INTRODUCTION
Humans are often said to be social creatures, meaning that humans need others to interact and adapt to the surrounding environment wherever they live, besides that humans have advantages, namely reason, and mind from birth, and with that advantage, some stimuli can develop natural potentials that are below birth, these potentials can be developed and useful MelAlui Education and Guidance.So according to his nature, humans are people who have the potential and can be educated, guided, and directed toward more perfect people.In this case, the role of education is very important for humans, especially regarding cognitive, religious, and social development, hereby Erwar Aziz (2003) also suggests that: Education is a conscious guidance and demand by educators for physical and spiritual development and students towards the formation of the main personality.What is meant by the main personality here is a good personality that can be maintained and developed in harmony with the development of the personality itself.
Guidance can be defined as an integral part of the overall educational program that interacts and has a positive function, not just a collective force (Dylan et al., 2019).The most important process in the importance of guidance is the process of self-discovery.This will help the child adjust to new situations, develop the child's ability to understand themselves, and apply it in future situations.Guidance is no longer an action that is only overcoming every crisis faced by children but also a thought about the development of children as a person with all needs, interests, and abilities that must develop.
Social guidance is guidance given to students to recognize the environment so that they can socialize well and become responsible individuals (Endriani et al., 2020).The usefulness of this guidance does not need to be elaborated at length because every human being already knows from his own experience, what the consequences will be if mental struggles cannot be resolved and the mental suffering experienced when arising in the main social association is not, whether challenges and difficulties arise that concern oneself but how attitudes and actions in dealing with difficulties that arise, for example, arise some desires and feelings that arise one after another Changed from very sad to very joyful, wanting to build ideals but not knowing how (Bahri, 2017;Hastuti and Winkel, 2004).
Humans always need to open and establish communication or relationships with others.In addition, several needs in humans can be satisfied through communication with others.Therefore, students need to become skilled in communication (Pratiwi, et.al, 2002;Supratiknya, 1995) The process of behavior change is not a simple thing, because it involves all interrelated components, such as communicator conditions, target conditions, and channel conditions used (Enright et al., 2020).In addition, the situation and environment also affect the communication process.The environment must be able to create a communicative climate of communication, where students can actively participate in it using available media or channels, to achieve optimal goals.Helping children to become intelligent people is not only by sending them to famous schools or providing food that is large and varied but must also be supported by the needs so that children become intelligent people.Based on the description above, social guidance is very important given to students to recognize their environment so that they can socialize and communicate well with others and can become responsible individuals (Handayani, 2011;Both, 2017).
