However, many orphaned teenagers experience a sense of meaninglessness due to the loss of hope for developing into quality individuals. This issue poses risks to their daily living necessities. Therefore, the provision of a tool, such as IKIGAI training, is essential to facilitate orphaned adolescents in finding meaning in life. The aim of this research is to assess the effectiveness of IKIGAI training in discovering life meaning among adolescents in the Salatiga orphanage. The research employs a quantitative experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Ten participants from the Salatiga orphanage were involved using purposive sampling. The study includes an IKIGAI training module and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) to measure pretest and posttest values of life meaning. Data analysis involves the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The results demonstrate that IKIGAI training effectively assists orphaned adolescents in finding meaning in life (Z value of 2.848 and significance of 0.000; p < 0.05). This indicates that the discovery of life's meaning is crucial for adolescents, contributing to a sense of worth, creative life values, learning from past experiences, and planning future life goals a significance attributed to the application of IKIGAI in daily life.

Procrastination is the habit of purposeful delay and the avoidance of tasks that are inherently unnecessary. In the realm of education, this behavior is identified as academic procrastination. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-regulated learning, task aversiveness, and academic procrastination among high school students enrolled in the Affirmative Education Program (abbreviated into: ADEM). The hypotheses of the study are as follows: 1) Major Hypothesis: There is a relationship between self-regulated learning and task aversiveness with academic procrastination among ADEM students; 2) First Minor Hypothesis: There is a negative relationship between self-regulated learning and academic procrastination among ADEM students; 3) Second Minor Hypothesis: There is a negative relationship between task aversiveness and academic procrastination among ADEM students. Participants in this research were 44 eleventh and twelfth-grade ADEM students selected through Incidental Sampling technique. Data collection involved the use of scales measuring academic procrastination, self-regulated learning, and task aversiveness. Data analysis included the application of the double correlation analysis technique to test the major hypothesis and the Product Moment analysis to test the minor hypotheses. The results reveal a correlation coefficient (R= 0.732, p<0.01) between self-regulated learning, task aversiveness, and academic procrastination, supporting the acceptance of the major hypothesis. Furthermore, the analysis of the first minor hypothesis indicates a significant negative relationship between self-regulated learning and academic procrastination (rx1y = 0.645, p<0.01), while the second minor hypothesis shows a significant negative relationship between task aversiveness and academic procrastination (rx2y= 0.698, p<0.01). In conclusion, the minor hypotheses of the study are accepted.
