IMPLEMENTASI KONSELING TERPADU (BEHAVIORISTIK–HUMANISTIK) DALAM MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI MEMBACA SISWA SLOW LEARNER

Abstract

Low reading motivation remains one of the major challenges experienced by slow learner students, requiring counseling services that address both their academic needs and psychological development. One promising approach is integrated counseling that combines behavioral and humanistic approaches to foster positive reading behaviors while enhancing students' self-awareness and self-confidence. This study aimed to describe the implementation of integrated counseling based on behavioral and humanistic approaches to improve the reading motivation of a slow learner student at SMP Negeri 1 Rantau Pulung. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research subject was one slow learner student with low reading motivation, while supporting informants included the school counselor, homeroom teacher, Indonesian language teacher, and the student's parent. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation, member checking, prolonged engagement, peer debriefing, and the criteria of transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings showed that the integrated counseling program was implemented through the stages of problem identification, planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up by integrating behavioral and humanistic approaches. The implementation of the counseling program was associated with positive changes in the student's reading motivation, reflected in increased interest in reading, persistence in completing reading tasks, self-confidence, independent reading habits, and consistent reading behavior. The findings suggest that integrated behavioral–humanistic counseling provides a positive contribution to supporting the improvement of reading motivation among slow learner students and may serve as an alternative counseling service in schools.
