This chapter aims at giving teachers a comprehensive view of the origin of guidance, a historical account of the development of school guidance in Hong Kong and a good understanding of the impact of social changes on the implementation of school guidance. In this chapter, two major policies concerning school guidance in Hong Kong will be introduced: (1) Whole-school Approach to Guidance, and (2) Comprehensive Student Guidance Service. The rationale, objectives, principles and strategies of the implementation of these policies will be explained with a view to facilitating teachers’ reflection on how to make the best sense of the present approach of school guidance service in helping students become more competent to meet challenges during their growth and development.Less

This chapter begins by studying the relationship between East-West cultural traditions and guidance, before coming to a definition of ‘guidance’ and ‘counselling’ and moving on to explore the philosophical values, functions, recipients and stages of school guidance. The complementary role that discipline and counselling play in school education is emphasized, while the need to integrate discipline, counselling and teaching as one holistic educational process is also pinpointed. The chapter concludes with an overview of the development of guidance in Hong Kong.Less

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to school guidance and counselling services in Hong Kong. It draws extensively on current research in the field, with a special emphasis on how guidance and counselling could be systematically planned to meet the personal, social and educational and career needs of students. The chapters discuss how counselling could be infused into school activities by employing a team approach, wherein all staff members have specified roles to play. The book also focuses on the Confucian heritage practices in Chinese societies, such as the emphasis on examinations, the contestations between discipline and guidance, and the role of class teachers in school guidance.Less

This chapter motivates teachers to think about the possible crises that may occur in the classroom or at school, and deals with the issue of crisis management from a macro point of view, with the focus of discussion on the positive effect it may have on school guidance. From the point of view of the ‘crisis management cycle’, the government's proposal for the setting up of a crisis management committee in every school presents a good opportunity to examine the related theoretical framework, and also to cite the two different instances of ‘crises’ for analysis. The cases will be approached separately from the individual level as well as the group/school level, with discussions on the use of different intervention strategies and the intended improvement.Less

This chapter purports to introduce the development and the key points of B. F. Skinner's behaviour therapy, including the theory of conditioning, approach to human nature, behavioural function analysis, behaviour modification techniques, counselling strategies and various techniques that teachers can use. At the same time, it will clarify and correct many people's misconceptions about this theory, such as over-conditioning and negligence of emotions and feelings, so that teachers will find it more encompassing and effective when applying this theory.Less

This chapter discusses guidance for pupils in their whole person development on an individual as well as class basis, and describes the roles and functions of class teachers in Hong Kong as guidance teachers. On an individual level, it holds that the personal attributes and attitudes of the class teacher facilitate the development of a personal teacher-pupil relationship which will help the pupils enhance their self-esteem and serve as a basis for initial counselling. On a class level, the class teacher facilitates the collective growth and development of the whole class by establishing a positive class culture, showing care for maladapted pupils, and planning and carrying out year-long whole person development programmes.Less

This chapter discusses how the class teacher can foster pupils’ whole person development within a school context, and describes his/her role and functions within the larger framework of whole school guidance work. The class teacher works under the principal's leadership, collaborates with the discipline and guidance team, communicates with parents, and makes good use of support from professional sectors and the community at large. During parent-teacher conferences, he/she must be able to adopt the appropriate attitude, skills and strategies in interacting with parents of varying backgrounds and temperaments. Where a parent displays threatening or challenging tendencies, the class teacher must also be able to apply the conflict resolution approach effectively, in order to win the parent's support towards helping his/her child's growth.Less

This chapter aims to enhance teachers’ knowledge of the codes of ethics in counselling, to heighten their awareness of the ethical issues and their competence in handling them, and to highlight the need for recognizing the professionalism of counselling work. The chapter begins with an exposition of the necessity for teachers to study counselling ethics, followed by a discussion of the importance and limits of the ethical codes, covering also the significant ethical issues relevant to school counselling. In the discussions a case study format is adopted. By referring to several typical school counselling cases, the complicated and contradictory nature of ethical issues is illustrated. On the basis of the ethical codes laid down by Western and local professional counselling organizations, methods appropriate to the Hong Kong school culture and social environment are proposed.Less
