Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of implementing group guidance services using spinner media (interactive spinning wheel) in improving self-esteem of grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 5 Percut Sei Tuan. This study uses a qualitative research type by applying the guidance and counseling action research method (PTBK). This is because the research was conducted through a series of stages. This study was conducted in two cycles starting from identifying problems in the classroom, then designing and implementing intervention actions, conducting reflections, analyzing the results, and making improvements in the second cycle. The results showed an increase in students' self-esteem after participating in group guidance services with spinner media. In cycle I, students still seemed hesitant and not fully open in expressing their feelings. However, the spinner media began to open up space for expression although it was not evenly distributed. Entering cycle II, significant changes were seen: students were more enthusiastic, open in sharing experiences, and showed more reflective and honest interactions. This indicates that the use of spinner media is effective in creating a safe group atmosphere and supporting increased self-esteem. group guidance services using spinner media (interactive spinning wheel) have a positive impact on increasing students' self-esteem. These changes are evident in the attitudes, behavior, and ways in which students view and value themselves after actively participating in the service.

Abstract

Academic procrastination is the act of delaying tasks or work that should be prioritized without a clear reason. This study aims to determine the influence and effectiveness of group counseling services using cognitive dispute techniques in reducing academic procrastination behavior in students with atychiphobia. This study employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the non-equivalent control group type. The population in this study consists of all eleventh-grade students at State Senior High School 1 Percut Sei Tuan, with a purposive sampling method yielding a sample size of 14 students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data collection techniques used an academic procrastination scale questionnaire. Data analysis used a non-parametric test, namely the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, which aimed to determine the difference in academic procrastination levels before and after the service was provided. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of group counseling services using cognitive dispute techniques in reducing academic procrastination behavior in students with atychiphobia. This is indicated by the results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, with a Z value of -2.371 and Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.018, which is smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (p < 0.05) for the experimental group, while there was no significant change in the control group that did not receive any treatment.

Abstract

This study discusses the influence of mental and spiritual guidance on self-acceptance among single mothers in Gampong Mon Geudong, Lhokseumawe City. Self-acceptance among single parents varies. Since single parents face different challenges, some struggle to accept themselves as single mothers, seek pleasure for themselves, disrupt others' households, or experience mental health issues. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is an influence of spiritual and mental guidance on self-acceptance among single parents. The type of research used is descriptive quantitative. The population consists of 25 single parents. The sample used in this study was obtained using the Nonprobability Sampling technique with saturated sampling. The researcher used this sampling technique because the sample size was 25 people. Saturated sampling is conducted when the population is less than 30 people. The data analysis technique used was simple linear regression. The results of this study indicate that spiritual guidance falls into the moderate category, while self-acceptance among single mothers also falls into the moderate category. There is a positive influence of spiritual guidance on self-acceptance, meaning that the hypothesis of this study is accepted. The influence is 32.9%, with the remaining percentage influenced by other factors not investigated in this study.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of classical guidance services in improving students’ learning motivation at the Sanggar Bimbingan Kampung Bharu, Malaysia. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The study involved 10 students who participated in the classical guidance sessions. The instrument used was a learning motivation questionnaire based on a Likert scale. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t-test to examine differences in scores before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in the average learning motivation score from 30.2 on the pretest to 36.8 on the posttest, with a mean difference of 6.6 points. The statistical test results indicated that the calculated t-value (12.69) was greater than the critical t-value (2.262) at a 0.05 significance level, meaning there was a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. This finding demonstrates that classical guidance services are effective in enhancing students’ learning motivation. Through structured and interactive guidance activities, students were able to recognize their potential, foster enthusiasm for learning, and develop learning independence. Therefore, classical guidance services have proven to be an effective strategy to be implemented in non-formal educational institutions to foster students’ learning motivation. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for counselors and educators in developing guidance programs in non-formal institutions, especially for Indonesian children studying abroad. These findings highlight the importance of structured classical guidance in strengthening students’ internal learning drive, an aspect that deserves further attention in non-formal educational settings.
