Problem Durumu: Değişen eğitim sistemine paralel olarak psikolojik danışmanların rolleri de değişmiştir. Psikolojik danışmanların geleneksel üç rolüne psikolojik danışma, koordinasyon, konsültasyon ek olarak program yönetimi, sınıf rehberliği, öğretim liderliği, öğrenci savunuculuğu, sosyal değişim ajanı gibi yeni roller eklenmiştir. Bu konuda yurt dışında yoğun araştırmalar olmasına karşın, ülkemizde sınırlıdır. Araştırmanın Amacı/Araştırma Soruları: Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik danışmanların rehberlik hizmetlerinde yaşanan değişimleri ve buna paralel olarak yeni rol ve görevlerini nasıl algıladıklarını belirlemektir. Araştırmanın Yöntemi: Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri 11 devlet ilköğretim okulunda görev yapan 11 psikolojik danışmandan, görüşme formu yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Veri analizinde betimsel içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular ve Sonuçlar: Psikolojik danışmanların eğitim sistemini bir bütün olarak değerlendirme ve yeni paradigmaları algılamada güçlük çektikleri; rehberlikteki değişime rağmen kendi rollerinde bir değişimi algılamadıkları; görüşme tekniğinde ve müşavirlik rollerinde kendilerini yeterli bulurken, psikolojik danışma, sınıf rehberliği ve program yönetiminde yetersiz buldukları; değişen sisteme uyum sağlamak için mesleki gelişimlerini artırmak istedikleri belirlenmiştir. Öneriler: Psikolojik danışmanlara, değişen sisteme uyum sağlamalarına yardımcı olacak yaşam boyu eğitim olanakları sunulmalıdır
