initially conducted due to the fact that the are still many students found to
have difficulties in learning, either because of their less precise learning
methods or their low learning skill. This was shown in the number of students
who did cheating during tests and a large number of students who learn only if
there will be daily tests or exams. It is therefore, students’ learning skill
needs to be improved. To improve the learning skill, a guidance and counseling
service which suits the characteristics and needs of adolescents is required.
