Abstract

The Tengger tribal community has a cultural appeal accompanying the beauty of Bromo
Mountain, Indonesia. This native tribe of Bromo Mountain has cultural values as the meaning of life for
every member of the community, including the children as junior high school students with a Tengger
cultural background. Based on this condition, the development of Tengger culture-based counseling
techniques is needed to help the process to fulfill their experiential values of their meaning of life. The
technique that considered appropriate with this goal is the self-statement technique. The method used is
a research development with two objectives, namely to develop self-statement techniques based on the
Tengger culture to fulfill the experimental value of junior high school students, and theoretical testing
through the acceptability assessment of the experts. The development results shown by the theoretical
acceptability and feasibility of self-statement techniques based on Tengger culture obtained procedurally
and contextually. These results refer to the existence of self-guides in the self-statement technique which
is a form of reflection, and meaning of all student’s life experiences that originate from the cultural life of
the Tengger he/she lived.
