Abstract
In recent years, the issue of enhancing psychological counseling skills for teachers at secondary schools has begun to receive attention from educational management levels. However, the effectiveness of psychological counseling for students remains limited. During the counseling process, many teachers rely primarily on personal experience, lacking structured and appropriate skills. This highlights the pressing need for improved management of professional development in school psychological counseling for teachers. Based on theoretical foundations and practical survey results, this study surveyed 45 educational administrators, 450 teachers, 300 parents, and 300 students at PTDTBT secondary schools in Dien Bien Dong district. The study employed scientific research methods, particularly data analysis using SPSS 22.0 software. The results of the research shed light on the current state of professional development in psychological counseling, identifying both strengths and weaknesses, and propose several feasible solutions to improve its effectiveness, aligning with the current demands of educational reforms.
Tóm tắt
Trong những năm qua, công tác bồi dưỡng năng lực tư vấn tâm lý học đường cho giáo viên tại các trường trung học cơ sở đã bắt đầu được chú trọng, tuy nhiên hiệu quả vẫn còn hạn chế. Việc tư vấn tâm lý chủ yếu dựa vào kinh nghiệm cá nhân của giáo viên, thiếu vắng các kỹ năng chuyên môn bài bản. Điều này đặt ra yêu cầu cấp bách về việc nâng cao năng lực tư vấn cho đội ngũ giáo viên. Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện dựa trên cơ sở lý luận và khảo sát thực tiễn qua bảng hỏi với 45 cán bộ quản lý, 450 giáo viên, 300 phụ huynh và 300 học sinh tại các trường phổ thông dân tộc bán trú trung học cơ sở huyện Điện Biên Đông. Phần mềm SPSS 22.0 được sử dụng làm phương pháp xử lý số liệu. Kết quả nghiên cứu đã làm rõ thực trạng về công tác bồi dưỡng, chỉ ra các điểm mạnh và yếu. Từ đó, các giải pháp được đề xuất nhằm nâng cao hiệu quả bồi dưỡng, đáp ứng yêu cầu đổi mới giáo dục trong bối cảnh hiện nay.
