Social interaction improvement through group guidance

Abstract

The objective of the study was to find out whether the group guidance services
could improve students' social interaction. This research uses a quantitative approach through
experiment. In this study, the subjects from the study were 26 students divided into an
experimental group of 13 students and control group of 13 students. Data collected by
questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that
social interaction ability of experiment class students can be improved after receiving group
guidance service. As for the control class which was not given group guidance service, the
result showed that the level of social interaction ability did not increase significantly. These
results illustrate that social interaction can be enhanced through group guidance services.
