Abstract

This study originated from the problem of a student showing symptoms of low self-confidence, such as hesitation in expressing opinions, avoidance of speaking in front of the class, and lack of courage in social interactions. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative method. The subject of the study was an eleventh-grade student selected based on observations and interviews with the guidance and counseling teacher. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The results showed that individual counseling with a behavioristic approach helped the student improve self-development through the habituation of positive behaviors, reinforcement, and gradual practice to build self-confidence. Changes demonstrated by the student included increased courage to express opinions, improved learning motivation, and the ability to manage fear when speaking in public. In conclusion, individual counseling with a behavioristic approach proved effective in enhancing self-improvement for students with low self-confidence. This research is expected to serve as a reference for guidance and counseling teachers in providing appropriate counseling services, as well as a basis for future studies in the field of guidance and counseling.
