motivation to develop their potential towards better, 2) As for the supporting
factors in the implementation of guidance groups in overcoming student learning
difficulties are: a) sufficient number of BK teacher personnel and clear division of
tasks, b) Good coordination between BK teachers, homeroom teachers, Madrasah
Head Assistants (PKM/WKM), Madrasah Principals and parents of students, c)

implementation of group guidance in overcoming student learning difficulties are:
a) Internal factors (originating from within the students themselves), b) Student`s
residence is relatively far from school, c) Muslim minority environment, and 3)
while the effectiveness of implementing group guidance in overcoming student
learning difficulties has a very significant impact especially in terms of reducing
