Implementation of Classical Guidance Activities in Improving Student Discipline and Academic Achievement: A Case Study at Al-Falah Deltasari Junior High School

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of classical guidance activities in improving student discipline and academic achievement at SMP Al-Falah Deltasari. Classical guidance, as a core component of school-based guidance and counseling services, plays a strategic role in character formation and the development of students' academic potential. This research employed a qualitative case study method with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The subjects consisted of the school counselor and eighth-grade students. The results show that the classical guidance sessions were systematically conducted with relevant materials addressing students' problems, such as time management, motivation, and self-discipline. The impact of these activities was evident in the improved discipline of students in adhering to school rules and a noticeable upward trend in academic performance.
