Abstract Development Of An Islamic Group Guidance Model Based On KBS (Knowledge Based Societ. This research aimed to develop a model for Islamic group guidance based on the KBS (Knowledge Based Societ. This model has significant potential for effectiveness and maximum results. The subjects were fifth-year Islamic Guidance and Counseling students. The research method used was quantitative research, with data collection aided by questionnaires, interviews, and The pre-test results showed that there were 6 students with an average score of 76. After being given group guidance, the 6 students were asked to complete the post-test and the average result Based on the results of the paired sample t-test analysis, it can be obtained that the calculated t is greater than the t table, namely 041> 2. 571 and Sig. = 0. 000 < 0. 05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. So it can be concluded that the Islamic group guidance model based on KBS (Knowledge Based Societ. is proven to be The characteristics of the KBS (Knowledge Based Societ. approach in Islamic group guidance lie in the activity stage which presents the concept of a social order which places the mastery, creation, processing and utilization of knowledge and information technology (ICT) as the main drivers of economic, social and cultural Keywords: Group Guidance. Islamic Group Guidance. KnowledgeBased Society A. Introduction Science is knowledge that can lead the way to truth. In today's millennial era, many people are active, creative, and innovative, creating a Knowledge-Based Society. Throughout their lives, society is inextricably linked to the role of technology in navigating the currents of development and preventing them from being left behind. The development of technological mastery in developed countries has demonstrated the need for knowledge in information and communication technology. The primary needs of students in a knowledge-based society are 21st-Century Skills and Soft Skills. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. Students must be able to analyze information, evaluate data, and solve complex problems. Creativity and Innovation. The ability to create new solutions, especially in the creative economy. Collaboration and Communication, the ability to work collaboratively in diverse teams, including in hybrid/remote work environments. Adaptability, the ability to continuously learn . ifelong learnin. and adapt to rapid change. Time Management: Effective time management for productivity (Snyder & Snyder. In short, the needs of students in this era are a combination of high-level cognitive abilities (HOTS), digital skills, and a strong character to manage knowledge to solve social problems. Guidance and Counseling Services are unable to meet the challenges of the digital era, such as those related to Knowledge Management (Maharani & Karneli, 2. Knowledge Acquisition.

Various perspectives on intellectual capital on the objectives and practices of different disciplines have emerged. their definitions, approaches, and assessment methodologies may be equivalent or very contrasting. 2008 global information technology report by the World Economic Forum. Indonesia's level of information technology mastery was relatively low. Indonesia ranked 76th, lagging behind Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore . Malaysia . , and Vietnam . (Economy. Carunia, & Firdausy, 2. In building a knowledge society (Knowledge Societ. , openness to information is something that is absolutely necessary for the community. In his speech at the Information and Communication Technology for Indonesia conference. Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono stated that a knowledge society is the implication of the entry of information after previously through agriculture and In this society, they realize the usefulness and benefits of information and utilize information into value-added changes in improving the quality of life. At the end of 2019. Indonesia experienced extraordinary changes that had never happened in previous years, namely the entry of Covid-19 (Corona Virus Disease . , which had a major impact on the limited interactions of people's lives. Related to limited interactions, knowledge gained during education was also affected by Konseling Edukasi: Journal of Guidance and Counseling the presence of Covid-19. However, before the impact spread further, the Minister of Education and Culture issued a Circular Letter regarding Study From Home (SFH). This policy aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to maintain productive learning activities. The COVID-19 outbreak has not only forced students to study from home, but also required teachers to be more creative in working, teaching, and providing services from home (Tilak & Kumar, 2. This also applies to guidance and counseling teachers, who, before the COVID-19 pandemic, were able to provide services to students easily, face-to-face in the counseling room and easily read students' body language (Pedroso et al. , 2. Now is the time for guidance and counseling teachers to innovate more actively and creatively in providing services to students, of course, through online services. The development of learning concepts produced by a counselor is a form of professional competence. Self-development is like a seedling that can grow abundantly and bear fruit, the results of which can be felt. The potential of a guidance and counseling teacher or counselor that can be developed can range from physical abilities, knowledge, emotions, empathy and sympathy, religious abilities, conscience, and others. All of this is carried out through self-will as an integrity of self-improvement (Hartini et al. , 2. From an educational perspective, the role of guidance and counseling teachers is inseparable from the task of student development. Growth and development have different meanings. The term "growth" is defined as a quantitative change, visible in numbers, related to physical changes such as a child's height. The term "development" is specifically defined as changes in a person's mental and psychological well-being, such as those related to aspects of knowledge or