Urgency of ECPM-Based BK-SD Services (Executive Collaboration Patnership Motivation)

The limitations and difficulty of finding counseling teachers according to the expected competencies are still a separate obstacle for some SD (Elementary Schools) in Indonesia. At least 130,000 counseling teachers are needed for SMP and SMA/equivalent, not including counseling teachers at SD/equivalent. The shortage in the number of counseling teachers is far from ideal. There must be a solution from the government and schools, in particular, which demand that a number of schools be able to develop mechanisms related to services and guidance for students. Therefore, the implementation of counseling services in elementary schools is based on Executive Collaboration Partnership Motivation (ECPM) as an alternative to solving this problem so that the implementation of counseling services in elementary schools runs optimally. The research design is Research and Development (RnD) from Borg and Gall and the design model adapts the development from McKenny. The research procedure is based on 10 (ten) Borg and Gall designs which are modified into 3 (three) stages: (1) Preliminary study; (2) Design Development; and (3) Final product testing. Some of the advantages offered by the management of BK services in EPCM-based SD (Elementary School) carried out by school principals are, executive collaboration partnerships in the implementation of collaboration or partnerships between schools and parents and the community, as well as motivation related to the use of the latest technology in the form of information technology, such as like the internet with all the amenities. The implementation of EPCM-based services and guidance has never been done by researchers before. With the implementation of EPCM-based counseling services, it is expected that problems with the implementation of counseling services at the elementary school level which have been carried out by inclusive class teachers with the implementation of the learning process can be solved.
