Guidance and Counseling, Character Building, Students, 21st CenturyAbstract
The changes of the 21st century pose significant challenges for education, particularly in developing students’ character resilience. In practice, many students demonstrate low character resilience and poor emotional regulation, especially when facing academic failure. This study aims to analyze the impact of 21st-century changes on the development of student character resilience and to examine the role and effectiveness of Guidance and Counseling services in enhancing character resilience within a failure-averse culture. The method used is a literature review, analyzing various national and international studies. The findings indicate that guidance and counseling services contribute to the development of a growth mindset, emotional regulation, adaptive coping strategies, and social support, all of which strengthen students’ character resilience. The study concludes that guidance and counseling teachers play a strategic role as agents of change in creating a school culture that is supportive of failure. Practical implications include the need to strengthen guidance and counseling teachers’ competencies, provide ongoing supervision, and implement school policies that systematically support the development of student resilience.
