Empowerment and Reconstruction: Research on the Construction and Effectiveness of the Integrated Training Model of "Selection, Cultivation, Management, and Application" for Senior Student Counselors
The senior student counselor system is an important carrier for universities to promote "all-staff education, whole-process education, and all-round education" and enhance freshmen's adaptive education. However, universities generally face problems such as disjointed links and insufficient coordination in "selection, cultivation, management, and application" in the construction of this team, which restricts the exertion of their educational functions. Taking the School of Applied Foreign Languages of Shenzhen Institute of Information Technology as an example, this study constructs and practices an integrated training model of "selection, cultivation, management, and application". Centering on four links—"precision selection, systematic cultivation, process management, and effective application"—the model forms a closed-loop mechanism and advances relying on a four-dimensional support system of system, resources, culture, and evaluation. Verified by mixed research methods, the model has significantly improved senior student counselors' post identity and ability structure, especially in empathy, service awareness, and problem-solving ability. This study provides an operable systematic framework for the construction of senior student counselor teams in universities and a practical path for the transformation of peer education from "experience transmission" to "systematic empowerment".
