Abstract

ABSTRACT School counsellors in Hong Kong constitute an underutilised resource in supporting the wellbeing of young people. We investigated how counsellors working in local and international schools perceived their roles and professional status. Counsellors were both surveyed and interviewed. Findings indicate that local school counsellors have a low professional status and an unclear identity compared to their international counterparts. As a group, they are marginalised and disempowered within their own school settings, reducing their effectiveness, and limiting the benefits they can provide to students. Policy innovation at school level is needed to better utilise school counsellors. Professional organisations have an important role to play in educating the community about school counselling and advocating for policy change at school and government levels.

香港学校辅导员的经验:对政策创新的启示

在香港，学校辅导员是一种未被充分利用的资源，可以为青少年提供健康的支持。我们调查了在本地和国际学校工作的辅导员如何看待他们的角色和职业地位。对辅导员进行了调查和访谈。调查结果表明，与国际学校辅导员相比，本地学校辅导员的职业地位较低，身份不明确。作为一个群体，他们在自己的学校环境中被边缘化，被剥夺了权力，降低了他们的有效性，并限制了他们可以为学生提供的好处。为了更好地利用学校辅导员，需要在学校层面进行政策创新。专业机构在教育社会大众有关学校辅导的知识，以及倡导学校和政府层面的政策改变方面发挥着重要作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
