Good quality guidance services that will be provided abused and neglected children, who come from poor socio-economic status in their early childhood years, will increase both the children's and their families' life quality and indirectly contribute to social structure. Without investigating the contributions of counseling services to the education and development of children in preschool education, the abolishment of counseling services in preschool constitutions has been on the agenda. Thus, in this research preschool institutions' administrators and teachers' perceptions of preschool counselors have been examined. The survey model has been used for the research. The research sample consists of 43 preschool institutions managers and 211 preschool education teachers. To reveal preschool administrators' and teachers' perceptions about school counselors, "School Counselor Perception Scale" has been used, which was developed by Mamett (2008). The results of the study have revealed that preschool teachers and administrators, who meet with school counselors more frequently, have a better perception about school counselors. Preschool teachers and administrators think that the most important tasks of school counselors are individual guidance, group guidance, orientation programs and participating in classroom activities. Administrators and teachers have low expectations regarding administrative duties, discipline and keeping student records from school counselors.

The responsibility of the development and the achievement of the child seems to be put on the shoulders of the preschool teacher. However, education is a teamwork in which not only teacher but also school administrator, family, school counselor (psychological counselor) and other supporting units should take active duty and work in cooperation. The school counselor plays an important role in following and supporting the child's bio-psycho-social development in this process. For all that, it is noteworthy that there is no effective cooperation between preschool teacher and school counselor. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of preschool teachers about school counselors. The data on school counselors’ perceptions was collected by metaphor analysis method.

The Impact

Educational robotics have become popular worldwide with a broad range of students, including preschoolers. Although the impact of robotics technology in classrooms has been extensively studied, less is known about preschool teachers' perceptions of how robotics technology impacts learning and its relation to use in the classroom. This is problematic since we know that teachers' perceptions have a great influence on their teaching practices. This study used survey data gathered from 102 students of the Department of Preschool Education in a University in Greece. A questionnaire developed by the researchers were used as data collection tool. At the end of the study, it was determined that preservice preschool teachers' attitudes about educational robotics usage in preschool classrooms were positive although they lack in relevant knowledge. These findings are discussed with respect to their educational implications.

Character education was one of the focuses in the system of national education. Therefore, educators must not neglect this. A school counselor, as one of the educators, has to play a role in character education. Referring to guidance and counseling responsibilities in relation to students’ personal, social, academic, and career aspects, a school counselor must not escape from the main duties. Considering that character education is the responsibility of all parties, a school counselor can, independently and in collaboration with all school components, play a role in character education. Individually, a school counselor can provide services, such as individual services, individual planning services, and responsive services. In collaboration with other parties, a school counselor can make a synergy in character education programs. While guidance and counseling services are one of the service programs that contribute to the implementation of the program in schools. So that it is expected that the implementation of strengthening of character education through guidance and counseling services in schools can be implemented and implemented effectively and efficiently, so that it can achieve more optimal goals for the development of character values that exist in students.Keywords: School Counselors; Character Education; Counseling Guidance Services
