A Case Study on the Function of Psychological Counseling of Weekly Logs

Abstract

Mentor's work is not only to establish a routine of classes but also to offer students psychological counseling. Under the system of a school, it is still unclear between mentors and school counselors. To the extent that what a mentor should do is to be first aid in emergency. Weekly logs can be a good helper for mentors to read important messages which are not perceived by students themselves. This study aims to analyze two current mentors of vocational high schools by engagement motivation, ecosystems theory, and theory of narrative therapy. The result shows that weekly logs seem to be zero psychological distance between the mentor and the student, but to get involved into students inside heart, through them, is a long way to go. Weekly logs work only if they are carefully evaluated with enough attention.
