Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a soft skill rating scale for camp counselor, which by measuring his behavior will enable them to effectively manage and guide a group in camp.
For this purpose, literature research was conducted on the skills of an outdoor leader and soft skills. The soft skill component of the camp counselor was examined and organized into 5 components: 1) support of the group, 2) instruction, 3) communication, 4) leadership, 5) counseling.
The item on the rating scale was created on the basis of the component. The subjects were 193 people who had camp counselor experience. In the survey, the soft skill rating scale item was selected and the reliability and validity were examined.
The soft skill rating scale consisted of 35 items and 5 factors: 1) group management, 2) counseling, 3) instructional expression, 4) respect for individual, 5) reflection of experience.
Reliability and validity in the test were comparatively high.
