碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 97 === The purpose of this study was to understand junior high school counselors’ need for receiving supervision in Taiwan. The discussion was focused on: (a) what their current and ideal supervision were; (b) how their need for supervision arose; (c) what may hindered them from receiving supervision; and (d) what suggestions could be given as to how to establish the junior high school counselor supervision system. Twelve junior high school counselors (4 males and 8 females; aged 28-42) were invited to receive a semi-structured interview, and the collected data were analyzed by the Consensual Qualitative Research method. This study had obtained the following results and discussion: The need for supervision of junior high school counselors in Taiwan basically reflected difficulties and challenges arose from their working environment, where there appeared a gap between the training they used to receive and the real side they saw and experienced. What’s worse, supervision was not really available from the working environment, along with some other external and personal interference, so that the need for supervision of these junior high school counselors had not yet been satisfied. Therefore, the whole situation had been drawn back to where it was, just like a cycle. Moreover, junior high school counselors’ past experiences of receiving supervision formed the basis for their expectations for ideal supervision, included the functions, the orientations and the suitability of supervision. It also definitely became a cognitive standard for ideal supervision, as well as a criterion for judging whether the current supervision was perfect. Finally, based on above finding and discussion, this study tried to propose an ideal supervision system and some suggestions for junior high school counselors, school counselors training institutions and authorities concerned as well as the future studies.
