<![CDATA[Guidance and Counseling is a relationship carried out in order to provide assistance to individuals (clients) face to face (face to face) in the form of direction and advice to someone to solve a problem or achieve a certain goal which is carried out intentionally and continuously. In this case, counselors play an important role in helping clients solve the problems they are facing. This guidance and counseling maintains the confidentiality of discussions discussed during counseling. In the world of education, there are still many students who still need help in terms of problems they face at school, such as frequent withdrawals, not doing assignments and so on, while things outside of school include arguments that occur between children and their parents or children and their social environment. Therefore, teachers play a very important role in helping students change bad habits that they often do, not only that, teachers can collaborate in solving this problem. Humans in their daily lives will never be free from unpleasant and pleasant feelings. In a student's success, there must be someone who provides motivation to that person, whether it's study motivation or work motivation. With this motivation or encouragement, it can help students to move them to do something more optimally with a sense of self-confidence and a full sense of responsibility. Motivation is the energy to generate inner drive (aurosal drive). If a need is not satisfied, an individual's drive and activity arises to respond to the stimulus (incentive) for the desired goal. Achieving goals will make individuals feel satisfied. Meanwhile, work motivation is a condition that influences generating, directing and maintaining behavior related to the work environment (Anwar; 1993: 47). So the author can conclude that work motivation is an impulse that moves a person to work as best as possible so that the work is carried out and produces the best results. Based on the author's observations during Field Experience Practice (PPL) at Guguk State Vocational School 1, specifically for students who will carry out practical work, namely field work practice. Here, guidance and counseling teachers play a very active role in helping students to be successful in carrying out field work practices, one of which is by providing work motivation to these students. The purpose of providing this work motivation is to provide encouragement to students so that students are smarter in preparing themselves before carrying out practical field work later, such as reminding students to be more active in terms of vocational practice, better able to look after themselves, better able to improve their skills and so on. etc. The aim of this research is to describe and analyze the efforts of Guidance and Counseling Teachers in Providing Work Motivation for the Success of Students' Field Work Practices (Prakerin) at SMK Negeri 1 Guguk."
