Abstract

Students' cultural diversity awareness or cultural sensitivity is not only related to social attitudes but also has implications for value development, character building, and scientific literacy. However, research on the role of guidance andcounselingservices in increasing students' awareness of cultural diversity in Indonesia remains relatively limited. This article aims to provide an overview and evaluation of the contribution of guidance andcounselingservices to increasing students' awareness of cultural diversity in Indonesia over the past decade. Methodologically, this process follows the basic idea ofNarrative Literature Review (NRL). The research results show that over the past 10 years, the role and contribution of guidance andcounselingservices in increasing students' awareness of cultural diversity in Indonesia have been minimal, with only 8 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Meanwhile, the service approach employed emphasizes guidance rather thancounseling. The results of this study can be used for evaluation and recommendations to guide and counsel teachers or schoolcounselors, as well as researchers in Indonesia, in continuing to provide optimal guidance andcounselingservices that increase students' awareness of cultural diversity.
