Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to determine the application of group counseling using a reality approach to reduce truancy behavior among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Palangka Raya in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 4 students selected through purposive sampling based on their tendency to engage in truancy. Data were collected using a truancy behavior questionnaire and analyzed using a t-test. The results showed that the average pre-test score of 67.25 (high category) decreased to 35.5 (low category) in the post-test, with a reduction of 31.75. The hypothesis test results indicated that the calculated t-value (29.44) was greater than the t-table value (3.182) at a 5% significance level, so the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that group counseling with a reality approach is effective in reducing students’ truancy behavior.
