  • Abstract The Research of the Elementary School Teachers・ Perspectives toward School Guidance Work and Students Guidance
                      Abstract
           The main purpose of this research is to explore the elementary classroom school teachers・ and guidance teachers・ perspectives toward students guidance and school guidance work, to further understand the difficulties that might be encountered on guiding students and the promotion work of guidance, and also, to analyze and compare the similarities and differences among these perspectives. The participants are selected by adopting criterion sampling of purposeful sampling. To select 10 elementary school teachers (including 6 classroom teachers and 4 guidance teachers), and utilize the insight interview method of qualitative research, which is semi-structural open interview method to collect information. After inductive analysis, the conclusion of the research are as follows:
          A. Perspectives of Students Guidance:
          1. Teachers・ cognition toward students guidance varies with
           individual experience.However, guidance in stronger demand
           tends to focus on correcting students'' misbehavior, not on
           developing or preventing oriented guidance.
          2. Teachers are deeply aware that guidance cannot be hasty, and
           usually is not effective within a short time. Classroom
           teachers・ insistence is that students do not be transferred
           to the guidance office.
          3. Classroom teachers・ mental transformation toward guiding
           misbehaved students begins with endeavor stage, then
           couldn''t-do-anything-to-help stage, and at last, passively-
           accept-everything stage; while guidance teachers endeavor to
           eliminate sense of powerlessness, and constantly believe
           that students would eventually feel teachers''efforts for
           them.
          4. Teachers tend to focus their time and efforts on guiding
           misbehaved students; therefore they spend relatively less
           time on ordinary students.
          5. When guiding students, common difficulties encountered by
           guidance teachers and classroom teachers are: (1) failing to
           cooperate owing to family problems, (2) lack of guidance
           time, (3) insufficiency of teachers・ professional guidance
           ability, (4) limitation of individual student''s own
           problems.
          6. Teachers all recognize with the actual function of tracing
           guidance and individual case records; however, they do have
           difficulties to carry out these plans.
          B. Perspectives of School Guidance Work
          1.The guidance office has a function of providing assistance,
           which proves to be inefficient; students seldom voluntarily
           seek help through the guidance office.
          2.Teachers tend to hold negative attitude toward evaluating
           schools''guidance work .
          3.Schools・ guidance meetings are not routinely held as
           schedule appointed, and the effectiveness of the meetings is
           downsized.
          4.The main reasons that cause guidance teachers unable to
           perform effective guidance work are: (1) heavy workloads
           without sufficient manpower to handle, (2) ambiguous ideas of
           classroom teachers・ guidance attitude, (3) failing to cope
           with classroom teachers, (4) failing to retain school
           principals・ support, (5) heavy workloads of classroom
           teachers.
          5.Most interviewed teachers (8 out of 10) think that classroom
           teachers stand in the front line of guidance work, guidance
           teachers simply play the role of assistance, and providing
           resource; only minority of them (2 out of 10) vice versa.
          6.The content of guidance study should be mainly practice
           oriented.
          7.Most teachers (7 out of 10) approve and support that
           counselors exert their professions at elementary
           schools ;only minority of them (3 out of 10) have no comment
           on this point.
          8.Teachers・expectations toward future guidance work: first,
           schools・ guidance office is expected and demanded most to
           transform in full scale; schools・ administrative units are
           expected to support and cooperate, decrease the number of
           students in each class, enhance the cooperation with family
           system, clarify every school employee・s guidance concept,
           reduce classroom teachers・ teaching hours, and to multiply
           guidance manpower, finance, and equipment.
          C. Perspectives on the similarities and differences between
           guidance teachers and classroom teachers
          1.Perspectives on student guidance and school guidance work
           between classroom teachers and guidance teachers are mostly
           in common, and different in some specific points.
          2.Different perspectives on students guidance are: (1) guidance
           perspective toward misbehaved students, (2) the obstacle of
           students guidance, which is the perspective of failing to
           cope with parents, and the degree of seriousness of
           students・misbehavior, (3) reasons that cause the lack of
           guidance time,(4) inability to carry out tracing guidance and
           individual case records.
          3.Different perspectives on school guidance work are:(1)
           functions of the guidance office, (2) workloads of the
           guidance office, (3) perspectives on voluntary individual
           guidance system, (4) practical effect of small group
           guidance, (5) distribution of guidance work responsibilities,
           (6) professional guidance personnel hired in school.
           Finally, based on the results of the research, some concrete suggestions toward practical affairs of elementary school guidance work and further studies are proposed.
          Key words: students guidance, school guidance work,
               teachers・perspectives.
