Abstract


Guidance and Counseling (BK) services play a crucial role in supporting students' personal, social, learning, and career development. To ensure the effectiveness of these services, regular updates to student needs data are required. This study aims to update the data on the needs of ninth-grade students at SMPN 5 Malang using a descriptive quantitative approach. A total of 179 students were selected as respondents through a purposive sampling technique based on the completeness of the needs assessment questionnaire. The instrument used was the Student Needs Questionnaire (AKPD), which consisted of 50 items categorized into four areas of BK services according to Permendikbud No. 111 of 2014. Data analysis was conducted using a percentage technique. The results showed that personal and learning areas were the most needed aspects for students, with a focus on emotional control, self-confidence, time management, and learning motivation. Meanwhile, social and career areas showed moderate levels of need. These findings emphasize the importance of updating needs assessments as a basis for developing relevant and contextual BK services.
