Adolescence is a time when someone has negative behavior, a difficult phase for children and parents. Emotional imbalance and instability in many ways manifest itself at this time. Emotional inconsistency in adolescents causes adolescents to act responsively such as aggressive, rebellious, stubborn, annoying behavior, which results in social problems in interacting with those around them. The aggressive behavior of students in schools has become a universal problem, and is likely to increase recently. The purpose of this study was to see the application of group counseling to decrease the aggressive behavior of high school students. Another objective of the study is to examine the differences in the application of group counseling before and after treatment. Purposive sampling and aggressive scales were used in this experiment, to obtain 20 samples consisting of 10 students in the control group and 10 students in the experimental group at SMP Negeri 13 Surabaya who were recorded as having committed aggression at school. The rule used is a quantitative approach to analyzing data. The results of the field survey showed that students often protested and disrespected teachers, cursed, cursed, made chaos, made noise, said indecent words, and lied.

The misconception of the Solar System topic is still found in students so that it becomes one of the obstacles in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Predict-Observe-Explain-Apply (POEA) learning to change the junior high school students' conception in the Solar System topic. Quasi-experimental research with the non-equivalent control group design was conducted in one of the private junior high schools in Bandung city. Samples were selected based on the test of the average significance of the pretest score of the population. Furthermore, 30 students of the experimental class and 32 students of control class were selected. The research instrument, which consisted of 15 four-tier diagnostic test questions about Solar System were used to collect data before and after treatment. The tests were analyzed quantitatively by using the Mann-Whitney statistical test to determine the significance of the difference in the acceptable conception changes (Acceptable Change) of students in the experimental class with changes in the conception of students in the control class. The results of the research show that the implementation of POEA learning is significantly more effective than POE learning in changing the conception of Solar System topic. The findings of this study can be an alternative for junior high school teachers in planning learning about the Solar System, especially in an effort to change students' misconception about the Solar System.
