Towards an Effective Agentic Group Guidance Model to Improving the Prosocial Behavior of Minangkabau Adolescents

Abstract

The adolescent concern of others’ difficulties is required in the form of prosocial behavior. Previous research has found that the prosocial behavior of Indonesian adolescents has not been optimally developed. Unfortunately, no research results were found on the development of a model for improving adolescent prosocial behavior through the implementation of group guidance in schools. This study uses development research methods with the aim of producing a model of agentic group guidance to improve a valid and practical adolescent prosocial behavior. The model integrates the principles of behavior development according to the agentic perspective in the implementation of group guidance to improve altruistic, emotional, anonymous and emergency prosocial behavior. The validation test uses the acceptability scale of the agentic group guidance model and the practical test uses the practicality assessment scale of the agentic group guidance model which is based on the Likert scale. The validation and practical test data were analyzed using the Aiken's V formula. The results of the analysis showed that the validity and practicality levels of the model were high with values ​​of 0.86 and 0.87, respectively. In conclusion, the agentic group guidance model to improve students' prosocial behavior is considered valid and practical in use.
