The development involved expert validation (media and material experts), practitioner review, and field trials. Data were collected using feasibility checklists and student feedback. Results show The product achieved high feasibility scores from experts (usability = 93.75%, feasibility = 87.5%, accuracy = 95%, overall validity index = 92%, categorized as very valid). Students reported increased awareness of their strengths and weaknesses and showed higher engagement in guidance sessions. Conclusion of this study Fisball D’Brooks is a practical and valid media that supports guidance learning and helps students improve their understanding of self-concept.
