II. Principles of Guidance

The concept of guidance includes the need to exercise foresight in order to


prevent, so far as possible, the occurrence of situations which make it necessary
for an individual to seek help in order to adjust to the circumstances.
When disturbing or unhealthful conditions interfere with satisfactory patterns
of behavior, it becomes the responsibility of teachers and members of the
guidance personnel to supply whatever service is needed. Whatever the function
of the guidance supplied - prevention, preservation, or attempted cure - certain
principles and assumptions are basic to its achievement.

The principles of guidance generally accepted are the ones given by Crow and
Crow. They are:

 Principle of all-round development (Holistic development of


individual)
Guidance service which aims at bringing about desirable
adjustment on any particular area of personality must take
into account the all-round development of the individual.

 Recognition of individual differences and dignity:


Individuals differ in their physical, mental, social and emotional
development. No two individuals are alike. Guidance service must
recognize these differences and guide each individual according to
their specific need.

GUID 205 |ERSANDO, MARIBEL MARTONITO & KAREN KLEIN D. RODRIN 9


[GUID 205 (PRINCIPLES OF GUIDANE & COUNSELING)] September 16, 2017

 The principle of true function.


It is the function of guidance to help a person to formulate and
accept worthwhile and attainable goals of behavior, and to apply
these objectives in the conduct of his affairs.

 The principle of cooperation.


No individual can be forced into guidance. The consent and
cooperation of the individual is a pre-requisite for providing guidance.

 The principle of continuity.


Guidance should be regarded as a continuous process of service to
an individual in different stages of his life.

 The principles of extension.


Guidance service should not be limited to a few persons, who give
observable evidence of its need, but it should be extended to all
persons of all ages, who can benefit from it directly or indirectly.

 The principles of elaboration.


Curriculum materials and teaching procedures should be elaborated
according to the view point of guidance.

 The principle of adjustment.


While it is true that guidance touches every aspect of an individual’s
life, it is chiefly concerned with an individual’s physical or mental
health, with his adjustment at home, school, society and vocation.

 The principle of expert opinion.


Specific and serious guidance problems should be referred to
persons who are trained to deal with particular area of adjustment for
their expert opinion.

 The principle of evaluation.


The guidance program should be evaluated in terms of its
effectiveness and improvement. Evaluation is essential for the
formulation of new goals or redrafting the existing goals.

 The principles of responsibility.


Parents and teachers have great responsibility in the execution of
the work of guidance. The responsibility for guidance should be
centered on a qualified and trained person, who is the head the
guidance center.

GUID 205 |ERSANDO, MARIBEL MARTONITO & KAREN KLEIN D. RODRIN 10


[GUID 205 (PRINCIPLES OF GUIDANE & COUNSELING)] September 16, 2017

 The principle of periodic appraisal.


Periodic appraisal should be made of the existing guidance program
so that requisite changes, if any can be carried out for its
improvement.

 Acceptance of individual needs: Guidance is based upon individual


needs i.e. freedom, respect, dignity.

III. Understanding the Learner’s Needs

Understanding learner’s needs is essential for providing quality education.


The needs of learners should be considered within the contexts of:
 Their current physical, social, intellectual and emotional development
 The classroom and school environment
 The special nature of their communities
 A wider knowledge about the health status, needs and physical activity
patterns of children, adolescent and adults.

IV. Types of Guidance Assistance

The school is expected to provide more than just teaching and instruction.
A school guidance program includes all those activities other than instructional
which are carried out to render assistance to pupils in their educational,
vocational, personal development and adjustment.
Guidance services can assist the pupils in knowing themselves-their
potentialities and limitations, making appropriate choices in educational,
vocational and other fields. Some of the important guidance services are:
