AbstrakMenulis Jurnal Belajar (Writing learning journal) dalam teknik konseling termasuk dalam salah satu media yang dapat membantu peserta didik meningkatkan kemandirian dalam belajarnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode ekperimental dengan rancangan true experiment pretest-posttest control group design. Hipotesis yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini diuji dengan menggunakan teknik analisis wilcoxon signed-rank non-parametric test dan wilcoxon signed-rank non-parametric test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis pertama yang berbunyi “kemandirian belajar mahasiswa setelah diberi perlakuan (posttest) dalam kelompok eksperimen, lebih tinggi daripada kemandirian belajar mahasiswa sebelum diberi perlakuan (pretest)” berhasil secara signifikan terbukti. Tidak seperti pada hipotesis yang pertama, hipotesis kedua, dan ketiga dalam penelitian ini, ternyata tidak secara signifikan terbukti. Analisis hasil yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teori-teori yang dikembangkan terkait wrtiting learning journal (menulis jurnal belajar), teknik konseling Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), self regulated learning (kemandirian belajar), dan konseling lintas budaya.AbstractTHE EFFECTIVENESS OF WRITING-LEARNING JOURNAL COUNSELLING IN ENHANCING SELF-REGULATED LEARNING (THE PERSPECTIVE OF CROSS-CULTURAL COUNSELLING). Counselling by means of writing learning journal is a medium through which to help students enhance their self-regulated learning. The current research tested this idea using true experiment pretest-posttest control group design. Hypotheses in the current research were examined on the basis of wilcoxon signed-rank non-parametric test and wilcoxon signed-rank non-parametric test. The results supported the first hypothesis stating that “in the experimental group, students’ post-test self-regulated learning were significantly higher than students’ pre-test self-regulated learning. However, the second hypothesis and third hypothesis in the current research were unsupported. Theoretical and practical implications of the current research  were discussed through the lens of theories on  writing-learning journal, a counselling technique of rational emotive behavioral therapy, self regulated learning, and cross-cultural counseling.
