Parents’ Awareness and Acceptance of Guidance Counselor’s Roles and Functions: Basis for Enrichment Program

Author(s) Mr. Francisco Parcon Garnica
Country Philippines
Abstract Guidance and counseling are core responsibilities of school guidance counselors and are essential to the social and emotional development of learners. This study aimed to determine the levels of awareness and acceptance of these roles and functions among parents of Grade 7 and 8 students in private secondary schools in San Carlos City. Respondents were identified through total enumeration. Data were collected using a validated survey questionnaire and analyzed using weighted mean, Pearson’s r, Kendall’s tau-b, and ANOVA. Findings revealed a high level of parental awareness (M = 3.88) and acceptance (M = 4.25) of guidance counselors’ roles and functions. A strong positive correlation was found between awareness and acceptance, r(858) = 0.604, p < .001, which was supported by Kendall’s tau-b (τ_b = 0.471, p < .001). This suggests that higher awareness is associated with higher acceptance. Regression analysis further showed that awareness significantly predicts acceptance, F(1, 858) = 493.293, p < .001, accounting for 36.5% of the variance. The unstandardized coefficient (B = 0.559) indicates that for every unit increase in awareness, acceptance increases by 0.559 units. The standardized coefficient (β = 0.604) confirms a strong predictive relationship. These findings support the need for awareness-raising initiatives as a foundation for an enrichment program designed to enhance parental engagement in guidance services.
