Student Counseling - Science topic

Families should monitor the academic status of students and schools should monitor the mental and physical status of students from the family in addition to the academic status. And for the complete health of students, these two factors must have a mutual and proper relationship with each other.

Here are a few

Having worked in microbiology for years, including providing accredition sampling to meat testing. I found there was a limit to how far I could go. Having a life long love of learning I decided to go back to school and pursue a masters in counselling psychology.

Since opening a private practice www.mindsetsolutionscounselling.ca I have found my passion and can changed direction as my interests and knowledge increase.

Thanks, I need to catch up and read the Palgrave Handbook. Having said that, as far as I know, many of the Positive Education interventions did not use standard measures of depression or in some cases, wellbeing, to evaluate outcomes. But I should read up on the latest.

Hello Aymal,

My personal opinion is that there is no solution that relies solely on I.T., even allowing for new techniques such as machine learning, social media, A.I. and so on. It still requires the intervention of a trained human to embrace the intricacies of the labour market and the individual client. But you might like to look at Vigurs, K; Everitt, J. S. T.; The evidence base for careers websites. What works? The Careers and Enterprise Company, 2017 , as a starting point . Probably

you have already read it?

best regards

David

Why should not drink alcohol? There should be a class on this subject and they should be given a project on this topic, which will bring awareness among the children that they should not drink alcohol.

Toufik Zerrouki I work with career guidance as a field of interest and as a teacher at the Master Program of Career Guidance at the University of South-Eastern Norway. We educate students for an MA working with career guidance also at university level. The aim is less "wrong" or "better" choices for the students getting guidance. My own experience is that guidance existed, but noone I knew used it. I chose the combination of philosophy and pedagogy with no guidance. The combination was not mainstream, so I might have benifited from making my own decisions. At the same time we see many students getting guidance feeling more secure about their choices and also discovering possibilities they did not know about before guidance.

You have to

1) Learn: Some extra knowledge so that you will be able to answer the unexpected asked questions

2) Read : the data you have at least 3 times so you wont forget some points

3) Practice: To earn the audience trust and confidence you have to be familiar with the material you are presenting. So just practice, presenting in front of mirror or talking to wall or someone.

For Delivering

1) Be assertive not aggressive

2) Make contact with the audience by eye contact, Gestures and by use of your language

3) Engage the audience by asking questions from them which will make them alert

4) Don't talk too much on a point, this will make the audience bored.

just be yourself you don't act like classical actors or stand up comedian if you think they'll be impressed on that. Just be yourself.

I think the best way is to provide opportunities for students to meet and interact with success stories in the entrepreneurship domain. This will launch students on the path. Then, a good step would be to engage students in workshops and training opportunities on basics of business skills for entrepreneurship. Additionally, competitions and startup weekends can be a great start for students to showcase their ideas and receive positive feedback to mold and develop their ideas.

Thank you so much, Aran and Raid. Really helpful - at least I know where to start from now!

There are multiple steps required for student's recognize importance of research at an early stage of their studies. 

a) Encourage students to read latest published research papers and journals.

b) Give students assignments based on research and analysis

c) Assign them research problems 

d) Encourage them to write research papers

While this article is about intercultural studies, it does offer alternatives to the binaries Hofstede's model through the context of culture-based subjectivity. If this specific article doesn't help it might at least start you down a citation trail to work that does.

Hi Eric,

Hope the attached links provide you some helpful literature.

It seems that there are only very few 'good peer reviewed articles' related to your research topic. Nevertheless you may try looking for books as references for your research, such as the one given in the link below:

Doubling as a counselor both at the workplace and the training school let me share my experience of well over 9 years of practice. I hear your question Denis and with the increase in tertiary education uptake in most African countries this is/or aught to be a concern for most institutions. As the numbers of students increase, there are notable variations in their ages, diversity in cultures, socio-economic status, health and academic/career needs to name but a few all which potent counseling issues in the learning institution. To be meet the diversity in needs and enhance functionality of individual students/educator there is need to individualize the counseling services offered. To make the counseling service effective, professionalism is key - ethical practice of confidentiality, UPR, client autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence etc  aught to be observed.  Embracing group and individual sessions, advocacy, awareness raising on various topics and well as community outreach activities and research. How to ensure this happens includes continuous professional development for the counselors and institutional good will in the development of counseling services, more so in countries where this is a 'new profession'. It is also important for institutional counselors to share best practices with others in their region. 

As suggested by Saleh FA, use power analysis to get tour sample size.

Hi we have previously run a series of workshops for students who have been identified at risk of failing modules/exams. https://prezi.com/p7ntr8bso41b/say-goodbye-to-academic-stress/

You first need to define which kind of psychological well-being you want to measure. There are several instruments available for measuring individual level psychological well being:

Satisfaction with life Scale (for cognitive domain of subjective well-being)

Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS; for affective component of subjective well-being)

Ryff & Keyes' Scales of Psychological Well-Being (for measuring wellbeing in a eudaimonic perspective, seemingly the most relevant for your interest)

Keyes's Mental Health Continuum Scale (based on previous models especially the PWB model, the most up-to date of all, as far as I know)

I did not referred to the publications because there is always a possibility of finding updated versions of all the scales in many languages. You can just start searching by using the names of the scales.

Time is scarce at university level. Students have to feel that being involved in a counselling program is useful for them and that have an instrumental design.

I may suggest that you create small courses or workshops where you preview explore with them practical components of career development (how to elaborate a CV, good sources to find a job, vocational exploration, decision making difficulties, etc).

It may be interesting for them to have similar workshops regarding other themes that are congruent with their current development stage, such as study method at university level, time management, tips to help daily life organization away from home.

These workshops are an excellent way to introduce the message that psychologist may help them in several areas and the they are not only there for treating severely disturbed psychiatric patients.

Hope can you find these tips helpful

Hugs.

1. Establish a safe, trusting environment

2. CLARIFY: Help the person put their concern into words.

3. Active listening: find out the client's agenda

       a) paraphrase, summarize, reflect, interpret

       b) focus on feelings, not events

4. Transform problem statements into goal statements.

5. Explore possible approaches to goal

6. Help person choose one way towards goal

DEVELOP A PLAN (may involve several steps)

7. Make a contract to fulfill the plan (or to take the next step)

8. Summarize what has occurred, clarify, get verification

9. Get feedback and confirmation

You may want to look into counselor-client relationship.  In what we call counseling relationship  there are elements such as facilitation, influence, student or client's characteristics, counselor's characteristics and a host of psychological variables underlying this teaching - learning relationship.

Thank you for sending me this link Dr Matar, I will be following it up later today.

As a commercial head scientist, it is crucial that technical research staff (routine unskilled measurements carried out by unthinking technicians is a different matter) are able to understand the experiments that they are undertaking. This is no longer for academic learning, but for real-life work and I believe that the academic instruction of university undergraduates should adequately prepare students for the real world after university.

This means that they need to be able to demonstrate to me that they can rephrase any background theory while capturing the true meaning - this means rephrasing is an essential skill. It encourages the student to think about what they read and to be able to rephrase it they need to be able to understand the underlying concept thereby forcing it deeper into their brain. It is this ability that allows a research scientist to be better at evaluating the progress of their research. Sure many will start off poor at this skill, but all the more reason for developing it in an academic context.

Hello Maria

in fact, I announced the call for papers as the editor of the journal, so I'm not preparing any contribution. The call is open yet so go ahead with it!
