ABSTRACT

This study set out to examine and analyze the in-service training needs of professional school counselors according to their career stages and thus propose directions for establishing a systematic in-service training system reflecting these career stages. The study employed a concept map, which is useful for exploring the experiences of subjects in depth and comparing small groups. The subjects are 22 in number, 11 of whom were professional school counselors in the career formation stage and the other 11 of whom were those in the career growth stage. As a result, there were 90 and 62 core sentences reflecting in-service training needs among those who were in the career formation stage and in the career growth stage, respectively. As for concept maps of in-service training needs according to career stage, the map for the career formation stage consisted of three clusters of “administration and consultation”, “counseling and self-management”, and “psychological evaluation and qualification for in-service training” in two dimensions of “man versus organization” and “formal versus informal”. The concept map for the career growth stage was comprised of four clusters of “counseling and program”, “examining the latest trends and becoming an expert in a certain area”, “psychological evaluation and qualification for in-service training”, and “consultation, research, and self-management” in two dimensions of “professionalism versus practicality” and “counselor versus client”. Based on those findings, the investigator compared professional school counselors in the career formation stage with those in the career growth stage in terms of similarities, differences, and importance, and analyzed whether to reflect the results on actual in-service training. The analysis results led to an exploration of improvement measures by the kinds of in-service training and a discussion about effective in-service training systems according to the career stages of professional school counselors.
