碩士 === 中臺科技大學 === 文教事業經營研究所 === 107 === A qualitative approach was adopted in this study. Based on purposive sampling, this study selected novice counseling specialty teachers in Hsinchu City of a certain year to form the sample population. Using a self-developed questionnaire, this study collected data from eight of these counselors. Later, in-depth interviews were conducted to investigate the counseling experiences of three of them. After the interview, this study applied phenomenology as the methodology to analyze the data collected from each participant. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The factors affecting these novice counseling specialty teachers’ future career choice can be classified into five themes, each having two sub-themes. 2. Theme 1: Two professional roles. The sub-themes include duo roles and work time. This factor affected teacher F to choose to be a homeroom teacher and take full-time counselor as the second option. 3. Theme 2: Feedbacks. The sub-themes include gaining feedbacks from clients and gaining feedbacks from class management. The former factor affected teacher H and teacher E to opt for full-time counselor, while the latter factor influenced teacher F and teacher G to choose to be a homeroom teacher. 4. Theme 3: Institutional culture. The sub-themes include school system and inter-school differences. Due to certain limitations in the school system, teacher B and teacher C were unable to become a part-time counselor. Inter-school differences have reduced teacher G’s intention to stay in the current role. 5. Theme 4: Personal reflections. The sub-themes include the importance of counseling and insights gained from administrative tasks. The importance of counseling has affected teacher B and teacher C to have higher willingness to stay in the current role, while insights gained from administrative tasks have affected teacher E and teacher H to seek transfer to be a full-time counselor. 6. Theme 5: Work environment. The sub-themes include positive work environment and negative work environment. This theme has an impact on the degree to which the counselors were involved in their part-time or full-time counseling tasks. 7. A teacher’s certificate annotated with counseling specialties has three positive impacts: (1) it provides the possibility to become a full-time specialized counselor, (2) it establishes the professionalism and improves the professional skills of the teacher, and (3) the teacher has an advantage when applicants are in excess of quota. 8. A teacher’s certificate annotated with counseling specialties has four negative impacts: (1) it provides no merit in the position selection system of the school, (2) the career choice may be limited, (3) professionalism may be doubted, and (4) it does not provide a clear picture of counseling tasks.
