This research is titled "Development of a Counseling Model Based on Mahatma Gandhi's
Teachings." The primary objective of this study is to develop a counseling model that integrates
the values of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings such as ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truthfulness),
brahmacharya Swadeshi and Seva Darma to help students address their personal and
academic issues. This research employs a qualitative approach with a model development
method involving material experts and media experts in the validation of the resulting product.
The initial phase of the study involved literature review and in-depth interviews with
counseling and education experts to identify key principles of Gandhi's teachings relevant to
counseling. The developed counseling model was then tested through simulations and feedback
from experts to ensure its effectiveness in an educational context. The research findings
indicate that the counseling model based on Mahatma Gandhi's teachings is effective in helping
students develop skills in self-control, truthfulness, empathy, and simple living.
Additionally, this model creates a peaceful and supportive counseling environment where students feel
safe to share their feelings and challenges. Implementing this model in schools can strengthen
students' character and motivate them to become better individuals and contribute positively to
society. The study concludes that applying Gandhi's values in counseling can be an effective approach
for students' personal development. Recommendations for further research include conducting
broader scale trials and involving various educational contexts to comprehensively measure the
effectiveness of this mode
