Efektivitas Bimbingan Kelompok Teknik Games untuk Meningkatkan Keterbukaan Diri pada Peserta Didik Kelas VII MTS Negeri Kota Kupang

Abstract

Self-Disclosure is a part of communication where individuals reveal information about themselves that is usually hidden or not told to others. The act of self-disclosure includes five aspects, namely: the amount of information disclosed, positive and negative basic characteristics, the depth of self-disclosure, the time of self-disclosure, and the interlocutor. This study aims to test the effectiveness of group guidance using game techniques to increase self-disclosure in grade VII students of MTs Negeri Kota Kupang. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental research type with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research sample was taken using a purposeful sampling technique by giving a pretest to all members of the population totaling 30 people. From the pretest results, 10 students with low self-disclosure were selected as samples. Data analysis used the Mann Whitney test to see the difference in students' self-disclosure before and after being given treatment. To test the effectiveness of the game technique, an N-Gain Score analysis was used with the help of the SPSS V25 program. The results of the study showed that after being given treatment, all participants showed an increase in self-disclosure in the high category. The results of the Mann Whitney test obtained a z value = 0.381 with a sig = 0.00 (ρ < 0.05) and the results of the N Gain test score = 764. Thus, the game technique is effective in increasing students' self-disclosure. For further research, it is hoped that the duration of each guidance session will be extended to obtain more effective results and use a control group
