LAYANAN BIMBINGAN KELOMPOK DENGAN TEKNIK CINEMA THERAPY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN RESILIENSI SISWA KELAS X SMKN 1 CIHAMPELAS

Abstrak

This study was motivated by the low resilience of Grade X students at SMKN 1 Cihampelas, who tended to give up easily, withdraw socially, and struggle to manage negative emotions under academic or personal pressure. It aimed to examine the effectiveness, implementation process, and challenges of a group guidance service using the "cinema therapy" technique to enhance student resilience. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used: a one-group pretest-posttest design followed by interviews to deepen the quantitative findings. Eight students with low to moderate resilience were selected via purposive sampling from 412 Grade X students. The service effectively increased resilience, with the mean score rising from 74.88 (pretest) to 84.63 (posttest). A paired t-test yielded t = -6.177 (df=7, p<0.05) and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.92). Interviews showed students found cinema therapy engaging despite shyness in sharing problems, while observations and the counselor's account indicated greater confidence, positive thinking, and emotional openness. The five sessions ran successfully, with an interactive atmosphere and high enthusiasm. Observed challenges included audiovisual issues, inadequate rooms, and limited time. Counselors are advised to use this service as an innovative, preventive measure to strengthen student resilience.
