“…A second consideration relevant to these findings is that teachers and administrators have a tremendous impact on school counselor service utilization (Amatea & Clark, 2005;Kirchner & Setchfield, 2005;Ponec & Brock, 2000;Zalaquett, 2005). Teachers as well as principals often have a misperception about the expected role of school counselors which determine to a great extent the services that school counselors actually provide to students (Reiner, Colbert, & Perusse, 2009;Ponec & Brock, 2000). Perhaps the frequent individual counseling activity as well as consultation regarding student behavior may be related to the belief of teachers and principals that school counselors are available primarily for remedial services, such as responding to student behavior (Borders, 2002;Fitch, Newby, Ballestero, & Marshall, 2001).…”

“…In addition, it is observed that administrators and guidance teachers who work at preschool education institutions also state that they do not have enough knowledge and experience to provide guidance services in preschool education and that they received a limited number of courses on this subject during their undergraduate education (Aliyev, 2012). Teachers appreciate and admire the role of school counselors but believe that guidance services need to be improved and enhanced (Reiner, 2009). Scruggs, Wasielewski and Ash (1999), included the opinions of parents, school staff and students on counselors in their study conducted with groups of children from preschool to 12nd grade, and revealed that the majority of the school staff (76%), parents (52%) and secondary school students (57%) who participated in the study believed that psychological counselors were engaged in other activities rather than counseling at school.…”

The goal of this study is to develop a Guidance Qualification Scale for Preschool Teachers and examine the validity and reliability of the scale. The research was conducted with 374 teachers working in preschools in Istanbul and they were chosen by the random sampling method. Factor analysis was carried out for the construct validity of the scale. Internal consistency coefficients and test-retest reliabilities were examined and item analysis was performed for reliability studies. As a result of the factor analysis, 59 items which explained 55,989% of the total variance (Total Variance Explained 45,050%), were obtained under four factors. When the factor weights of the scale are examined, items were found to have weight values ranging from .746 to .453. Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficients of the “Preschool Teacher’s Guidance Qualifications Scale” were found to be .977 for the total scale, .954 for the "Supporting Educational Development and Interpersonal Relationships" sub-dimension, .943 for the "Supporting Individual Development and Orientation" sub-dimension, .904 for the "Self-acceptance, Support for Self and Social Development" sub-dimension and .909 for the "Recognizing Individuals, Identifying Problems and Supporting Parents" sub-dimension. Also, the test-retest reliability study of the scale was conducted with 44 teachers. According to the results of the t-test applied for differences between the average item scores of upper 27% and lower 27% groups of items on (in?) the scale, all differences were found to be significantly in favor of the upper 27% group. In light of these findings, it can be said that the “Preschool Teacher’s Guidance Qualifications Scale” can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool in the field of education.

“…In a study, examining the extent to which high teachers' schools from the United States believed that school counsellors should engage in a variety of tasks endorsed as appropriate or inappropriate by ASCA. It was found that high school teachers would be supportive of school counsellors who want to engage in roles consistent with those endorsed by ASCA, particularly assisting students in academic, career, and personal/social development (Reiner, Colbert & P erusse, 2009). Thus, consultation on professional matters is more important for teachers to the extent that they almost ignore the need for personal consultation.…”

Results The main findings indicated that Arab teachers consult the educational counsellors more for professional than for personal matters. Further, there are no differences between female and male teachers consulting counsellors on professional and personal issues.
