BAEZ MATOS, Keylin; GOMEZ CARDOSO, Ángel Luis; GOMEZ NUNEZ, Elizabeth e NAVARRO GOMEZ, Melissa María. The professional improvement of the educational counselor in the prevention of aggressive behavior alterations. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2024, vol.24, n.3 Epub 26-Out-2024. ISSN 1727-8120.
Introduction:
In the Dominican Republic, special education represents a necessary educational transformation. The new approach to social inclusion and attention to diversity offer opportunities to all learners. In this sense, educators must direct the process of professional development. Therefore, the objective of this text is to evaluate the results of the initial diagnosis in a research on the professional improvement of the educational counselor in the prevention of aggressive behavior alterations.
Methods:
A descriptive observational study was carried out on educational counselors in the first cycle of the secondary level belonging to the Educational District 18-02 of the municipality of Tamayo, Bahoruco province, Dominican Republic. The research was carried out during the months of January to June 2023. From a universe of 42 educational counselors, a sample of 13 was intentionally selected, who met the eligibility criteria. For this purpose, an evaluative instrument was applied consisting of a cognitive dimension, and instrumental dimension and an attitudinal dimension, with their respective indicators and dimensions.
Results:
In general sense, the cognitive dimension was evaluated poorly, since of the four indicators that comprise it, three received the same name. The instrumental dimension obtained a rating of poor, given that the two indicators that make it up achieved equal results. The attitudinal dimension was fair, and although it was demonstrated that they did not have mastery of strategy, they reflected interest in taking advantage of different subjects for such purposes.
Discussion:
The results of this initial diagnosis of the educational counselors on the subject at hand, demonstrated the serious difficulties they have, in addition to the poor mastery and knowledge to face this problem, and their correspondence with those found by researchers on the subject was corroborated.
