Self-esteem is a person's attitude towards their views and beliefs about themselves, including accepting all their weaknesses and strengths and always appreciating and seeing themselves positively without feeling disappointed with what they do.

A sample of 8 students with low self-esteem levels was taken from this population using a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using a non-test instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results of this study indicate the significance of the value of asymp. Sig (2-tailed) is smaller than 0.05, namely 0.011. Therefore, it can be concluded that group guidance services using the homeroom technique effectively increase students' self-esteem.
