Analysis on Early Settlement of Professional School Counselors

Although professional school counselors have been distributed into individual schools since 2007, the field of professional school counseling has been in confusion due to the lack of school counseling model that suits the reality of our national school settings and the lack of an appropriate work guide. The main purpose of this study is to analyze conditions and issues in professional school counseling system in the early phase of the distribution and accordingly to offer a suggestion on an effective settling method. For this purpose, we ran 3 focus group interviews to the principals, chief career counselors and professional school counselors in schools where professional school counselors have been distributed and analyzed the qualitative data by the method suggested by Morgan and Scannell(1998). As a result, some contributions were found in activating school counseling after the distribution; but many problems were revealed due to controversy around the departmental assignment, confusion caused by the lack of work guide, dispute about the class participation, conflict and tension among other professionals, disregard and neglect of school counselor's specialty and quality, and discontent about current training and employment system, etc. Based on the result, effective initial settlement plan on professional school counselor system has been suggested on school counselors' role and work duty, position and distribution, and quality and training. It is expected to help stabilize the settlement of school counselors and to minimize initial trial and error and therefore to proceed the development of school counseling of our country.
