Penerapan Teknik Sosiodrama Dalam Bimbingan Kelompok Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Komunikasi Interpersonal Siswa

Abstract

This study was motivated by a common problem: misunderstandings between 
parties, caused by errors in perceiving and interpreting the information conveyed. 
The objective of this study was to determine whether group counseling using the 
sociodrama technique can improve the interpersonal communication skills of 
students at SMK PGRI 4 Kediri. A quantitative approach was used. The population 
of this study consists of 101 10th-grade students at SMK PGRI 4 Kediri. The sample 
comprised the 10th-grade TKJ class, consisting of 22 students. Based on the 
results of the pre-test, 8 students were selected to receive the sociodrama 
intervention, using purposive sampling. The results of the paired-sample t-test 
showed that the calculated t-value was 11. 938, which is higher than the critical t
value, or 11.938 > 2.44692. The N-Gain score of 99.08 falls into the “effective” 
category because 99.08 > 76%. Thus, it has been proven that the use of the 
sociodrama technique in group counseling is effective in improving students’ 
interpersonal communication skills.
