The study reported on in this article explored the perceived psychosocial and educational impact on educational communities by alumni of the North-West University who completed their Bachelor of Education Honours degree in Educational Psychology. This programme has been running since 2003 and aimed at training registered counsellors who need to pass the Board of Psychology examination of the Health Professions Council of South Africa to be qualified as registered counsellors. To achieve the aim of this study, telephonic interviews were conducted to gather data from the counsellor alumni of the 2007, 2013, 2014 and 2016 cohorts. In total, 18 participants voluntarily participated in this qualitative research study. The participants’ perceptions were analysed using inductive content analysis; the findings suggest that counselling is an add-on skill for these alumni, utilised only on a part-time or secondary basis, as the overwhelming majority work as teachers in educational settings. The psychosocial and educational impact from a registered counsellor’s perspective seems to be limited as most of them are teachers and only some provide counselling services in the educational environment where they work. The implications are that some adjustments in the training of registered counsellors – from a holistic wellbeing framework – need to be made, as that the category should be intensively marketed. Keywords: alumni; educational impact; mid-level communities; psychosocial; registered counsellor

在南非教育学院注册心理咨询师培训：我们是否在影响教育社区？

本文报道的研究探讨了西北大学完成教育心理学教育荣誉学士学位的校友对教育社区的感知心理社会和教育影响。该计划自2003年开始运行，旨在培训需要通过南非卫生专业委员会心理委员会考试才能获得注册辅导员资格的注册辅导员。为实现本研究的目的，进行了电话访谈，以从 2007、2013、2014 和 2016 年队列的辅导员校友中收集数据。共有 18 名参与者自愿参与了这项定性研究。使用归纳内容分析法分析参与者的看法；调查结果表明，咨询是这些校友的附加技能，仅在兼职或中学基础上使用，因为绝大多数人在教育环境中担任教师。从注册辅导员的角度来看，心理社会和教育影响似乎有限，因为他们中的大多数是教师，只有一些人在他们工作的教育环境中提供咨询服务。这意味着需要对注册辅导员的培训进行一些调整——从整体福祉框架——需要进行一些调整，因为该类别应该被集中营销。关键词：校友；教育影响；中层社区；社会心理；注册辅导员 从注册辅导员的角度来看，心理社会和教育影响似乎有限，因为他们中的大多数是教师，只有一些人在他们工作的教育环境中提供咨询服务。这意味着需要对注册辅导员的培训进行一些调整——从整体福祉框架——需要进行一些调整，因为该类别应该被集中营销。关键词：校友；教育影响；中层社区；社会心理；注册辅导员 从注册辅导员的角度来看，心理社会和教育影响似乎有限，因为他们中的大多数是教师，只有一些人在他们工作的教育环境中提供咨询服务。这意味着需要对注册辅导员的培训进行一些调整——从整体福祉框架——需要进行一些调整，因为该类别应该被集中营销。关键词：校友；教育影响；中层社区；社会心理；注册辅导员 这意味着需要对注册辅导员的培训进行一些调整——从整体福祉框架——需要进行一些调整，因为该类别应该被集中营销。关键词：校友；教育影响；中层社区；社会心理；注册辅导员 这意味着需要对注册辅导员的培训进行一些调整——从整体福祉框架——需要进行一些调整，因为该类别应该被集中营销。关键词：校友；教育影响；中层社区；社会心理；注册辅导员
