Modern information technology as a highly efficient tool may therefore play an important role in improving the ways and process of student counseling and establishing good counseling environment to lighten the burdens of counselors and better the effectiveness of student counseling. From scholarly articles, we understand rapidly developed network technology and its on-line counseling and guidance mode are getting important. Currently numerous counseling institutions at home and abroad have put their network counseling into their services, a new auxiliary channel opening for counseling work. Although the application of network counseling and guidance mode may take place of the existing counseling mode, there are still many questions and doubts raised so far. Nevertheless, the features of network privacy and convenience provide positive help in metal counseling through the auxiliary channel of network counseling and guidance. This research focuses on if it is feasible to build up on-line counseling and guidance systems at middle schools. This research is conducted based on questionnaires surveying students and teachers at middle schools, then, make analyses of the surveyed information with a statistic analysis method. Therefore, some application of information, such as information knowledge of students and teachers, their network involvement, on-line environment and network security, etc, can be gathered. Furthermore, the objects to be helped, their willingness, and ways of counseling can be learned and applied to understand the willingness of students and teachers in their requirement and their use of on-line counseling and guidance. The research thus assesses the feasibility of building up an on-line counseling and guidance system at school. From the questionnaires, we have found that current students and teachers have good-than-average abilities in terms of their basic information knowledge, network involvement and on-line environment, yet in general they consider network privacy is not sufficient. At the aspect of counseling application, most express that they do not often use the counseling channels that school provides, but they are willing to use the on-line counseling and guidance system, especially for the students who rely on counseling channels showing higher desire for the use of on-line system. The research thus draws a conclusion: with both good information ability and information environment, plus users’ requirement and willingness, it is feasible for us to build up on-line counseling and guidance at middle school.
