EFEKTIVITAS BIMBINGAN KLASIKAL MENGGUNAKAN MEDIA POSTER DIGITAL UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MINAT KARIER PADA SISWA SMP

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of classical guidance using digital poster media in improving students’ career interest at SMP Negeri 2 Palembang. The research method used was quantitative with a Quasi-Experimental design in the form of a non-equivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 54 eighth-grade students selected using purposive sampling technique, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data collection was carried out through a career interest questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results of descriptive analysis showed an increase in the mean score of the experimental class from 81.59 in the pretest to 97.04 in the posttest. Hypothesis testing was conducted using Welch’s t-test analysis because the data variances were not homogeneous, resulting in a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.020. This value was smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (0.020 < 0.05), so the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. The findings indicate that classical guidance using digital poster media is significantly effective in improving students’ career interest at SMP Negeri 2 Palembang.
