The influence of social spirituality and parenting on the success of counselling program among Spanish high school students

Abstract

Introduction. Spiritual values are needed in various aspects of educational activities, starting from the process of motivating teaching and learning activities, strengthening soft and hard skills, as well as important in student care and counseling programs. Thus, the counseling and nurturing process for students through spiritual values is very necessary. This topic becomes very meaningful and very important considering the tendency of students to often receive and access all information from their smart gadgets without being analyzed more deeply so that it has the potential to damage character. This research purports to define the influence of social spirituality on the success of counselling, the influence of parenting on the success of counselling, and the simultaneous influence of social spirituality and parenting on the success of the counselling program among Spanish high school students. Materials and methods. This research is a quantitative, non-experimental study looking for correlation. The research population covers all grade X and XI high school students in Madrid and Granada in the academic year 2020/2021. Research samples were 150 pupils selected using sample random sampling. Data collection relied on documentation and questionnaires. Methods for mathematical statistics: t-test, Pearson correlation analysis (r). Research results. The results show that social spirituality is found to influence the success of the counseling program of the study (t =15.932; p <0.000) which is confirmed by correlation analysis (r =0.799**; p<0.000). While there is an influence of parenting on the success of counseling (t =7.555; p <0.000) which is confirmed by correlation analysis (r =0.539**; p<0.000). In addition, «social spirituality» and «parenting» simultaneously influence the success of the сcounselling program for Spanish high school with a significance level of p< 0.000 and an R-squared value of 0.740. Conclusion. We urge researchers to study parenting models to guide students through understanding the values of social spirituality and how it contributes to understanding the students' own life values. Because with these spiritual values, students will be able to build their own life in a more oriented way. Keywords: social spirituality, parenting, success of counselling, Spanish
