Abstract

The integration of information technology (IT) in school education has a significant impact on teacher professionalism and educational management, including Guidance and Counseling services. This study explores how IT improves guidance and counseling management in schools by improving teacher empowerment, administrative efficiency, and student learning experiences. Through a literature perspective, data from various research sources is analyzed to assess the current state and challenges of using technology in counseling services. Although technology helps in organizing student data, assessment environments, and offering personalized services, challenges such as limited IT knowledge among counselors, lack of resources, and concerns about privacy and consent to change hinder its full implementation. This research emphasizes that effective management of guidance and counseling services, incorporating IT, is critical to meeting students' social, emotional and academic needs. The study concludes that, despite these challenges, strategic use of IT can transform guidance and counseling practices, improving student development and academic success.
