Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of learning guidance services using the role-playing technique on improving students' academic achievement at SMP Negeri 9 Palopo. The method employed is a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects were 22 students of class VIII-2 with low academic performance and low learning motivation. Data were collected through observation, documentation, questionnaires, and academic tests. The results show a significant increase in students' academic scores after receiving learning guidance using the role-playing technique. This technique effectively enhances student engagement, motivation, and understanding of learning materials. Therefore, role-playing is recommended as a strategy in learning guidance services to improve academic achievement.
