Abstract

Teachers have three roles in carrying out their duties, namely the role of educators, instructors and mentors. The role as an educator is always required to be a role model in his steps both in the school environment and in the community, then the role as a teacher always provides knowledge in accordance with his field in a humanistic manner, while the role as a supervisor is to deliver students to be able to overcome their own problems with encouragement and attention to his personality. Misperception about the task of implementing guidance and counseling services in schools is only done by guidance and counseling teachers, it seems that there needs to be an improvement in the perception of subject teachers. Therefore, to change this, universities as prospective subject teacher printers must provide guidance and counseling courses with explanatory content leading to the role of subject teachers as supervisors.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Effective or ideal education is education that integrates three main areas of activity in synergy, namely the administrative and leadership fields, the instructional or curricular fields, and the fields of guidance and counseling. The reality in the field, based on the author's experience as a teacher and principal in one of the junior high schools in Karawang Regency, is that there are still many subject teachers who are given additional duties as guidance and counseling teachers. This is due to the fact that there is still a shortage of education personnel for guidance and counseling teachers, so for the ongoing process of providing education the principal provides additional tasks for subject teachers to become guidance and counseling teachers. This is in line with the results of research in a thesis entitled "Mathematics Learning Nuanced Guidance and Counseling" that mathematics subject teachers can substitute their guidance and counseling services during the course of teaching and learning activities.
