    Chapter No. 1: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction

    The problem of most students has that contributes to their poor performance in tests and

    examination is lack of proper study habit. Students have different skills and abilities but they do

    not know how and where it has to be applying because they have not a proper guidance

    relating to their studies. They have not a proper concept what they read; sometimes they do

    not have a proper knowledge about what they have done. Lack of knowledge and lack of proper

    guidance may lead to student fails in their education. Students have a different thoughts,

    different feelings, or behavior, responses, to recent or past events and experiences,

    relationship may lead to failure of student. A student who wants to study well, needs to choose

    a suitable place as important as what to study and how to go about studying. Productive study

    habits require learners to prepare personal time table for themselves allocating a certain length

    of time for a particular subject, depending on how difficult each subject. College students are

    the cream of adolescent and young adult population. They are under tremendous pressure as

    they expected not only to succeed but also become toppers in their courses. All the pre-

    university level, there is crazy rush to enter professional courses like B.A, BSC, BBA attract a few

    student only. Student who fails to get into the courses of their or parents choice, teacher and

    society. Because they do not have a proper counseling about their studies .In every level of

    education a student has a need of proper guidance and proper counseling about their study so,

    there is a need of education sectors to provide a good environment and counseling center who

    improve the student confidence. Student counseling service assists student with a variety of

    concerns. A Councilor helps students to assess their reading ability, aptitude and help them

    through planning to develop effective study habits. A Student counseling provides a safe

    place, separate from your daily life, where we can explore issues or feelings which are causing

    we difficulty. The councilor will aim to relate to you in a supportive and purposeful manner and

    assist you in the task of findings your own way forward. Student counseling will pay a very

    important role in student education they will improve the clarity of concepts, they will

    increased the interest and they also increase the knowledge of student. If we apply this system

    they will lead to improve the student knowledge and students will get the benefit in their

    education.

    1.1 Purpose Statement

    The basic purpose of student counseling is to help students to use their existing problem-

    solving skills more effectively to develop new or better coping skills. Previous research

    shows that student counseling do not effect too much on students performance. So the

    purpose of the present research study is to develop a questionnaire on student counseling

    because In Pakistan there is not much trend about student counseling. So we will find the

    relationship between clarity of concepts, student performance and increase in knowledge

    variables with respect to student counseling.

    1.2 Objectives of the study1.2.1Main Objective

    The main aim of the current research is to find out that what is the effect of student

    counseling on students performance in education sector.

    1.2.2Sub objectives

    1.3 Significance of the study

    student counseling includes work with individuals and with relationships which may be

    developmental, crisis support, guiding or problem solving . . . The task of counseling is to

    give the student an opportunity to explore, discover and clarify ways of living more

    satisfyingly and resourcefully.

    Counseling is an excellent method for engaging in anxiety recovery.

    The primary benefit of student counseling is that it gives a person a safe and secure place to

    talk to another person, and counselors are trained to be able to listen to and understand

    anything, no matter how strange or unusual it may seem at first. All human beings need a

    safe and secure place where they can talk open and freely to another person without fear of

    being judged, and most people, let alone anxiety y-sufferers, have nowhere like this to go

    The next benefit of student counseling is that it places a high value on the worth of the

    individual. When a person first enters a counseling session, he or she is praised for having

    the courage to seek help. During counseling, the counselor helps the anxiety sufferer to

    select a method to use to help recover from anxiety such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,

    or any of a variety of other techniques. Counselors may present other techniques to the

    client, but the client has the ultimate say of which technique he or she feels works best for

    EDUCATION SECTOR

    him or her. Finally, the client works with the counselor to establish reasonable goals that

    he or she wants to attain from counseling.

    These, in sum, are the benefits of counseling. Counseling is a very surprising experience for

    anxiety-sufferers, who tend to have had many poor experiences with people who were

    misguided in their attempts to help. Counseling is warm, kind, and gentle in its approach,

    but it requires great courage and personal strength to work through it. In sum, counseling

    is very advantageous and beneficial for every individual who attempts to walk through its

    path.

