Identifying The Psycho-Educational Strategies in Dealing with Aggressive Behavior from The Counselor's Perspective

Aggressive behavior among students disrupts learning environments and psychosocial development, necessitating effective interventions. This study uses the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to explore counselors' perspectives on psycho-educational strategies for managing aggression. Seven counselors identified social skills training, behavioral modeling, and problem-solving techniques as highly effective in improving clients' behavior and self-management. However, challenges such as resource constraints and implementation difficulties persist. Findings suggest psycho-educational approaches are effective for long-term behavior management, culturally adaptable, and enhance client outcomes and counselor job satisfaction while highlighting the need for improved professional development and resource allocation.
