Abstract

Jordan continues to be one of the leading host countries globally, accommodating an unprecedented number of refugee schoolchildren in its schools in refugee camps. In order to address the diverse educational, psychological, and social needs of these children, school counselors (SCs) strive to develop and implement comprehensive counseling programs. This qualitative study aimed to examine the specific supervisory needs encountered by SCs working in primary schools within the Al Za'atari refugee camp. Through the utilization of interpretive phenomenological analysis, researchers interviewed 10 school counselors to explore the supervisory needs of school counselors in Al Za’atari. Five main supervisory themes were found: specialized interventions for the refugee schoolchildren, multicultural challenges, the dynamics of the counseling relationship, diagnosis of childhood psychological disorders, and self-care and anti-burnout interventions. The findings provided valuable insights for supporting SCs in refugee camp by continues training, supervision, and suggested potential directions for future research in this domain.

探索难民学校辅导员的督导需求

约旦仍然是全球最主要的收容国之一，其难民营学校收容的难民学童人数之多前所未有。为了满足这些儿童在教育、心理和社会方面的不同需求，学校辅导员（SC）努力制定并实施全面的辅导计划。本定性研究旨在探讨在扎阿塔里难民营小学工作的学校辅导员所遇到的具体督导需求。通过运用解释现象学分析法，研究人员对 10 名学校辅导员进行了访谈，以探讨 Al Za'atari 难民营学校辅导员的督导需求。研究人员发现了五大督导主题：针对难民学童的专门干预措施、多元文化挑战、咨询关系的动态变化、儿童心理障碍诊断以及自我保健和抗倦怠干预措施。研究结果为通过继续培训和督导来支持难民营中的督学提供了宝贵的见解，并为这一领域未来的研究提出了潜在的方向。
