Relationship Between Conseling Guidance And Islamic Conceling Guidance At SMAN 2 Bandung And SMAN 8 Bandung

Abstract

This study investigates counseling guidance practices in two high schools in Bandung, namely SMAN 2 and SMAN 8, with a focus on the comparison between general counseling guidance and Islamic counseling guidance. This research aims to explore the implementation, differences and integration of spiritual values in the two counseling guidance approaches. The research method used is a mixed approach, combining surveys with guidance and counseling teachers, in-depth interviews with several students, and analysis of documents related to curriculum and school policies. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed to understand general patterns, significant differences, and potential integration between the two counseling guidance approaches at SMAN 2 and SMAN 8 Bandung. The research results show that SMAN 2 and SMAN 8 have different approaches in implementing counseling guidance. SMAN 2 is more likely to adopt a general counseling guidance approach that emphasizes psychological and academic aspects, while SMAN 8 integrates spiritual values based on Islamic teachings in their counseling guidance practices. Discussion of the results highlights the importance of recognizing the uniqueness of each approach and the potential synergy between them in the educational context in Indonesia. Appropriate integration between general counseling guidance and Islamic counseling guidance can increase the effectiveness of counseling guidance services in schools, as well as provide better holistic support for students in facing psychological, academic and spiritual challenges. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for an inclusive and adaptive guidance counseling approach, which is able to accommodate the needs of students from various backgrounds and beliefs. The practical implication of this research is the importance of updating the counseling guidance curriculum in schools to integrate spiritual values in a sensitive and relevant manner, according to the local cultural and religious context.
