Development of an Emotional Regulation E-Module for Guidance and Counseling Teachers Using the 4D Model

Students’ difficulties in regulating emotions and the absence of systematic service guidelines for guidance and counseling teachers constitute the background of this study. This research aims to develop an emotional regulation e-module as a structured and user-friendly supporting medium for guidance and counseling services. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, implemented up to the development stage. The research subjects consisted of material experts, media experts, and three guidance and counseling teachers who assessed the practicality of the product. Data were collected using validation sheets and analyzed descriptively using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results indicate that the e-module achieved a very high validity level, with scores of 91.2% from media experts and 98.8% from material experts, and was categorized as very practical, with a practicality score of 94.5%. Therefore, the e-module is considered feasible and practical as a service guideline to support guidance and counseling teachers in enhancing students’ emotional regulation skills. The e-module can be applied in various guidance and counseling services, including classical guidance, group counseling, and individual counseling.
