Paper Title
College (University) Counseling Implementation on High School Students in terms of Academic Motivation and University Readiness
Abstract
Although there are some researches and articles about university counseling in limited number, the topic is still
really fresh even in America. The terms, guidance counseling and university counseling are still confusing ones and
mentioned and discussed together although they are not the same jobs exactly. School guidance counselors who provide
social, emotional guidance in the process of character building are present commonly and work in many schools in USA. On
the other hand, although high school students need college counselling vitally and urgently, it is hard to state that schools
hire college counsellors adequately in the world. No need to say, there are plenty of reasons that hinder college counselling
from spreading among high schools. Among many reasons it is a fact that the number of researches which were carried out
to investigate the relationship between college counselling and college readiness is unsatisfactory in the world. In other
words, the amount of the scientific researches that study and prove the impact of college counselling on students’ aspiration
and college readiness before they enroll in a college needs to be increased.
