TEKNIK ART THERAPY “MEMBATIK” UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KECERDASAN EMOSIONAL PESERTA DIDIK SEKOLAH MENENGAH PERTAMA

ART THERAPY TECHNIQUE “BATIK” TO INCREASE THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Masa remaja ditandai dengan ketidakstabilan emosi, yang sering kali mengakibatkan rendahnya kecerdasan emosional pada individu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi keberhasilan penerapan teknik art therapy dalam meningkatkan kecerdasan emosional remaja. Dengan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR), pencarian jurnal dilakukan secara online menggunakan kata kunci “teknik art therapy dan kecerdasan emosional,” menghasilkan 8 jurnal terpilih dalam kurun waktu 2017–2024 melalui Google Scholar. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa teknik art therapy, khususnya membatik, efektif dalam membantu remaja mengekspresikan emosi melalui pola bebas yang digambar di kain, sekaligus melatih ketelitian dan kesabaran. Selain meningkatkan kemampuan kontrol dan pemahaman emosi, membatik juga memperluas wawasan remaja tentang pentingnya pelestarian budaya tradisional di era globalisasi. Penelitian ini memberikan landasan bagi studi lebih lanjut tentang potensi art therapy, khususnya membatik, yang masih jarang dieksplorasi dalam penelitian sebelumnya.

Adolescence is characterized by emotional instability, which often leads to low emotional intelligence in individuals. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of art therapy techniques in improving adolescents' emotional intelligence. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, journal searches were conducted online with the keywords "art therapy techniques and emotional intelligence," resulting in 8 selected journals published between 2017 and 2024 through Google Scholar. The findings indicate that art therapy, particularly the technique of batik-making, is effective in helping adolescents express their emotions through free patterns drawn on fabric while fostering precision and patience. In addition to enhancing emotional control and understanding, batik-making broadens adolescents' awareness of the importance of preserving traditional culture in the era of globalization. This study provides a foundation for further research on the potential of art therapy, especially batik-making, which remains underexplored in previous studies.
