ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore how teachers perceive barriers to consultation with school counselors. For this purpose, the opinions of 16 teachers working in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Chungcheong, and Daegu were collected through one-on-one interviews and qualitatively analyzed using the concept-mapping method. A second set of data was gathered to classify the similarity and importance of the teachers’ statements through one-on-one interviews or the mail. The data was analyzed using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses. The results were as follows. The barriers to the consultation with school counselors as perceived by teachers were represented in 51 statements. Dimensional statement analysis revealed two dimensions: (a) ‘School counseling’s traits - School counselors’ traits’ and (b) ‘Psychological difficulties - Environmental difficulties’ Hierarchical cluster analysis identified 5 clusters: ‘The responsibilities as homeroom teachers interfere with communication with counselors’, ‘Teachers lack of awareness of their ability to seek consultation with counselors’, ‘Teachers lack of trust in school counselors’, ‘Perceptions of the school counselors’ role and lack of relevant experience with school counselors prevent teachers from seeking consultation‘, and ‘School counselors are overworked due to the school counseling environment’ The most important cluster was ‘Teachers lack of trust in school counselors’.
