Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the counseling guidance function (social) for School Drop Outs, in the Naileu Village. Using qualitative research methods, the research informants were Guidance and Counseling Teachers and 3 school dropouts, with guidelines for observation, interviews, home visits, and documentation. The validity of the data is tested by triangulation. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and verification. Thus, it was found that (1) children drop out of school due to lack of harmony in the household, the desire of children to be able to help parents to meet household needs, feelings of shame arising from the age of children over the age of their friends, and feeling lazy because of the distance between homes and schools that are far away and have a minimum public transportation. (2) In addition, in carrying out their duties, counseling guidance teachers are tasked with finding out the factors that cause children to drop out of school through home visit activities. After that the guidance teacher does guidance, guides parents and students to change the wrong mindset by providing motivation that education is important for the child's future.
