Penerapan Self-Management dalam Bimbingan Kelompok untuk Meningkatkan Disiplin Diri Siswa

Abstract

The development of self-discipline is one of the important aspects in the character development of students. This article discusses the integrative concept between group counseling services and self-management techniques as a strategic approach in fostering students' self-discipline. Group counseling services provide a conducive social interaction space for reflection and self-development, while self-management techniques emphasize behavioral control through individual awareness and responsibility. This study outlines the definition, factors, and aspects of self-discipline; the characteristics, objectives, and stages of group counseling; and the application of self-management techniques through components such as self-monitoring, self-reward, self-contracting, and stimulus control. The study results indicate that integrating both approaches has the potential to create sustainable behavioral changes in students. This approach is relevant for implementation in schools as part of preventive counseling services and character development. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of strengthening self-management within group dynamics as a strategy for systematically and contextually building students' discipline and independence.
