The Role of Guidance and Counseling in Improving Learning Outcomes and Self-Confidence of Grade 6 Students at MI Hadrul Ulum Cisalak

Cepi Ananda — 2025-06-20

This study aims to explore the role of guidance counseling (BK) in improving the academic performance and self-confidence of students at MI Hadrul Ulum Cisalak. Self-confidence is considered a key factor influencing students' motivation and academic performance. This research uses a mixed-methods design, with a quantitative approach to measure the relationship between self-confidence and academic performance through questionnaires, and a qualitative approach to deepen understanding through observations. The study population consists of 30 students at MI Hadrul Ulum Cisalak, with a total sample used due to the limited population size. The results show a significant positive relationship between self-confidence and academic performance (correlation coefficient = 0.65). Students with high self-confidence tend to be more active in the learning process and have better average grades. Observational findings also reveal that the school environment and the role of the BK teacher have an important influence in building students' self-confidence. The BK program at MI Hadrul Ulum Cisalak has made a positive contribution, but still needs improvement in terms of frequency and variety of activities. Based on these findings, the study recommends increasing the frequency of the BK program, using a holistic approach, and collaborating with parents to create a more supportive learning environment. This study provides important contributions to the development of more effective BK programs in supporting the academic and psychological development of students at the elementary school level.

Utilization of Statistics to Improve the Effectiveness of Guidance and Counseling Services in Schools

Halimahtun Syaddiyah — 2025-06-20

This study aims to examine the use of statistics in the evaluation of Guidance and Counseling (BK) services based on literature analysis. The evaluation of guidance and counseling services requires a systematic and data-based approach to ensure the effectiveness of the services provided to students. The results show that descriptive statistics are widely used to present basic data on services, while inferential statistics such as t-test, ANOVA, and regression are utilized to assess the effectiveness of interventions and relationships between variables. Outcome based evaluation is becoming an increasingly adopted approach to improving service quality. The main challenges identified were the limited competence of counselors in statistical analysis and the lack of systemic support in educational institutions. On the other hand, advances in technology and statistical software have made it easier to conduct quantitative service evaluations. This study emphasizes the importance of improving statistical literacy for counselors and the integration of data-based evaluation systems in the development of adaptive and effective counseling programs.

Suciati Fatimah — 2025-06-30

Freedom of religion is one of the basic principles upheld in various modern legal and thought systems, including in the discourse of human rights. In Islam, the issue of religious freedom is often debated, especially regarding how the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad's hadith explain and apply it. This research aims to examine the concept of religious freedom in the perspective of the Prophet's hadith by using normative and contextual approaches. This research is a qualitative study based on library research with thematic analysis method of relevant hadiths. The normative approach is used to examine the values, norms, and teachings of Islamic law contained in the hadith text. Meanwhile, the contextual approach is used to understand the social, political, and cultural background when the hadith was delivered, so that the meaning of the hadith can be interpreted as a whole and not separated from its historical reality. The results show that the Prophet Muhammad upheld the principle of religious freedom through his speech and social practices, including in the Medina Charter and interactions with non-Muslim communities. Hadiths that support the principles of tolerance, protection of non-Muslims, and prohibition of religious coercion show that Islam substantially upholds religious freedom. This study concludes that through a normative and contextual understanding of hadith, Islam can be understood as a religion that is true to itself.
