dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the use of moral values and the practice of guidance and counseling in secondary schools in the district of Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Samples of the study comprised 70 guidance and counseling teachers and 70 clients, randomly chosen from 36 secondary schools in the district of Kota Bharu. The research used two groups of samples such as the school guidance and counseling teachers and their clients. Data is gathered through the use of two sets of questionnaires, one for the guidance and counseling teachers and one for the clients. The first set of questions was aimed at exploring the relationship between the use of moral values and the guidance and counseling services from the guidance and counseling teachers’ perspective. The second set was aimed at exploring the clients’ perception on whether the guidance and counseling teachers integrated moral values in their guidance and counseling services. Six out of ten hypotheses of the research were tested by using Pearson ‘r’ Correlation and the four hypotheses by ‘t’ Test. Findings of the study showed that guidance and counseling teachers perceived that there is a significant relationship between the use of moral values and the process of guidance and counseling (r=.704, p=.000), but there is no significant relationship between the moral values with the characteristics of guidance and counseling teachers (r=.090, p=.460) and management of guidance and counseling services (r=.133, p=.273). Feedback from the clients revealed that there is a significant relationship between moral values with characteristics of guidance and counseling teachers (r=.628, p=.000), and process of guidance and counseling (r=.620, p=.000), as well as management of guidance and counseling services (r=.622, p=.000). The findings also showed that there is no significant difference between the perceptions of the guidance and counseling teachers and the clients about the characteristic of guidance and counseling teachers (t=.017, p=.986), management of guidance and counseling services (t=.059, p=.953), and the application of moral values (t=.594, p=553). Nevertheless, there is a differences between the guidance and counseling teachers and clients in the process guidance and counseling ( t=3.108, p=.002). In conclusion, the study showed that moral values were instilled while providing the guidance and counseling services. Nevertheless there is a need to further explore its effective application amongst the guidance and counseling teachers while providing guidance and counseling services in secondary schools.en_US
