Implementasi Layanan Bimbingan Konseling dalam Meningkatkan Disiplin dan Motivasi Belajar di SMK Smart Ar-rahman

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of guidance and counseling (BK)
services at SMART AR-RAHMAN Vocational School and its role in improving
academic discipline and student learning motivation. The research method used
was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation,
semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that BK
services at the school are systematically implemented through individual
counseling, group counseling, classical guidance, and information services.
Guidance and counseling teachers act as facilitators, motivators, and counselors
using a humanistic approach that builds trust and maintains confidentiality. Close
collaboration between guidance and counseling teachers and Islamic Religious
Education teachers provides comprehensive character development, integrating
students' psychological and spiritual aspects. Although guidance and counseling
services have a positive impact on discipline and learning motivation, challenges
remain in the form of negative stigma among students who associate guidance
and counseling teachers with punishment. Implementing responsive
communication strategies, understanding the characteristics of Generation Z,
and utilizing social media are key solutions to improve the image of guidance and
counseling and enhance service effectiveness. This study recommends improving
sustainable guidance and counseling service planning and strengthening
collaboration across teachers to support students' holistic development.
