First, an overview of the development of college counselors

196 1 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Lushan conference issued a special document, proposing to set up full-time counselors in colleges and universities, which was implemented; During the Cultural Revolution, ideological and political work was used by the Gang of Four and its reputation was damaged. 1978 the state education commission issued a document to restore the college counselor system. Due to the serious job-hopping of ideological and political workers (including counselors) before the Cultural Revolution, professional teachers mainly worked as political counselors part-time. The work of counselors does not just stay in political work, but gradually changes to ideological and political education. During the period of 1987, a document was issued to improve and strengthen the ideological and political education of college students, and the orientation of the work of political counselors remained unchanged. Until the 1990s, with the deepening of reform and opening-up, many new situations appeared in colleges and universities, such as helping the needy, psychological counseling, career counseling and so on. 2 1 century, the party and the state paid more and more attention to ideological and political education, and issued documents in 2000 and 2004 to promote ideological and political education for college students. In particular, the document 16 in 2004 expanded the functions of counselors, and "helping students solve practical problems" was written into the document as a function (including helping the poor, psychology, employment, career planning, interpersonal relationship, etc. ), and made efforts for the way out and guarantee of counselors in many aspects.

Second, the orientation of college counselors (macro role orientation)

The 16th document pointed out that "the ideological and political education team is the organizational guarantee to strengthen and improve the ideological and political education of college students. The main body of the ideological and political education team for college students is the school party and government cadres and league cadres, teachers, counselors and class teachers of ideological and political theory courses and philosophy and social sciences courses. " Counselors and class teachers are the backbone of ideological and political education for college students. Counselors carry out targeted ideological and political education activities according to the deployment of the party Committee, and the class teacher has the responsibility to guide students' thinking, study and life. Generally speaking, the duties of counselors in Shanghai include the duties of class teachers.

The document "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Counselors in Colleges and Universities" 16 issued by the Ministry of Education points out: "Counselors in charge of classes are an important part of teachers in colleges and universities, the backbone of moral and ideological and political education for college students, and the guiders and guiders for the healthy growth of college students." "Full-time counselors are generally equipped according to the ratio of 1:200."

It can be seen that in addition to the "backbone of ideological and political education" (since 78 years), there are several new places in the positioning of the current counselor work team:

1, full-time counselors also belong to the teaching staff.

2. Instructors and guides for the healthy growth of college students.

The party and the country attach great importance to the construction of the team of counselors, whose image is called the "guardian" of the party, and this team needs to better position its core business.

Third, the role orientation of college counselors (micro-role orientation)

After preliminary research, in order to concentrate the core business of counselors, improve the effectiveness of counselors' ideological and political education, and enhance their professional skills in counseling, a university has positioned counselors' business as three major parts (ideological and political education, class management, and consulting services):
