Sementara pelaksanaan bimbingan dan konseling di sekolah juga belum maksimal, lantaran program berjalan tidak jelas dan belum didasarkan pada kebutuhan dari pelaksanaannya. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan metode Research and Development dengan model pengembangan Borg & Gall. Populasi dalam penelitian seluruh siswa kelas VIII yang berjumlah 216 siswa dan teknik pengambilan sampel dengan cara purposive sampling dengan jumlah 124 siswa. Hasil uji terbatas dalam bentuk layanan kegiatan bimbingan dan konseling, dengan keterwakilan materi dari setiap kompetensi dasar, efektif dan dapat meningkatkan kematangan emosi siswa.