insight, intelligence, social skills, manners, religious beliefs, and so on (Setyawan, 2. It is evident that information and communication technology (ICT) is the key driver for Socio-economic development. As a result, the Namibian government is committed to promoting the ICT sector as a pillar to create a digital economy and knowledge-based society (Kamutuezu, 2. According to Natawidjaja, the definition of guidance is a process of providing assistance to individuals which is carried out continuously, so that in the future the individual can understand himself, so that he can and is able to direct himself, and can act naturally, in accordance with the demands and conditions of the madrasah environment, family, society, and life in general (Natawidjaja, 2. Meanwhile, according to Prayitno . , mentoring is assistance provided by an expert to one or more individuals, including children, adolescents, and adults. The goal is for the individuals being mentored to develop their own abilities by utilizing their own knowledge and available resources (Aryani et al. , 2. Meanwhile. Winkel . 5: . defines guidance as an effort to equip individuals with knowledge, experience and information about themselves to understand and use efficiently and effectively all the opportunities they have for their personal determine choices and set goals appropriately, and draw up realistic plans to adapt to the environment in which they live (Lopez & Snyder, 2. Wibowo . defines group guidance as a group activity, where the group leader provides information and directs discussions so that group members become more social, to help group members in achieving the desired shared goals. Group guidance is a guidance service provided in a group setting (Len et al. , 2. The definition of knowledge proposed by Machlup . 2, p. is characterized by a broad and downright simple recognition of the term, ie anything that is known by someone. "Knowledge is both what we know and our state of knowing it. Information as that which is being communicated becomes identical with knowledge in the sense of that which is known" (Machlup, 1962: . identified five types of knowledge Ae practical, intellectual, small-talk and pastime, spiritual and Auun-wantedAy(Machlup, 1962: 22-. (Rafa, 2. Konseling Edukasi: Journal of Guidance and Counseling Figure 2. 1 Knowledge Based Society Research on knowledge-based development from the developed world context may have limited relevance to developing countries which have been shaped by different historical, cultural and political forces and mindsets (Hector. The terms 'information society' and 'knowledge society' are frequently used interchangeably to denote a society where knowledge has become the most important production factor, there exists a culture of knowledge production supported by a higher level of education especially teacher education and the focus is not only on the use of modern Information and Communication Technology, but also on content, meaning and knowledge and knowledge-based skills (Kumar. Method This research can be used to determine the form of innovation in guidance and counseling learning in the pandemic era based on a knowledge-based society. The type of approach used in this research on innovation in guidance and counseling learning is the RnD (Research and Developmen. Method. The steps taken in this research and development only use 7 of the 10 stages developed by Borg and Gall, including: preliminary study, planning, development of a hypothetical model, review of the hypothetical model, revision, limited trial, revision of the trial results (Setyawan, 2. Population is the total number of analysis units whose characteristics will be estimated. The population in this study is all 5th semester Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling students of the Faculty of Tarbiyah, totaling 103 students. According to Suharsimi Arikunto, if the research subjects are less than 100, it is better to take all of them, but if the population is more than 100, then 10% - 15% or 20% - 25% or more can be taken. The sample in the study is a portion of the population that represents all the characteristics of the population. Sampling in this study, the researcher used the sampling technique, namely Proporsional random Sampling, where this sampling technique is carried out by selecting members as samples without differentiating the opportunities that exist in the population. Key Pillars of Measurement Knowledge Based Sosiety (KBS). According to research, measuring a knowledge-based society is often based on four or five key pillars: ICT Infrastructure: Access to the internet, computers, and information technology. Human Capital: Education level, literacy, and technical skills. Content and Innovation: Production, collection, and distribution of knowledge, including the number of patents and scientific publications. Affordability: Economic accessibility to technology and knowledge. Institutional Environment: Policies that support innovation and knowledge dissemination. Discussion Research and Development Stages This development research refers to the development model and Borg & Gall, which is limited to a few stages. These stages include data collection, planning, development, validation, and validation revision. The following explains each stage of this development research: Research and Information Collecting. esearch and data collectio. The results of the analysis and problems in this study were carried out by means of field studies to schools in the Pati residency and its surroundings by interviewing BK teachers, then the data obtained from the occurred focused on evaluating the implementation of learning and providing Guidance and Counseling services after the Covid-19 pandemic. The renewal of guidance and counseling service delivery models following the COVID-19 pandemic Konseling Edukasi: Journal of Guidance and Counseling requires guidance and counseling teachers to master various new Students implementation of online learning. This situation has led to innovations in guidance and counseling services, including Islamic group guidance services, utilizing the Knowledge-Based Society (KBS) theory.

