description

The institutional regulation of counselling conversations does not always provide optimal conditions for counselling. Many teachers experience that some “normal” conversations develop into conversations which are of a counselling nature. Conversations which resemble counselling can be optimal counselling opportunities. In this paper we describe and develop these counselling conversations, which we call Informal Situated Counselling. †An earlier version of this article has been published in Norsk Pedagogisk Tidsskrift [Journal of Norwegien Pedagogic].
