence of both participants at the same time to explore on: (1) the experiences of both nurse and elderly hemodialysis patients while undergoing hemodialysis treatment; and (2) how the concerns of elderly HD patients being addressed. Data from the twelve (12) participants were analyzed using QDA Miner Lite, and thematic three-phase analysis was done. The experiences of elderly HD patients were thematically described as care in reminders and restrictions, center as community of support, importance of family care and support, and multifaceted approach to dialysis treatment. Likewise, the experiences of nurses were described as they care for their HD patients, such as heart as the core of care, exhausted but fulfilled, and patience in communicating with patients and relatives. From the explored experiences of both nurse- and patient-participants, four (4) themes were created that answered the concerns of elderly HD patients and these include: resistance and forgetfulness require collaborative and consistent support, financial cost of dialysis is a challenge, patients find comfort in the center’s community to combat fear and loneliness, and living up to patient’s confidence is a continuous challenge. Though findings revealed that elderly HD patients require constant reminder in restricting fluid and dietary intake, they still find nurse’s behavior as a genuine manifestation of care and discipline. Nurses, on the other hand, are aware that elderly HD patients are becoming resistant and forgetful, thus, they require more attention and special care. It can be concluded that the caring relationship that is built between the nurse- and patient-participants is comparable to that of a family. The researchers recommend collaborative efforts between the college and hemodialysis centers/institutions for the conceptualization of various programs that could help the hemodialysis patients such as: creation of modules, infographic materials like comics and leaflets, to basically explain the importance of adhering to treatment and fluid restriction and depict real-life scenarios in a hemodialysis setting. Likewise, a video collection of interviews of various HD patients on their real-life experiences as they share their own treatment journey, and spiritual and mental health programs thru seminars and talks, to motivate and further boost patient’s morale and spirit.
CHALLENGES AND ADJUSTMENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER-MOTHERS MANAGING YOUNG CHILDREN WHILE WORKING FROM HOME
The COVID-19 pandemic brought great changes to teaching practices, particularly for secondary school teacher-mothers balancing online instruction and childcare. This study explores the lived experiences of teacher-mothers in the Philippines during the pandemic, denoting the challenges of managing their dual roles. The central focus is on how these women coped with the tension between professional duties and motherhood, especially when both roles demand attention simultaneously. Using narrative analysis of interviews with 16 teacher-mothers of young children, the research identifies four key themes: professional and parental challenges, coping strategies, personal well-being, and the need for support. These themes reveal the complexity of their experiences, including the emotional and logistical strain of fulfilling both roles during a crisis. The study’s findings suggest that policymakers and educational institutions must prioritize the well-being of teacher-mothers by implementing supportive measures such as reasonable work arrangements and access to childcare. While limited to one Philippine province, this research offers critical insights into the unique pressures faced by teacher-mothers and notes the importance of addressing their needs for a more equitable educational system. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of the pandemic on teacher-mothers and evaluate the effectiveness of support systems introduced during this time.

EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IN ADOLESCENTS
This study discusses emotional development and language development in adolescents. Emotional and language development in adolescents are two important aspects in this challenging phase of life. Teenagers experience major physical, cognitive and social changes that affect the way they think, feel and interact with the world around them. At this stage, emotion and language serve as the main tools for adolescents to understand themselves, express themselves, and build relationships with others. Emotional and language development in adolescents are interconnected and influence each other. Language plays an important role in the expression of emotions. With words, youth can describe their feelings to others, seek support, or explain what they are experiencing. Conversely, the emotions experienced by adolescents can also affect their ability to use language. When strong emotions are felt, it can be difficult for teens to express themselves clearly and logically. Therefore, it is important for adolescents, parents and educators to understand and support emotional and language development in adolescents. By providing a safe and supportive environment and opportunities to practice speaking and listening, we can help youth develop healthy and effective emotional and language skills. In this way, adolescents can learn to manage their emotions well, communicate effectively, and build meaningful relationships with others during this important transition. This study uses a qualitative research method that aims to explain a phenomenon in depth and is carried out by collecting data as deeply as possible. Qualitative methods prioritize the observation of phenomena and examine more the substance of the meaning of these phenomena. This study was also structured to fulfill assignments for development and recognition of student characteristics courses. In addition, this study identified factors that influence emotional development including the family environment, peer environment, school environment, community environment and social media. Factors of language development in adolescents, including biological factors, family environment, social interaction, education, cognitive factors, and cultural factors. A language-rich family environment, extensive social interaction, quality education, and supportive cultural factors have a positive impact on adolescent language development. In this context, it is important for adolescents, parents and educators to support emotional and language development in adolescents. Creating a safe and supportive environment, as well as providing opportunities to practice speaking and listening, can help youth develop emotional skills

STAGES OF STUDENTS' AFECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
This article discusses the stages of affective development of students. Affective development is an important part of student development, which influences the way they think, act, and interact with others. This article explains the understanding of student development and the stages of student affective development. This article is presented using a qualitative method which presents a description of qualitative data. The development of affective students is a development related to the emotional and psychological aspects of students. Affective development includes changes in the attitudes, values, beliefs, and emotions of students. The affective aspect also includes students' ability to understand, manage, and express their emotions well, as well as their ability to develop healthy and positive relationships with other people. Affective development can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the social environment, family, and educational experiences. Therefore, educators must pay attention to the affective development of students and provide appropriate support to help them grow and develop emotionally. From the explanation of the stages of affective development in students, it can be concluded that emotion and affective development play an important role in the teaching-learning process and children's academic success. Therefore, teachers and parents need to understand the stages of affective development in children and provide appropriate support to help children develop their affective aspects. But keep in mind that every child has a different pace and pace of development, so a sensitive and responsive approach must be used to help each child individually.

EFFECTIVE EDUCATION ABOUT HEALING TO MANAGE STRESS PENDIDIKAN KEFEKTIFAN TENTANG HEALING UNTUK MENANGANI STRES
The emergence of this self-healing phenomenon attracted a lot of attention from generation Z during the pandemic, starting in 2021 until now. According to (Madura, 2021) self-healing means self-healing, in other words healing means "a process of cure" a process of treatment or healing. Crane (in Aisa et al., 2021) explains that self-healing is a process of treatment or healing carried out by oneself through the beliefs one has and is supported by the environment and external supporting factors. Meanwhile, in practice, self-healing has a term that uses the process principle that the human body is actually something that can scientifically repair and heal itself in certain ways (Bahrien & Ardianty, 2017). The successful implementation of self-healing depends on self-confidence and internal communication, which means there is a need for the desire and ability to carry out internal dialogue. Self-healing is useful for recognizing and understanding emotions (Mutoharoh, 2022). Self-control also helps identify problems that individuals are experiencing, thought patterns, and other psychological aspects that influence current conditions. Sari & Aryanto (2022) say that Self-Healing is a method of healing disease not with the help of drugs, but by eliminating feelings of anxiety and emotional outbursts that are hidden in the body. Self-healing is usually done because students are experiencing academic stress. The consequences of academic stress occur in the school environment or educational environment. According to Desmita (in Barseli & Nikmarijal, 2017) academic stressors are defined as stress experienced by students due to learning or problems related to learning activities; such as pressure to improve grades, long periods of studying, cheating, lots of assignments, exam results, making important decisions, exam difficulties, and stress management. Rahmawati (in Barseli et al., 2017) states that there are several factors that cause stress in students; including excessive academic demands, poor exam results, mounting homework, and the social environment. Academic stress occurs when expectations of academic achievement from parents, teachers, and peers increase. These expectations often do not match students' abilities, causing psychological pressure that affects learning at school (Barseli & Nikmarijal, 2017).
