PEMANFAATAN PENASIHAT AKADEMIK OLEH MAHASISWA FAKULTAS BAHASA DAN SENI UNIVERSITAS NEGERI YOGYAKARTA
This study described the consultation opportunity, consultation materials,
reasons, academic advisors’ (AAs) responses, students’ responses, and effects of
AAs’ guidance on students’ achievement. The research subjects comprised students
of the Faculty of Languages and Arts, the Yogyakarta State University, consisting
of two groups, namely those who were interviewed (selected by the snow ball
technique) and those who were given an open questionnaire (selected by the
stratified random technique). The data were analyzed using the qualitative
descriptive technique. The data credibility was enhanced by the participation
lengthening, interview details, triangulation, and peer checking. The results were
as follows. (1) In general, the students consulted with their AAs during the
consultation period. (2) On the average, the consultation frequency was once or
twice a semester. (3) They consulted with not only their AAs but also other
lecturers. (4) They consulted with their AAs when they needed their AAs and the
AAs responded to them; they consulted with other lecturers when they found it
difficult to see their AAs, they felt scared and hesitant, and the AAs did not
respond to them. (5) Most consultation materials were academic in nature. (6) Most
AAs gave the students positive responses and only few AAs were not responsive
or indifferent. (7) Most of the AAs’ suggestions were positive and only few were
useless and irrelevant. (8) The students suggested that AAs should be easy to see,
have schedules, and conduct the consultation not in public. (9) Constraints in the
consultation included the difficulty to see AAs because they were busy, the
relationship which was not close, the students who were not open, shy, scared and
hesitant to see their AAs, and the large number of students. (10) Most students
realized the contribution of the consultation with their AAs to their achievement.
