Studi Fenomena Minat Siswa Memanfaatkan Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling di SMP

Abstract

Abstract: Guidance and counselling play a crucial role in facilitating student development. Interesting phenomena have been observed on one of the Junior High School in the city of Malang: students’ reluctance to attend the Guidance and Counselling room, their fear and anxiety when called to meet the counsellor and their suboptimal utilisation of Guidance and Counselling services. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach to describe students’ interests and the counsellors’ attempts towards Guidance and Counselling services. This study comprised students in seventh through ninth grades, counsellors, principals, vice principals for student affairs, and homeroom teachers serving as informants. The study’s findings indicated that (1) numerous students were interested in classical guidance services. On the other hand, counselling, group guidance, instagram ,and Bookshelf were less desirable; (2) Student interest was affected by elements of perception, school personnel, parents, society, and mass media; (3) counselors stimulate interest through the counseling program according to students' conditions, build harmonious relationships, and collaborate with teacher and parents; (4) School personnel, parents, and the government provide encouraging and inhibiting factors to cultivate student interest, which was subsequently reinforced through classical guidance for seventh grade, home visits, parenting seminars, and peer cooperation. Based on these findings, it is hoped that the counselor will assess the management program for the better.