Meanwhile, the average post-test score after being taught using the Islamic group guidance model based on the KBS method was 83 with a standard deviation of 4. The statistical hypothesis is as Ho: The Islamic group guidance model based on KBS (Knowledge Based Societ. has proven to be ineffective. Ha: The Islamic group guidance model based on KBS (Knowledge Based Societ. has proven to be effective. The basis for decision making is based on the calculated t value with the t If thitung > t tabel, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted If thitung < t tabel, then Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected. Konseling Edukasi: Journal of Guidance and Counseling Based on table 4. 5 regarding the t-test . aired sample t-tes. above, it shows a significant difference between the results before and after being given the KBS-based Islamic group guidance model. To see the t-table value, it is based on the degrees of freedom . , which is N-1, namely 6-1 = 5. The dk value = 5 at a significance level of 5% obtained t-table = 2. Based on the results of the t-test analysis . aired sample t-tes. , it can be obtained that t count is greater than t table, namely 37. 041> 2. 571 and Sig. = 0. 000 <0. 05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. So it can be concluded that the KBS-based Islamic group guidance model (Knowledge Based Societ. is proven to be effective. Development Results Development Process The results of the research on the development of the Islamic group guidance model based on KBS were carried out through 7 stages of development, namely Research and Information Collecting . esearch and data collectio. , namely by identifying existing problems in schools throughout the Pati residency and its surroundings related to the evaluation of Distance Learning BK during the Covid pandemic.

Main field Testing (Main Product Field Tes. the implementation of the trial was carried out by providing participants with group guidance and providing a satisfaction questionnaire regarding the group guidance provided with a score of 92. which indicates a high level of satisfaction. Operational Product Revision (Product Revisio. this revision was improved based on the evaluation of the group guidance that had been given and the assessment questionnaire from participants, namely about conditioning the group atmosphere before entering the core activity. This model development process was carried out in stages to produce a feasible model for Islamic group guidance based on KBS. Validation was conducted by a validator during this development process. This validation was intended to obtain data that could then be revised or improved to achieve a model that is feasible and useful for users. The results of this study indicate that the model development conducted is feasible for use, based on the validation results by the validator as a trial product of the model development, namely the development of a KBS-based Islamic group guidance model. The stages in this group guidance include forming groups by accepting each participant or group member openly. This is then continued with establishing group dynamics as a transition before entering the core activity. Once the group dynamics have been formed, the next step is to enter the core stage, namely discussing the topic thoroughly. What distinguishes this KBS-based Islamic group guidance model is that group members are given the freedom to express their thoughts. This demonstrates and reflects a knowledge-based Once the topic has been discussed, the final stage is the closing and follow-up planning for the next activity. Freedom of thought in the Islamic context, often associated with intellectual tradition and ijtihad, synergizes deeply with the principle of Shura . Shura is not simply a decision-making mechanism, but Konseling Edukasi: Journal of Guidance and Counseling rather a space that liberates, empowers, and guarantees the right of every individual to voice their opinions . reedom of thought/expressio. without Here's how freedom of thought synergizes with the principle of shura in Islam: Shura as a Forum for Freedom of Opinion: Shura demands participation, consultation, and openness, where each participant has the right to express their thoughts or ijtihad. This aligns with the Islamic principle of not restricting freedom of expression as long as it seeks the Foundation for Decision-Making. Shura is founded on the principles of justice, equality, and freedom of thought, ensuring that decisions are based on consensus (Nasda, 2. Intellectual Freedom (Ijtiha. Islam encourages freedom of thought and intellectual exploration (Hashish. In the context of shura, this freedom is used to debate or provide input, even to leaders, which is recognized as part of Islamic tradition (Rahman, 1. Constructive Limits. This synergy does not mean going too Freedom of thought in shura is limited by sharia principles which aim for the public good . l-malahat al-'amma. and prevent social division or Effectiveness of Islamic Group Guidance Model Based on Knowledge Based Society Testing the effectiveness of the KBS-based Islamic group guidance model was carried out by conducting a pre-test and post-test by giving a questionnaire of 30 questions filled out by 6 BKPI students of class A5KIR. Based on the pre-test results, there were 6 students with an average score After being given group guidance, the 6 students were asked to fill out the post-test and the average result was 108. It can be seen that the KBS-based group guidance model has proven effective as evidenced by the results of a very significant decrease, namely a decrease of 32 points. So it can be said that this KBS-based Islamic group guidance model is effective. Conclusion This research has successfully developed a Knowledge-Based Society (KBS)-based Islamic group guidance model through seven stages of the Borg and Gall method that has been tested as highly feasible by experts with an average score above 90. The implementation of this model has proven effective in improving students' knowledge-based behavior, as indicated by a significant increase in the average score from 76. re-tes. ost-tes. as a solution to the low literacy of KBS and the challenges of post-pandemic guidance and counseling evaluation. Although very effective, this model is still limited to the higher education level, so it is recommended for future researchers to adapt the material to elementary and secondary education levels and continue the development stages to mass production to expand the use of the model in guidance and counseling practices more widely.
