A Study on the Value-Guiding Role of University Counselors in Students’Development Process

Abstract

University counselors play a crucial role in students' growth, particularly in shaping their values, psychological development, and social adaptation. As the demands of modern education diversify, the role of counselors has gradually expanded beyond traditional academic guidance to include value leadership, emotional support, and comprehensive ability development. This study analyzes the functions and responsibilities of counselors, exploring their core role in students' growth, especially in addressing students' value needs and psychological development. The research finds that counselors, through personalized educational interventions, can effectively guide students in forming healthy values and enhancing their social adaptability. Future research could further explore the evolving role of counselors in the digital age and how modern technology can enhance value leadership, providing more precise and personalized support for students' holistic development.
