Description

<p>Among the activities of school counselors (SCs), consultations with teachers are considered important; therefore, a model that can be used by novice SCs is needed. This study was aimed at creating a practice model for SC-Consultation that is in line with the current state of SC-Consultation in Japan. First, a model which reflects the features of SC-Consultation in Japan as identified in previous research was proposed. Next, to confirm the model’s potential and to find points for improvement, this model was used in training novice SCs with under three years experiences; it was a combination of SC-Consultation lectures and examining participant’s own cases. Results of pre- and post-training questionnaires and group interviews confirmed that the practice model provides novice SCs with a framework for the basic understanding of SC-Consultation, enabling SCs to look back on their own consultations, to examine issues, and then to connect them to future practice. The model was continuously revised based on findings for improving the significance of supporting teachers and psychological assessment. As future research themes, the study suggested bias in participant’s previous work experience and type of school, distinction between the influence of the practice model and the training itself, and SC-Consultation about preventive activities.</p>