    Benefits

    student counseling includes work with individuals and with relationships which may be

    developmental, crisis support, guiding or problem solving . . . The task of counseling is to

    give the student an opportunity to explore, discover and clarify ways of living more

    satisfyingly and resourcefully.

    Counseling is a wonderful twentieth-century invention. We live in a complex, busy,

    changing world. In this world, there are many different types of experience that are difficult

    for people to cope with. Most of the time, we get on with life, but sometimes we are stopped

    in our tracks by an event or situation that we do , at that moment, have the resources to

    sort out. Most of the time, we find ways of dealing with such problems in living by talking to

    family, friends, neighbors, priests or our family doctor. But occasionally their advice is not

    sufficient, or we are too embarrassed or ashamed to tell them what is bothering us, or we

    just dont have an appropriate person to turn to. Counseling is a really useful option at

    these moments. In most places, counseling is available fairly quickly, and costs little or

    nothing. The counselor does not diagnose or label you, but does his or her best to listen to

    you and work with you to find the best ways to understand and resolve your problem. Fo r

    the majority of people, between one and six meetings with a counselor are sufficient to

    make a real difference to what was bothering them. These can be precious hours. Where

    else in our society is there the opportunity to be heard, taken seriously, understood, to

    have the focused attention of a caring other for hours at a time without being asked to give

    anything in return? Being a counselor is also a satisfying and rewarding work role. There

    are times when, as a counselor, you know that you have made a profound difference to the

    life of another human being. It is always a great privilege to be allowed to be a witness and

    companion to someone who is facing their own worst fears and dilemmas. Being a

    counselor is endlessly challenging. There is always more to learn. The role of counselor

    lends itself to flexible work arrangements. There are excellent counselors who are full-time

    paid staff; others who work for free in the evenings for voluntary agencies; and some who

    are able sensitively to offer a counseling relationship within other work roles, such as

    nurse, doctor, clergy, social worker or teacher. This book is about counseling. It is a book

    that celebrates the creative simplicity of counseling as a cultural invention which has made

    a huge contribution to the quality of life of millions of people. But the ordinary elegance of

    this special type of helping relationship has been transformed into competing schools of

    therapy, dissected by researchers, and packaged for profit. There is, now, a clutter and

    clamor of voices making claims for the validity of their own special approach to

    counselling, or concretizing counselling practice in bureaucratic regulations. The aim of

    this book is to provide a framework for making sense of all the different aspects of

    counselling as it exists in contemporary society, while not losing sight of its ordinary

    simplicity and direct human value.

    The main aim of this chapter is to discuss and explain the research methodology to be used

    in the collection of data and after collection, analyzing the data to check and test the

    research model of proposed study, which is the effect of student counseling in their

    performance. Data collection technique and method, population, sampling techniques,

    validity and reliability of data, and data analysis technique is to be discussed in this

    chapter.

    3.1 Design and Procedure

    In order to find data on effect of student counseling in education sector in Pakistan the data

    will be collected on the variables which are clarity of concepts, interest increased, increase

    in knowledge and student performance. Advertisement is an independent variable while

    brand equity is independent variable of the proposed present study. Brand awareness, and

    brand image are the mediating variables. Questionnaire surveys technique is to be used in

    this study to collect the data through questionnaire on variables of the study. The main

    reason of selecting the survey questionnaire technique that data can be collected easily

    through five likert scale questions and this technique is very useful and widely used in

    social sciences. A survey describes a population (Sapsford, 1999) by providing a

    quantitative or numeric description of some portion of the population the sample, through

    the data collection procedure of asking questions of people. This facilitates a researcher to

    EDUCATION SECTOR

    13

    simplify the findings from a sample of responses to a population (Creswell, 1994). In

    addition, questionnaire survey data can provide useful statistics to the researcher, which

    can be used to describe how things are and why the phenomena occur (Lewin, 2005).

    3.3 Measures

    In order to measure the variables of the present study filled questionnaires were used. The

    data was collected from the participants through survey using five point likert scales only

    and ask few questions from participants. The each variable was measured by asking some

    question by using 5 point likert scale.

