Furthermore, the results of the analysis using the Paired Sample T Test were obtained where the mean value of the experimental group was 48.143 greater than the control group of 23.174. The significance value in the experimental group is 0.000 <0.05. It can be concluded that the experimental group counseling technique using structured learning approach technique is more effective when compared to the control group given group counseling discussion technique.
