Implementasi Layanan Bimbingan Kelompok dengan Teknik Diskusi untuk Meningkatkan Perencanaan Karir Peserta Didik Kelas XII Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan

Abstract

The issue of career planning among students at the secondary school level remains a crucial phenomenon that requires special attention, particularly at SMK Negeri 3 Sukawati. This study is a Guidance and Counseling Action Research (PTBK) aimed at improving the career planning of 12th-grade students in the Culinary 1 class at SMK Negeri 3 Sukawati, Gianyar, in the 2024/2025 academic year through the implementation of group counseling services using discussion techniques. The subjects of this study consisted of nine students selected based on the results of an initial observation, which indicated that their career planning scores fell within the low category. The research procedure was conducted over two cycles, each comprising the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. After the first cycle of intervention, most students demonstrated improvement, with score percentages increasing from 56% to 72%, which fall into the moderate to high category. However, as some students still showed suboptimal results, a second cycle of intervention was carried out. In the second cycle, results showed a significant increase, with the average score reaching 82%, categorized as high to very high. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of group counseling services using discussion techniques is effective in improving the career planning of 12th-grade Culinary 1 students at SMK Negeri 3 Sukawati, Gianyar, in the 2024/2025 academic year
