현직 전문상담교사의 업무수행 경험에 기반한 학교현장실습 개선방향 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of pre-service school counselors’ school field practicum and explore ways to improve it by examining the work performance experiences and perceptions of in-service school counselors regarding school field practicum. Methods To achieve this purpose, a Focus Group Interview was conducted for seven school counselors working in Seoul and non-Seoul schools or provincial offices of education. The inductive analysis was performed for the collected qualitative data. Results As a result of the analysis, it was found that the school counselors participating in the study perform tasks such as counseling, crisis case management, operation and administration, consulting and training, and teaching at the school or provincial office of education. And, it was found that they had experienced counseling, operation and administration, and teaching in school field practicum when they were pre-service school counselors. In school field practicum, the participants experienced teaching, operational and administrative work necessary for subject teachers. However, they rarely experienced counseling and crisis case management, which are most important for school counselor’s work. In addition, the school counselors expressed a need for the school field practicum improvement in terms of the content, timing, duration, supervisor, and manual. Conclusions These results imply that the school field practicum of the pre-service school counselors is not related to the work of the school counselors. This study suggested five aspects to improve the school field practicum of pre-service school counselors. The study is significant in that it examined the effectiveness of school field practicum and suggested the directions for improving the practicum based on the in-service school counselor’s work experiences.

An Exploratory Study of the Potential of Online Counseling for University Students by a Human-Operated Avatar Counselor.

Recently, the use of digital technologies, such as avatars and virtual reality, has been increasingly explored to address university students' mental health issues. However, there is limited research on the advantages and disadvantages of counselors using avatars in online video counseling. Herein, 25 university students were enrolled in a pilot online counseling session with a human counselor-controlled avatar, and asked about their emotional experiences and impressions of the avatar and to provide qualitative feedback on their communication experience. Positive emotions during the session were associated with impressions of the avatar's intelligence and likeability. The anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, and intelligent impressions of the avatar were interrelated, indicating that the avatar's smile and the counselor's expertise in empathy and approval may have contributed to these impressions. However, no associations were observed between participant experiences and their prior communication with avatars, or between participant experiences and their gender or the perceived gender of the avatar. Accordingly, recommendations for future practice and research are provided. Accumulating practical and empirical findings on the effectiveness of human-operated avatar counselors is crucial for addressing university students' mental health issues.

Beyond Teachers: Estimating Individual School Counselors’ Effects on Educational Attainment

Counselors are a common school resource for students navigating complicated and consequential education choices. I estimate counselors’ causal effects using quasi-random assignment policies in Massachusetts. Counselors vary substantially in their effectiveness at increasing high school graduation and college attendance, selectivity, and persistence. Counselor effects on educational attainment are similar in magnitude to teacher effects, but they flow through improved information and assistance more than cognitive or noncognitive skill development. Counselor effectiveness is most important for low-income and low-achieving students, so improving access to effective counseling may be a promising way to increase educational attainment and close socioeconomic gaps in education.

Evaluating the effectiveness of concurrent sessions and counselors' attention allocation in online counseling.

With its anonymity and accessibility, text-based online counseling has shown great potential in reaching people with mental health needs. One strategy adopted to meet the service gap is concurrent counseling, that is, each counselor attending to more than one client at a time. To date, there is no reported evidence supporting its rationality and effectiveness. This study investigated the potential opportunities, effectiveness, and caveats in concurrent service delivery and identified the optimal cutoff number of concurrent sessions while maintaining the quality of service at or above a set threshold. We analyzed the transcript of 54,716 online counseling sessions from Open Up, a free, 24/7 text-based counseling service, to develop an attention score that measures the attention allocation of counselors and examined the impact of the counselor's attention allocation on client satisfaction and service outcomes. On average, compared to nonconcurrent sessions, concurrent sessions were longer, more likely to end prematurely, and had lower client satisfaction. We also identified an optimal attention score of approximately 0.4 (out of 1.0, which denotes full attention), which translates to two to three concurrent sessions. This study provides empirical evidence for the feasibility of conducting multiple text-based sessions concurrently without compromising service quality and client experience. Our method of measuring the counselor attention allocation offers a way to systematically assess and evaluate concurrent sessions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
