| Sumario: | This article presents the author's views on articles related to counselors and counseling, particularly classroom mediation by counselors. Counselors and school psychologists frequently become aware of situations where a classroom group and a teacher are in conflict with each other. For the most part when this occurs the class and teacher must somehow manage to live together for the rest of the school year. When the conflict exists for a prolonged period, the teaching-learning atmosphere becomes unproductive. The teachers. and students may become so involved in a negative interactional process that they display considerable resistance to learning. Various approaches to the problem have been used by pupil personnel staff members. One type of approach involves working with individuals or small groups of students referred by the teacher to try to effect attitudinal or behavior change. A second method has been to offer the teacher a chance to air his feelings about the situation and to explore alternatives. A more active role on the part of the consultant has involved his presence in the classroom as an observer. |
