Özet:

Today, the Internet is rapidly spreading and attracts users of all ages. With the increased use, some problems have also begun to arise. In this study, psychological consultants were discussed with school psychological consultants in order to determine what kind of problems they encounter in the school environment with students in connection with the internet. The research methods prefer the phenomenological approach from the research methods. In 2018 the data was collected through a semi-configured conversation method. In the interview, five open questions were asked. Psychological consultants are asked questions about what problems they encounter with the internet in the school, what they are surprised, what they learn from students, what they do, the need for education and their expectations from education. The study was conducted by twenty-five psychological consultants working in the province of Istanbul with the aim of the sample method. In light of the findings obtained, psychological consultants have found that they don’t feel enough in the problems related to the internet and need training within the service. Psychological consultants need in-service training on social media and computer games. In the service training they need more than theoretical knowledge to practice training. The officials of the National Ministry of Education are recommended that psychological consultants prepare service-in-service training plans to meet the need for information on issues related to the internet, especially on social media use and computer games, and that the content of these training should be working towards the most possible application. It will be helpful for psychological consultants to use their time more effectively to conduct group guidance activities on computer games, social media addiction and cyber harassment issues for students.
