Guidance, Counselling and Mentoring of Students
Prof. B. V. Appa Rao Teaching Learning Centre N I T Warangal Phone(M):
2
Guidance, Counselling and Mentoring
Teachers teach the subject sincerely during the regular periods. It is for the students to put in effort and build their career. This holds good for some students, who are highly self motivated, intelligent and can take care of themselves. This number is less. A good number of students need much more than ‘teaching the subject well’ from the teacher. That is through Guidance, Counselling and Mentoring
3
Guidance means to indicate to point out to show the way
to lead and direct
4
‘Counselling is a series of direct contacts with the individual, which aims to offer him assistance in changing his attitude and behaviours’ ---- Carl Rogers
5
Counseling involves two individuals-
One seeking help and the other professionally trained person who can help the other There should be a relationship of mutual respect between the two individuals The counsellor discovers the problems of the counselee and helps him to set the realistic goals and achieve them
6
A mentoring relationship is a close, individualized relationship that develops over time between a student and a faculty member and that includes both caring and guidance.
7
Hall (2002) defines mentoring as an intentional relationship focused on developing self of relatively unseasoned protégé through dialogue and reflection The primary function of such relationship is to develop the protégé’s learning capacity by transmitting knowledge, organizational culture, wisdom, and experiences (Mentoring Components) Ref: Hall, D. T. (2002) Careers In and Out of Organization. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.

Students make such statements as:
“I want to have a professor to talk to about issues in my field that lie beyond my research topic.” “I want someone who is willing to teach me about what it means to be a professional in my field.” “I want someone who cares enough about me to help open doors leading to job opportunities.”
9
“I am confused about my future
“I am confused about my future. I want some one to help me out of my confusion and to have greater clarity about myself, my abilities, opportunities for my abilities etc.” “ I am not able to cope up with my studies. I do not understand any thing. I hate going to the college. My parents are thinking that I will graduate and get some job. What do I do now? Can some body help me out ? Can God help me out?”(Totally desperate)
10
“ I can not cope up with the studies. I have so many backlogs
“ I can not cope up with the studies. I have so many backlogs. I am a failure. I am stupid. It is better that I discontinue my studies. Why I do I waste some more money of my parents. But, what do my parents think ? What do the neighbors and relatives think? Better I do not reveal any thing now to any body. Anxiety, Fear, Guilt feeling etc.” There are many such students in our colleges and universities, who cry for help
11
Slow Learners always need some one’s help, guidance, counseling and mentoring
In fact all students need some one’s help, guidance, counseling and mentoring at one time or the other
12
Problem of Love, Problems of adolescence, Problem of insecurity in life, Mismatch between Interest and Courses of Study, Social problems (Humiliation, disrespect, poverty, etc.) Such students need some one to share his thoughts, some one to listen to him, some one to scaffold him, some one to help him out
13
Guidance, Counselling and Mentoring
Are these concerns of students important or not? Are our colleges and universities addressing these concerns of the students ? In many universities across the world, there is a built-in- mechanism to address these concerns. That is through Guidance, Counselling and Mentoring
14
Problems of Faculty members
As one professor notes that those in academics struggle with their own needs and demands of the career, which leaves less time available to assist others. “Young faculty are supposed to be independent; a lot of times they don’t know what they are doing— teaching, committees, supervision of students, sole authorships—and there is very little support. It’s sink or swim” (Wright & Wright, 1987, p. 207).
15
Many teachers in many colleges are overloaded with more contact hours, with duties of non-teaching, non-technical and nothing to do with the institute
16
Mentoring of young Teacher by Senior Teacher is also necessary
Counselling of one teacher by other teacher (Peer Counselling) is also necessary Mentoring of students by Teachers is necessary Both are important in Institutions of Higher Education

25
BUILDING TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP
When the teachers are respected for their expertise, and appreciated for their faith in the student's abilities, they will be asked for their help, encouragement and clarification when the student needs it. In turn, the students are appreciated for their willingness to take responsibility, become involved, and do the work needed to succeed. Mutual trust and respect are built MOST rather than confrontation IMPORTANT
26
Building Positive Teacher-Student Relationship
Assist students as instructor, guide and facilitator Encourage students Understand students and their needs Foster learning that is relevant to learner’s needs Continuum of increasing student responsibility for decision making Teachers transfer control and students take greater responsibility
27
Building positive relationship with students
Greet them warmly when they arrive each day Affectionate with students Respect and caring for every student Being impartial Listening to students Making eye contact with every one Engaging in one to one Secure relationship Pleasant and calm voices
28
Strategies to build positive relationship
Help students understand class room expectations Redirect the students when they use challenging behaviour Encourage them to listen to others Acknowledge students for their effort and accomplishments Appreciate the deed or activity of the students , but not the student Never laugh at the student’s mistakes or failures. Encourage every student.
29
Total Learning Experience
Holistic Learning Experience Learning Experience, both inside and outside the classroom.
34
For any man of good will, there is work to be done here, effective, virtuous, satisfying work which can give rich meaning to one's own life and to others” ------Abraham Maslow
35
I conclude ……. ‘ If a Teacher is able to Change the Course of Lives of Students in the direction of realizing their full potential, it gives a rich meaning and fulfilment to the teacher’s life.’ My tributes are to such great teachers
