Perception and Self-Efficacy of Students in the Peer Mentoring Program (PRS)

Abstract

This study aims to identify the perception and self-efficacy of students who follow the Peer Mentoring Program (PRS) at the Vocational College. This is qualitative research using the interview method through psycho-educational group counseling sessions. This study involved a sample of six PRS students consisting of students aged 16 and 17 years. As a result of the group sessions, three main themes were identified by the objectives of the study, namely the perception of students following the Peer Mentoring (PRS) program, students' self-efficacy in becoming Peer Mentoring (PRS) and action plans that can be taken to become Peer Mentoring ( PRS) that are effective. The implications of the study show that guidance in terms of formal communication is very necessary and the researcher hopes that this study can help other researchers see PRS's perception and self-confidence in helping other peers.
