<![CDATA[Learning motivation is an important factor influencing students' success in the learning process, particularly for those with learning difficulties. Low learning motivation may reduce students' participation, self-confidence, and engagement in both classroom learning and guidance services. This study aimed to describe the improvement in the learning motivation of students with learning difficulties after participating in group guidance services using educational video media at SMP Negeri 2 Muara Wahau. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The participants consisted of three seventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling based on classroom observations and recommendations from the school counselor and homeroom teachers. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire administered before and after the intervention and analyzed using the N-Gain Score. The findings showed that the average learning motivation score increased from 64 in the pretest to 78 in the posttest. The obtained N-Gain score of 0.690 was categorized as moderate, indicating an improvement in students' learning motivation following the implementation of group guidance services using educational video media. In addition, students demonstrated greater participation, self-confidence, and engagement during the guidance sessions. These findings suggest that educational video media has the potential to support group guidance services in enhancing the learning motivation of students with learning difficulties at the junior high school level.
