Abstract

Motivation is one of the important things in the educational process, but many junior high school students still find it difficult to maintain their motivation consistently. In school, the emphasis is usually more often on academic achievement, while reflection activities to support motivation are still rarely done. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the muhasabah milad program in fostering student self-motivation at Al falah Deltasari Sidoarjo Junior High School. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with students who participate in the milad muhasabah program and BK teachers as implementers. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Observations were carried out to see firsthand the sustainability of the program, interviews were used to explore the experiences of BK students and teachers, while documentation in the form of photos and notes was used as supporting data. Data analysis is carried out through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that muhasabah milad makes students feel appreciated, happy and more excited so that they can foster self-motivation. The program can be understood as an innovative strategy in counseling guidance that combines emotional and spiritual aspects. This research also provides theoretical benefits by adding to the study of muhasabah in education, as well as practical benefits in the form of alternative teacher strategies to foster students' self-motivation through simple and meaningful reflective activities
