Abstract
One hundred and twelve Chinese primary school teachers in Hong Kong were surveyed to
understand their perceptions of counselling values and guidance programmes in their schools.
Results indicated that the teachers shared the counselling values of counselling psychologists
more than those endorsed by psychologists in general, as they prized the humanistic qualities.
Although they rated the guidance activities to be implemented to a certain extent, the
endorsement levels were found to be predicted by their counselling values, instead of
reflecting how far the programmes have been actually implemented. The findings show that
years of teaching experience and counselling-related training had an effect on their
endorsements of the general psychology values which are more scientific and theory-oriented.
Teachers’ responses to open questions, and the potential contributions of counselling
psychologists to the Comprehensive Student Guidance Service in areas of policy and
organization, supportive service, personal growth education, and responsive service, are
discussed.
