Guidance Teacher Skills and Strategies for Coping with Student Academic Burnout

Abstract

This academic article aims to 1) investigate the skills of guidance teachers in addressing student burnout and 2) explore strategies for managing student burnout. The study finds that burnout in students is a consequence of academic stress, leading to physical and emotional exhaustion. When students are unable to manage the stress they face in their studies, they may exhibit behaviors such as social withdrawal, a lack of enthusiasm for learning, working, or participating in various activities. To prevent student burnout, it is crucial to identify preventative measures, remedial actions, or strategies to manage this condition. Guidance teachers must possess certain skills, including 1)counseling skills, 2)using psychological tools skills, and
3) organizing guidance activities skills. These skills enable guidance teachers to effectively manage and prevent burnout in students, helping them to overcome their current challenges and rekindle their motivation for learning. Guidance teachers should apply these skills to drive change in four key areas: 1) school ethos, 2) whole-school organization, 3) pastoral provision, and 4) classroom practice.
