Abstract

Online game addiction among students has become an increasingly significant problem as it negatively affects learning concentration, discipline, and academic responsibility. This study aims to describe the implementation of the behavioural contract technique in guidance and counseling services to address online game addiction. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at SMKN 2 Luwu Utara, involving one school counselor and three students identified as experiencing online game addiction. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participant observation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that addictive behavior is influenced by internal factors such as boredom and low self-control, as well as external factors including peer influence and easy access to digital devices. The implementation of the behavioural contract was conducted through behavioral agreements, clear goal setting, reinforcement, and continuous monitoring. This intervention showed positive behavioral changes, indicated by reduced gaming intensity and improved learning discipline. The findings imply that the behavioural contract technique is effective for school counselors as an intervention strategy to reduce online game addiction among students. This technique can promote positive behavioral changes and enhance students’ self-control and responsibility, making it applicable in school guidance and counseling services.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the need for developing a mindfulness-based e-booklet as an information tool for guidance services to improve students’ ability to regulate anger at SMP Nasional Makassar. This research was motivated by students’ low ability to recognize, understand, and manage anger adaptively, which impacts impulsive behavior, social interactions, and the learning process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach in the form of a needs assessment study, employing data analysis techniques such as in-depth interviews and observations with the research subjects, namely Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers and two ninth-grade students at SMP Nasional Makassar. The results indicate that most students still struggle to identify emotions, understand triggers of anger, and apply appropriate emotion management strategies. Furthermore, the guidance services provided at the school are still dominated by conventional methods and are not supported by engaging, interactive, and contextual learning materials. Based on these findings, there is a need for engaging, interactive, and contextual guidance media. Mindfulness-based e-booklets are considered a relevant solution because they are designed to assist students in a visual, simple, and easy-to-understand manner, while also encouraging active student engagement in the emotional learning process. These results show that the development of mindfulness-based e-booklets is important as an innovation in guidance and counseling services to support the improvement of junior high school students’ ability to regulate their anger.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of traumatic counseling using the empty chair technique to overcome bullying trauma among students at SMP Daarul Qur'an. Traumatic counseling is a counseling service that aims to help individuals recover from psychological distress caused by traumatic experiences through emotional expression, self-understanding, and the development of adaptive coping strategies. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subject was one eighth-grade student who experienced trauma due to bullying. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction techniques. The findings revealed that the student experienced both verbal and physical bullying, which negatively affected psychological well-being, including feelings of fear, anxiety, sadness, low self-esteem, as well as decreased learning motivation and social interaction. After participating in traumatic counseling using the empty chair technique, the student demonstrated positive changes, such as feeling more relieved and calmer, reduced fear and anxiety, increased self-confidence, and an improved ability to interact socially and focus on learning. This study provides evidence of the effectiveness of the empty chair technique in assisting the recovery of bullying-related trauma among students and may serve as a reference for school counselors in delivering traumatic counseling services in educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the condition of students’ learning anxiety of individual counseling with a humanistic approach, and the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation at MTS Al-Mansyuriyah. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and a case study model. The research subject was a ninth-grade student who experienced learning anxiety. Data collection techniques were carried out through observations, interviews, and documentation using source and technique triangulation to ensure data validity. The results showed that the student experienced learning anxiety characterized by fear, nervousness, low self-confidence, difficulty concentrating, and low participation in learning activities. The implementation of individual counseling with a humanistic approach was conducted through four counseling sessions emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a warm relationship between counselor and student. After participating in the counseling process, the student showed positive changes, including reduced anxiety, increased self-confidence, more active participation in learning, and better ability to control anxious feelings. Supporting factors in the counseling implementation included a good relationship between the counselor and the student as well as support from the school, while the inhibiting factor was the limited implementation of counseling guidance programs at school. Therefore, individual counseling with a humanistic approach was proven effective in helping overcome students’ learning anxiety at MTS Al-Mansyuriyah.

Abstract

An individual's ability to achieve their ultimate success is inseparable from their level of achievement motivation. The role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in schools is crucial in assisting students who face obstacles in enhancing their achievement motivation. One effective service to support these students is providing group guidance using the modeling technique. High achievement motivation is characterized by embracing challenges, accepting failure, focusing on personal strengths, and demonstrating good time management. This study aims to help students improve their personal skills in all activities by using standards of excellence as a benchmark, while also serving as an internal driving force to attain success. The method employed is qualitative, utilizing research instruments such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study can serve as a reference in delivering group guidance services with modeling techniques to foster students' achievement motivation.

Abstract

The study's overarching goal is to draw conclusions about how well symbolic modeling-based group mentoring motivates students to succeed. Students in a group setting that makes use of symbolic modeling techniques are more likely to internalize the positive actions and images that their guides portray, which in turn boosts their drive to succeed academically. The researchers in this study used a mixed-methods approach, which involves gathering both quantitative and qualitative information through interviews and observations. Eight individuals were selected at random from the entire student body to participate in the study. The research findings supported the research hypothesis, which states that students' achievement motivation was increased through group guidance using symbolic modeling techniques. This is supported by the T-test results, which show a t-count of -38.105 and a Sig level (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05. In instance, symbolic modeling approaches might be viewed as having a significant impact on students' drive to succeed both before and after receiving group mentoring services..

Abstract

Social adjustment is an individual's ability to adapt to their surrounding environment, both in relation to other individuals and social groups. Individuals who are able to adjust socially are more likely to build positive social relationships within the school environment. Conversely, those with low social adjustment often face difficulties in socializing, communicating, collaborating with others, and tend to lack sensitivity to their social surroundings. Therefore, it is important for every student to develop adequate social adjustment skills in the school setting.This study aims to examine the social adjustment profile of seventh-grade students at SMP YP Mustika Padalarang, with the objective of supporting students in adapting to their environment, particularly at school. The research employed a mixed methods approach using a sequential explanatory design. The sampling technique used in this study was simple random sampling, involving 154 seventh-grade students.The results indicate that, in general, students’ social adjustment falls into the moderate category. This means that students possess basic social skills but have not yet demonstrated consistency in applying them across various situations. These students require further support and training in aspects such as communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. The findings of this study are expected to serve as preliminary data for school counselors or other researchers to design interventions that support the improvement of students’ social adjustment, and to complement and strengthen previous research.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low level of self-concept among some vocational high school students, which can negatively impact their personal development and future planning. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of group counseling using discussion techniques in improving the self-concept of 11th-grade students at SMK Negeri Pertanian Pembangunan Lembang. The study employed a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative component used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Results of the paired sample t-test showed a significant increase in self-concept after the group counseling was administered. The N-Gain score fell into the moderate category. Qualitative data obtained from observations and interviews supported the quantitative findings. These results indicate that the discussion technique in group counseling provides a reflective and supportive space that helps students to better understand and appreciate themselves. In conclusion, this service is effective in enhancing students’ self-concept and is recommended as a school-based intervention.
