Abstract

Abstract Starting from the importance and purpose of school counselling, the article highlights the content-methodical specifics and assumptions of effective counselling work with students, and gives a brief overview of the practice of school counselling in Serbia. On that basis, this study aimed at examining school counsellors’ experiences in counselling elementary/primary school children (e.g., reasons for counselling, ways of implementation and difficulties). A sample of 81 school counsellors participated in a semistructured interview. The results show that undesirable behaviour and learning difficulties are the most common reasons for counselling, initiative is mainly coming from teachers or counsellors, and individual work and corrective counselling are more common. The difficulties respondents mentioned mainly related to the students’ personalities. The experiences of practitioners imply that the counselling practice insufficiently appreciates the importance of an integrative-systematic approach in student counselling. In this regard, the conclusion provides some recommendations that could contribute to improving the practice of counselling in schools in Serbia.

辅导小学生——塞尔维亚学校辅导员的经验

摘要从学校咨询的重要性和目的出发，重点介绍了有效的学生咨询工作的内容、方法、细节和假设，并简要介绍了塞尔维亚的学校咨询实践。在此基础上，本研究旨在调查学校辅导员在为小学/小学儿童提供咨询方面的经验（例如，咨询的原因、实施方式和困难）。81名学校辅导员参加了一次半结构化访谈。结果表明，不良行为和学习困难是咨询的最常见原因，主动性主要来自教师或辅导员，个人工作和矫正咨询更为常见。受访者提到的困难主要与学生的个性有关。从业人员的经验表明，咨询实践没有充分认识到综合系统方法在学生咨询中的重要性。在这方面，结论提出了一些建议，有助于改进塞尔维亚学校的咨询做法。
