In this study, an activity report over a two-year period by one undergraduate student who participated in campus aid (CA) activity was analyzed by quantitative text analysis, and professional development process during the “phase of the lay helper” was conducted. By the co-occurrence network, reflection on the content of CA activity, the involvement with high school students and the listening attitude were consistently reported over a two-year period. First year, the strong interest for the students who came to the CA room, the concern of whether the CA room was recognized as a “place” in the school, the continuous visit of students and the confusions about the position of CA within the school organization ware occurred. Second year, the content of the description about the students’ awareness of their behavior became expander, and the reflective centered on the “sense of distance” was increased. In addition, as a result of correspondence analysis, it was suggested that the process of professional development in the “phase of the lay helper” could be reviewed from the two perspectives, “psychological distance” and “interest, concern and direction of thinking”. It will be necessary to increase the number of samples and accumulate more research on CA.
