This alpha generation is those who grew up in an increasingly sophisticated digital era, with extensive access to technological devices such as tablets, smartphones and computers. This study aims to describe how to build learning independence in the alpha generation: challenges and solutions for guidance and counseling teachers. The research method uses a qualitative approach with this research method using the literature research method. The results of the study revealed that in this study showed that Guidance and Counseling teachers face a number of unique challenges in facilitating learning independence in the Alpha Generation. These challenges include dependence on technology, lack of intrinsic motivation, and difficulty in managing time effectively. In addition, this study also discusses solutions that can be implemented by guidance and counseling teachers to overcome these challenges. One of the proposed solutions is the wise use of technology. Guidance and counseling teachers can teach the Alpha generation about the healthy and productive use of technology, and encourage them to develop critical and creative skills in using technology. It is hoped that building learning independence in the alpha generation can help guidance and counseling teachers find solutions in facing challenges that may be faced by guidance and counseling teachers
