Abstract

Addictive substance abuse and other addictive behaviors have become a significant problem among students. However, ironically, many educational institutions are still minimal in providing special counseling services to deal with addiction. This is due to a lack of resources, training, and attention to the importance of prevention and treatment of addiction through counseling in the educational setting. Therefore, the FIP UNIMED Guidance and Counseling Study Program added the Addiction Counseling course as a new course in the last two years. It is said that this course is a new course, so the availability of teaching materials and modules is not yet available.
This research aims to develop an introductory module for addiction counseling based on the Outcome Based Education (OBE) curriculum for students at the Faculty of Education, State University of Medan (FIP UNIMED). This module is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concepts, types, and impacts of addiction, as well as effective counseling techniques in dealing with cases of addiction. The OBE approach emphasizes the achievement of specific and measurable learning outcomes, and focuses on a student-centered learning process.
This research also highlights the lack of implementation of addiction counseling in educational institutions, even though the problem of addiction is increasingly urgent in the community. With this module, it is hoped that educational institutions can be more responsive to the needs of students who need addiction counseling services. This module is expected to improve the quality of guidance and counseling services, as well as reduce the negative impact of addiction in the community. In addition, this research has the potential to make a positive contribution to the development of the educational curriculum in Indonesia, as well as become an example for other educational institutions in developing teaching modules that are relevant to the needs of students and society.
