Abstract

Abstract School counsellors often encounter ethically challenging situations due to contradictory values and roles. This qualitative research aimed to define school counsellors’ ethical dilemmas and their responses to such situations. Twenty-seven school counsellors in Turkey were asked to respond to 13 vignettes with ethical dilemmas. The most frequent ethical dilemmas involved the limits of confidentiality, confusion about counsellors’ professional roles in school settings, uncooperative behaviours among stakeholders, and suspected child sexual abuse. It was revealed that counsellors prioritise the students’ benefit and respect students’ privacy. They follow legal guidelines in risky situations and insist on working within their areas of competence; they are not willing to accept noncounselling tasks. The results and implications for counsellors, counsellor educators and researchers are discussed.
学校辅导员的道德困境:一项小插曲研究
摘要由于价值观和角色的矛盾,学校辅导员经常遇到道德上具有挑战性的情况。这项定性研究旨在界定学校辅导员的道德困境及其对这种情况的反应。土耳其的27名学校辅导员被要求回答13个道德困境的小插曲。最常见的道德困境涉及保密的限制、对辅导员在学校环境中的专业角色的困惑、利益相关者之间的不合作行为以及疑似儿童性虐待。据透露,辅导员优先考虑学生的利益,并尊重学生的隐私。他们在危险情况下遵循法律准则,并坚持在其职权范围内工作;他们不愿意接受非销售任务。讨论了研究结果及其对辅导员、辅导员教育工作者和研究人员的启示。
