Kepercayaan Diri Siswa dalam Menyampaikan Pendapat Saat Proses Pembelajaran di Kelas Xl-4 SMAN 8 Medan

Abstract
This article discusses the issue of self-confidence crisis among students of class XI-4 at SMAN 8 Medan in expressing their opinions during the learning process. This phenomenon leads to passive classroom interaction, where students tend to remain silent, hesitant to ask questions, and afraid to answer due to psychological barriers in the form of speech anxiety. The purpose of this article is to identify the factors causing low self-confidence, describe the behavioral manifestations of anxiety, and design an interactive, solution-oriented strategy. The methodology employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including open-ended questionnaires distributed to 35 students, in-depth interviews with the subject teacher, and field documentation. The results indicate that students' low self-confidence is predominantly driven by internal factors, such as the fear of negative evaluation and physical responses like nervousness or trembling. Furthermore, a rigid teaching approach in the classroom influences students' willingness to speak by up to 80%. As a solution, the implementation of an innovative strategy through the "Talk or Challenge" game using a paper ball relay proved effective in reducing speech anxiety, triggering instant critical thinking skills, and fostering a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative peer-support ecosystem.
