The use of gadgets among children aged 5 to 14 has increased significantly alongside the advancement of digital technology. This phenomenon has a complex impact on children’s cognitive development, particularly in areas of thinking, concept formation, and logical abilities. This study aims to analyze in depth the influence of gadgets on children’s cognitive development using Jean Piaget’s cognitive development theory as the conceptual framework. The research method employed is qualitative, based on a literature review, examining various literatures, scientific articles, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that gadgets can provide benefits in enhancing symbolic learning, creativity, and problem-solving skills in children. Children can use digital media to explore new concepts visually and interactively. However, excessive use of gadgets may reduce social interactions, hands-on play experiences, and physical activities that are essential for cognitive and emotional development. These negative impacts can affect children’s critical thinking, communication skills, and the development of empathy. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of guidance and supervision from parents and educators to ensure that children utilize technology optimally. Managing usage time, selecting educational content, and combining digital activities with real social interactions are essential strategies to support balanced cognitive development in children.

Psychological assessment is one of the essential aspects of the guidance and counseling process, serving to understand the client’s characteristics, needs, and potential in a comprehensive manner. Through assessment, counselors can obtain an objective picture of the client’s psychological condition, which becomes the foundation for formulating appropriate interventions. However, in practice, psychological assessment is not free from complex ethical challenges. Two main aspects that often draw attention are the confidentiality of assessment data and the counselor’s effort to maintain objectivity during the interpretation process. Violations of confidentiality principles can undermine client trust and diminish professional credibility, while a lack of objectivity may lead to bias in evaluation and decision-making. This article discusses the importance of applying ethical principles at every stage of psychological assessment from data collection, interpretation, to the communication of results. Through theoretical review and case study analysis, this article also outlines strategies that counselors can use to address ethical dilemmas, such as adherence to professional codes of ethics, continuous supervision, and the enhancement of ethical awareness. The findings emphasize that a deep understanding of ethics in psychological assessment is crucial for building a healthy professional relationship between counselor and client, as well as for maintaining integrity and moral responsibility within guidance and counseling practice.
