Abstract

This study aims to identify: (1) the stages of Caci dance performance in Wejang Mali Village, East Lamba Leda District, East Manggarai Regency; (2) the cultural values embedded in the Caci dance tradition in Wejang Mali Village, East Lamba Leda District, East Manggarai Regency; and (3) the implications of the cultural values embodied in Caci dance for multicultural counseling programs. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of traditional leaders, community leaders, and young people directly involved in Caci dance performances. Data were collected through interviews and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and data verification, while data validity was established through source triangulation and member checking. The findings indicate that Caci dance performances in Wejang Mali Village consist of three stages: preparation, performance, and closing. The cultural values embedded in Caci dance include courage, skill, cooperation, respect, and sportsmanship. These values serve as behavioral guidelines for the community and as a means of transmitting cultural heritage to younger generations. The implications of this study for multicultural counseling suggest that the cultural values embodied in Caci dance can be integrated into guidance and counseling programs through services grounded in local culture. Such integration can foster mutual appreciation, respect for diversity, cooperation, courage in decision-making, and sportsmanship in community life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning problems experienced by Grade VIII students at UPTD SMPN 16 Kupang based on students’ experiences and teachers’ perspectives. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, using interviews with 16 informants consisting of one homeroom teacher, three subject teachers, and 12 Grade VIII students. The data were analyzed thematically by grouping responses into recurring patterns relevant to the research focus. The findings derived from the available informant accounts revealed several issues, namely students’ limited openness in communicating their difficulties, inconsistent classroom participation, procrastination in completing assignments, and family responsibilities that reduce the time and energy available for learning. Some students reported being distracted by recreational activities, while others experienced fatigue after helping their parents at home. These findings indicate that learning problems need to be understood by considering academic factors, study habits, communication, and family context. Guidance and counseling services can support the identification of students’ needs and the development of effective learning strategies and time management skills.
