Analysis of Problematic Behaviors Related to Student Guidance in Technical High Schools

This study aims to analyze problematic behaviors related to the guidance of students in technical high schools and to seek ways to improve issues of maladaptation in school life. The results show that students express dissatisfaction with strict control and physical punishment from teachers, often demonstrating a rebellious attitude toward guidance measures such as dress code checks and gate inspections. Some students avoid guidance sessions upon arrival at school or exhibit oppositional behavior, which appears as a form of school maladaptation. Particularly, students find it challenging to accept the rules and norms required by the school, which is closely linked to teacher-student relationships and students’ family environments. To address these issues, it is essential to understand the students' family backgrounds and employ positive reinforcement techniques in guidance, along with sustained attention and care akin to that of a family. Teachers should base their guidance on warmth and understanding so that students do not feel isolated. Such efforts can reduce maladaptive behaviors among students and help cultivate a healthy school culture.
