Abstract

This research explores the development and efficacy of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in educational settings over the last decade, emphasizing its potential to improve students' mental well-being and academic performance. A systematic review of 13 articles published between 2014 and 2024 reveals advancements in REBT, such as incorporating neurobiological perspectives and technology, adjustments for online learning, and tailored interventions for at-risk groups. The findings indicate that REBT effectively addresses various psychological challenges, including math anxiety, exam-related stress, and bullying, contributing to a nurturing learning environment. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of training REBT educators to manage their stress and enhance classroom dynamics. While the results show positive outcomes for both students and teachers, limitations include a small sample size and a narrow focus on specific populations. The study calls for further research to confirm REBT's relevance in diverse educational settings, emphasizing its role in fostering resilience and mental well-being for students and educators alike.
