<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Career planning is an important aspect of students’ readiness to determine their further education and future career direction. However, the results of an initial assessment conducted among Grade IX F students at SMP Negeri 8 Denpasar indicated that their career planning skills were still at a low level. This condition highlights the need for guidance services that not only assist students in recognizing their personal characteristics but also connect such self-understanding with information about educational pathways and the world of work. This study aimed to improve students’ career planning skills through classical guidance services based on Trait and Factor theory. The study employed a Classroom Action Research design conducted in two cycles involving 40 Grade IX F students in the 2025/2026 academic year. All students were involved as research subjects using total sampling. Data were collected through observations and a career planning instrument consisting of 40 Likert-scale statements. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis by comparing the mean scores, ability categories, and classical mastery at each stage of the study. The results showed that the mean score increased from 93.00 in the pre-action stage to 123.20 in Cycle I and 154.83 in Cycle II. Classical mastery also increased from 0.00% to 27.50% and 92.50%, respectively. These findings indicate a positive development in students’ career planning skills through the continuous stages of trait and factor understanding. ABSTRAK Kemampuan perencanaan karier menjadi bagian penting dalam kesiapan siswa SMP menentukan pilihan pendidikan lanjutan dan arah masa depan. Namun, hasil asesmen awal pada siswa kelas IX F SMP Negeri 8 Denpasar menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan tersebut masih berada pada kategori rendah. Kondisi ini menunjukkan perlunya layanan bimbingan yang tidak hanya membantu siswa mengenali karakteristik dirinya, tetapi juga mempertemukan pemahaman tersebut dengan informasi pendidikan dan dunia kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan perencanaan karier siswa melalui layanan bimbingan klasikal berbasis teori Trait and Factor. Penelitian menggunakan desain Penelitian Tindakan Kelas yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus pada 40 siswa kelas IX F tahun pelajaran 2025/2026. Seluruh siswa dilibatkan sebagai subjek dengan teknik total sampling. Data diperoleh melalui observasi dan instrumen perencanaan karier yang terdiri atas 40 pernyataan berskala Likert. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kuantitatif dengan membandingkan rata-rata skor, kategori kemampuan, dan ketuntasan klasikal pada setiap tahap penelitian. Hasil menunjukkan rata-rata skor meningkat dari 93,00 pada pra-tindakan menjadi 123,20 pada Siklus I dan 154,83 pada Siklus II. Ketuntasan klasikal juga meningkat dari 0,00% menjadi 27,50% dan 92,50%. Temuan tersebut menunjukkan perkembangan positif kemampuan perencanaan karier melalui tahapan pemahaman trait dan factor yang dilakukan secara berkelanjutan.]]>
