Keywords:
Homeroom Advisers, Guidance Counselors, Activities, InvolvementAbstract
This study focused on the participation of the homeroom advisers and the guidance counselors in the implementation of the homeroom guidance activities so as to propose a model for homeroom guidance program for the elementary pupils in the four educational Districts of Catbalogan. The descriptive-developmental survey method was used in this study using the questionnaire as the main instrument in gathering the data, this study was conducted during the school year 1999-2000. The total grand mean of both the homeroom advisers and guidance counselors in their involvement on the implementation of homeroom guidance activities along personality development is 3.88 which means that the two groups of respondents were “highly involved”. Both respondents have suggested the following solutions to problems they met in homeroom guidance as 1) Provision of homeroom guidance kits; 2) Lesser teaching loads of homeroom advisers; and 3) Provisions for a definite homeroom guidance period. For the conclusion, the majority of the homeroom advisers and guidance counselors involved in this study were female and belong to the middle age group which suggests that they have the motherly instinct and the maturity for child development. For the recommendation, Guidance counselors should be encouraged to take up masteral studies, specifically on guidance and counseling, to equip them with professional training.
