The Role of Social Support as a Motivating Factor for Students' Enthusiasm for Learning from Juvenile Delinquency

Abstract

This Student Creativity Program (PKM) from Universitas Pamulang aims to provide education on the importance of social support as a driving factor for learning motivation among students at SMK Al Fajar who are vulnerable to juvenile delinquency. The program was carried out through counseling sessions, group discussions, and learning assistance involving the active role of teachers, parents, and peers. The expectation is that students will understand that social support not only serves as a safeguard against deviant behavior but also as a source of motivation to achieve better academic performance. The results of the program showed an increase in students’ awareness of the significance of social support in daily life, marked by improved attendance, greater engagement in classroom activities, and a reduction in involvement in negative behaviors. Through this program, students not only received educational insights but also experienced tangible benefits in the form of stronger learning motivation and the development of a more positive school environment.
