Abstract

The current research has taken place with the aim of understanding the activity of educational guidance teachers in fields of education (in various levels of pre-teaching, during teaching, and post-teaching), management (in the category of human relationships, evaluation of teachers’ work, and organizational responsibilities), and educational and experimental abilities from teachers view, in the form of a descriptive design through cluster sampling with the help of a questionnaire consisted of 64 questions (prepared with Likert style, in a five degree scale, with providing maximum validity and reliability for it). This research was performed on 322 teachers from the elementary school level in cities across province of Tehran. The results of this research show that from teachers’ point of view, guidance teachers are not only unsuccessful in acting upon their responsibilities in educational fields, but in some cases they have negative influence and activity as well. Based on the results of this research, two fundamental suggestions have been made along with detailed explanations in each case in order to improve the activity of guidance teachers. These suggestions have been made possible by using other assessments that have been done about the activity of guidance teachers, as well as the personal experiences of the researcher.
