The research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected from 224 students of SMPN 22 Jambi City who were selected as research participants. The data were obtained through a questionnaire based on a Likert scale and analyzed using percentage calculations. The findings indicate that, in general, students’ perceptions of the role of school counselors in enhancing student discipline fall within the good category, with an overall percentage score of 82%. Based on the research indicators, the percentage scores for stimulus reception, understanding, and evaluation were 80%, 82%, and 82%, respectively, all of which are categorized as good. These findings suggest that students positively perceive the contribution of school counselors in fostering discipline, particularly through guidance, support, and counseling services that encourage compliance with school regulations and the development of responsible behavior.]]>