    The variable clarity of concepts was measured by using 5 point likert scale ranking from 1

    for strongly agree to 5 for strongly disagree.

    The variable interest increased was measured by using 5 point likert scale ranking from 1

    for strongly agree to 5 for strongly disagree.

    The variable increase in knowledge was measured by using 5 point likert scale ranking

    from 1 for strongly agree to 5 for strongly disagree.

    The variable student performance was measured by using 5 point likert scale ranking from

    1 for strongly agree to 5 for strongly disagree.

    To make analysis of data SPSS software is used. Different tests are used to analyze the data.

    For check the frequency of the data use descriptive analysis and for check the normality of

    the data use histogram and for check the relationship is positive or negative use scatter

    plot. Correlation is used to check the variable can support each other or not and at the end

    use regression to see whether the hypothesis is accepted or rejected. More detailed of these

    tests are shown in the analysis chapter.

    In this analysis we check the reliability of the variables that how much variables are

    reliable for our research. In this analysis we check the negative and positive values of the

    Cronbachs Alpha and determined if the value of Cronbachs Alpha is less than .70 its mean

    the data is not reliable. If the value of Cranach's Alpha is higher than .70 and positive, the

    data is reliable. To measure the inter-item reliability, following test was applied:

    The above table of reliability statistics reveals that the value of Cronbachs Alpha in all

    variable above than 0.70 so it is concluded that the data is reliable.

    Interpretation

    To investigate that there was a statistically significant association between Student

    performance and clarity of concepts, a correlation was computed. Both the variables were

    approximately normal there is linear relationship between them hence fulfilling the

    assumptions for Pearsons correlation. Thus, the Pearsons r is calculated r = .37, p >

    .001relating that there is no relationship between the variables. The positive sigh in the

    Pearson test value shows that there is positive relationship, which means that students

    whose concepts are clear do not effect on students performance and vice versa. Using

    Interpretation

    To investigate that there was a statistically significant association between Student

    performance and interest increased a correlation was computed. Both the variables were

    approximately normal there is linear relationship between them hence fulfilling the

    assumptions for Pearsons correlation. Thus, the Pearsons r is calculated r = . 28, p

    >.001relating that there is no relationship between the variables. The positive sigh in the

    Pearson test value shows that there is positive relationship, which means that students

    whose Interest is increased do not effect on students performance and vice versa. Using

    Cohens (1988) guidelines the effect size is small and there is weak relationship between

    students performance and interest increased.

    Interpretation:

    Multiple regressions were conducted to investigate the best predictors of student performance

    scores. The means, standard deviation, and inter correlations can be found in table. The

    combinations of variables to predict students performance are clarity of concepts, interest

    increased, increase in knowledge and student counseling were not statistically significant

    because their significance value is greater than 0.05. It means Ho is accepted and there is no

    relationship between the variables due to p>0.05. The beta coefficients are presented in last

    performance was explained by the model.

    Conclusion and discussion

    Our topic was effect of student counseling on student performance in education sector. In our

    research we made 27 questions of different variables and we filled 50 questionnaires from

    superior university Lahore to see the effect of student counseling on students performance.

    In our research we have coded all the answers of questionnaires in spss and applied the

    following tests

    1. reliability analysis

    2. frequency distribution

    3. bar charts

    4. five figure summary

    5. box plot

    6. Histogram

    7. Eta

    8. Correlations

    9. Regression

    (All the results of the above tests are shown above)

    We have apply all tests of the course to check the relationship of our variables which are

    student counseling (Independent variable), Clarity of concepts, Increase in knowledge and

    Interest increased which all are moderating variables and the dependent variable is Student

    performance. We apply Reliability test on them and we get to know that every variable have

    value more than .70 which means our data is reliable. Then we a made histograms of different

    variables and we get to know that our data is linear also. After that we apply scatter plot on the

    variables and we get to know that the difference between our variables is less than 0.05 so we

    have to apply Pearson on the variables. The Pearson test shows that there is no relationship

    between the variables. After that we apply multiple regression and from that we got to know

    that H0 is accepted which mean there is no relationship between the variables and only 15% of

    the variance in the student performance was explained by the model.
