Politeness is an important aspect of students’ social interactions, but its practice in school life still needs to be strengthened, particularly in the use of polite language, respect for teachers, and consideration for others. This study aimed to describe students’ levels of politeness and analyze the differences in their scores before and after participating in classical Guidance and Counseling (GC) services using the role-play technique. The study employed a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving 33 students from class X-3 at SMA Negeri 3 Mandrehe, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a politeness instrument and analyzed using a Paired Samples t-Test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that the students’ mean politeness score increased from 43.36 on the pretest to 90.61 on the posttest, representing a difference of 47.25 points. The Paired Samples t-Test yielded (t(32) = 24.316), with a significance level of (p < 0.001), indicating a statistically significant difference between politeness scores before and after the service. These findings indicate a change in students’ politeness scores following the implementation of classical GC services using the role-play technique, although the absence of a control group means that the change cannot be attributed entirely to the service provided. ABSTRAK Sopan santun merupakan aspek penting dalam interaksi sosial peserta didik, tetapi penerapannya dalam kehidupan sekolah masih perlu diperkuat, terutama dalam penggunaan bahasa yang santun, penghormatan terhadap guru, dan penghargaan terhadap orang lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan tingkat sopan santun peserta didik serta menganalisis perbedaan skor sebelum dan sesudah mengikuti layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK) klasikal dengan teknik role play. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain One Group Pretest-Posttest, yang melibatkan 33 peserta didik kelas X-3 SMA Negeri 3 Mandrehe melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan instrumen sopan santun dan dianalisis dengan uji Paired Samples t-Test berbantuan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor sopan santun meningkat dari 43,36 pada pretest menjadi 90,61 pada posttest, dengan selisih sebesar 47,25. Hasil uji Paired Samples t-Test menunjukkan nilai t(32) = 24,316 dengan signifikansi p < 0,001, sehingga terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara skor sopan santun sebelum dan sesudah layanan. Temuan ini mengindikasikan adanya perubahan skor sopan santun setelah pelaksanaan layanan BK klasikal dengan teknik role play, meskipun desain tanpa kelompok kontrol belum memungkinkan perubahan tersebut diatribusikan sepenuhnya kepada layanan yang diberikan.
