Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling program TERANG (Discover Your Passion, Ignite Your Academic Enthusiasm) in improving academic motivation of vocational high school students. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, five students from accounting major in SMK X Semarang participated. Data were collected using Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), interviews, and observations. Results of paired sample t-test revealed a significant increase in academic motivation (p = 0.018), with three students achieving high category after intervention. The findings indicate that group counseling creates a supportive environment that enables students to share experiences, gain insights, and build adaptive strategies to enhance academic enthusiasm. This study highlights the role of the humanistic approach in counseling to foster motivation, and contributes to educational psychology by providing evidence of group counseling effectiveness in vocational context.

Abstract

New students often struggle to manage their time effectively due to various academic and non-academic demands. This study aims to determine new students' time management skills and test the effectiveness of the Time Matters Strategy through adaptive group counselling. The study employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. The sample consisted of 5 new students selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were a time management questionnaire and a self-evaluation questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in the time management skills of new students after participating in three sessions of Time Matters Strategy group counselling, with the average pre-test score of 74.80 increasing to 88.80 on the post-test (p = 0.004; Cohen's d = -2.720). In addition, participants reported positive changes in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, including reduced anxiety, increased motivation, and becoming accustomed to using effective time management methods. Group counselling with the Time Matters Strategy effectively improves the time management skills of new students, so it can be used as an alternative psychological intervention in higher education settings.
