EFEKTIVITAS ROLE PLAYING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN SELF-ESTEEM SISWA

Abstract

Suboptimal self-esteem among students may be reflected in feelings of inferiority, reluctance to express opinions, social withdrawal, and a tendency to compare themselves with peers. These conditions were identified among several students at SMK Negeri 8 Palu, indicating the need for an appropriate intervention through guidance and counseling services. This study aimed to determine students' levels of self-esteem before and after receiving group guidance using the role-playing technique and to examine the effectiveness of the technique in improving students' self-esteem. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 10 students selected through purposive sampling based on identification by the school's Guidance and Counseling teacher. Data were collected using a Likert-scale self-esteem questionnaire with a Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.946. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test, and a paired sample t-test. The results showed that at the pretest stage, all students (100%) were in the moderate category. After three sessions of group guidance using the role-playing technique, 8 students (80%) reached the high category, while 2 students (20%) remained in the moderate category. The paired sample t-test yielded a t-value of 14.029 with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in students' self-esteem scores before and after the intervention. Therefore, group guidance using the role-playing technique was effective in improving students' self-esteem at SMK Negeri 8 Palu and can serve as an alternative intervention in school guidance and counseling services.
