Abstract

Every year the provincial, district or city education authorities, and other parties carry out competency improvement activities for teachers including for school counsellors. An in-depth examination of school counsellor needs will help these authorities provide appropriate training which in turn can save on budget expenditures in the long run. This study aims to examine the training needs of school counsellors. The approach used is a qualitative approach with an implementation period of three years. The subjects in this study were school counsellors who were involved in trainings carried out by the provincial and district education offices for three years, which come from all over Aceh Province. The results showed that a deeper attention on skill mastery is needed rather than conceptual coverage. Recommendation for topics and method of training are discussed.
