Description Self-Efficacy of Students Who Experience Fatherlessness (Death) at SMP Aceh Besar

Abstract

The absence of a father in the family (fatherless) can affect a person's development patterns, especially in terms of their self-efficacy regarding their own ability to achieve specific goals. The purpose of this study was to determine the self-efficacy of students who experienced fatherlessness (death) at Aceh Besar Junior High School. The researcher used a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research population consisted of all students at SMP Aceh Besar who experienced fatherlessness, totaling 94 individuals. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The data collection technique used the self-efficacy scale developed by Bandura. The data analysis technique used was quantitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that almost all students have a moderate level of self-efficacy, with a percentage of 94.7% (89 students) with sufficient and adequate self-confidence, but not consistently stable, because it is influenced by certain situations. A small number of students were in the high category, namely 5.3% (5 students), with stable and positive self-esteem. No students had self-efficacy levels in the very high, low, or very low categories. The results of this study can be used as a reference for creating guidance and counseling programs for fatherless students so that they can have more optimal self-efficacy in preparation for the next level.
