Abstract

This study aimed to assess students' proficiency in utilising Information and Communication Technology-based advice and counselling services. The analysis was conducted considering factors such as gender, semester level, and age range. The research method employs a quantitative approach by utilising a questionnaire instrument consisting of a total of 33 items. The study participants consisted of a saturated sample of 32 postgraduate students, meaning that the entire population was included in the research. The data were analysed via a quantitative descriptive methodology and t-test. The results from the study showed that the competency score of male students was higher than that of females, but the results of the different tests obtained a score of 1.092 with a sign of 0.291 (> 0.05), which explained that the hypothesis was accepted, namely the two average competencies of male and female students. There is no difference. While the competence of second-semester students obtained a lower competency score compared to the fourth semester with the acquisition of a t-count value of 2.082 with sign 0.046 (<0.050), it can be concluded that there are differences in the competence of students II and IV in applying Guidance and counseling (BK) services through ICT-based media. Generation Y student competencies get higher scores in height compared to Generation X with the acquisition of t count 2.243 with sig 0.32 (<0.050), which explains that there are differences in the competence of students of Generation X and Y so that students in the age range of 22-41 years more able to apply the media of ICT-based guidance and counseling services compared to students aged 42-62 years.
