PENGARUH BIMBINGAN SOSIAL TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERADAPTASI SISWA

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Students’ ability to adapt to the school environment is an important aspect that supports their social development and academic success. However, in practice, some students still experience difficulties in adjusting to the school environment and peer relationships, which negatively affects their social interaction and learning process.. This study aims to determine the effect of social guidance on the adaptability of Grade VIII students at SMPN 2 Batukliang, Central Lombok Regency. The study employed a one-group pre-test post-test experimental design. The population consisted of 54 students, while the sample was selected using purposive sampling, involving 8 students identified as having low adaptability. The data collection instrument was an adaptability questionnaire using a Likert scale (1–4), which was tested for validity using Product Moment correlation and reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha formula. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed a calculated t-value of 9.23, while the t-table value at a 5% significance level with degrees of freedom (N−1) = 7 was 2.365. Since t-count (9.23) > t-table (2.365), the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Thus, there is a significant effect of social guidance on students’ adaptability. Social guidance services have been proven effective in improving students’ ability to adjust to the school environment and peer relationships.

ABSTRAK

Kemampuan beradaptasi siswa di lingkungan sekolah merupakan aspek penting dalam mendukung perkembangan sosial dan keberhasilan akademik. Namun, dalam praktiknya masih ditemukan siswa yang mengalami kesulitan dalam menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan sekolah maupun teman sebaya, sehingga berdampak pada interaksi sosial dan proses belajar mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh bimbingan sosial terhadap kemampuan beradaptasi siswa kelas VIII SMPN 2 Batukliang Kabupaten Lombok Tengah. Penelitian menggunakan desain eksperimen one group pre-test post-test design. Populasi berjumlah 54 siswa dan sampel dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sebanyak 8 siswa yang teridentifikasi memiliki kemampuan beradaptasi rendah. Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa angket kemampuan beradaptasi dengan skala Likert (1–4) yang telah diuji validitasnya menggunakan korelasi Product Moment dan reliabilitasnya menggunakan formula Alpha Cronbach. Data dianalisis menggunakan rumus t-test berpasangan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan nilai t hitung sebesar 9,23, sedangkan nilai t tabel pada taraf signifikansi 5% dengan derajat bebas (N−1) = 7 adalah 2,365. Karena t hitung (9,23) > t tabel (2,365), hipotesis nol ditolak dan hipotesis alternatif diterima. Dengan demikian, terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan bimbingan sosial terhadap kemampuan beradaptasi siswa. Layanan bimbingan sosial terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan penyesuaian diri siswa terhadap lingkungan sekolah dan teman sebaya.
