Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of group counseling services with systematic desensitization techniques in reducing public speaking anxiety in junior high school students. This study uses a quantitative approach with the quasi-experiment one-group pre-test post-test design method. The participants of this study were grade VIII students of Junior High School in Medan, with a sample of 7 students. The sample was recruited using a purposive sampling technique based on the criteria of students who experienced high speech anxiety. The intervention was carried out through 4 group counseling sessions adjusted to systematic desensitization techniques. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test led to a decrease in the average score from 74.14 to 57.14 with an Asymp significance value. Sig (2-tailed) is 0.018. This proves that group counseling with systematic decentralization techniques can reduce public speaking anxiety in junior high school students.
