This study aims to determine the effectiveness of group guidance services with role-playing techniques in reducing communication anxiety in speaking in front of the class among students at Islamic junior high schools (Madrasah Tsanawiyah).
This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. Eight students were selected based on their high levels of anxiety from the pre-test questionnaire. Data were collected using an anxiety scale structured based on Jeffrey S. Nevid's characteristics of anxiety, encompassing physical, behavioral, and cognitive aspects. The statistical analysis results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores, with a 2-tailed significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05) and a t-test of 10.154. This indicates that group guidance services using role-playing techniques are effective in reducing student anxiety. Therefore, the hypothesis of this study is accepted.
