PRINCIPLES OF GUIDANCE

and VALUES EDUCATION

An Introduction
Guidance covers the whole process of
education which starts from cradle to
grave.

The meaning of GUIDANCE:

• Literally GUIDANCE means ‘to direct’,


‘to point out’, ‘to show the path’. It is
the assistance or help rendered by a
more experienced person to a less
experiences person to solve certain
major problems of the individual (less
experienced) i.e. educational,
Guidance is a concept as well as a
process.

• As a concept - Guidance is
concerned with the optimal
development of the individual.
• As a process - guidance helps
the individual in self
understanding (understanding
one‘s strengths, limitations, and
other resources) and in self-
direction (ability to solve
problems, make choices and
decision on one‘s own).
GUIDANCE is an integral part of
education created to offer
assistance to individuals so that
they would make intelligent
decisions and adjustments in life.
It’s fundamental aim is to help a
person enhance the best in him –
to help a person responsibly adjust
to situation as he/she progresses.
Furthermore, Guidance is to see
through oneself. By becoming
 The aim of education is to achieve the
fullest possible realization of possibilities
inherent in the individual. Education fosters
all aspects of an individual’s personality
 GUIDANCE should be regarded as an
integral part of education. It is meant for all
students not just for those who deviate from
the norm in one direction or the other.
 All GUIDANCE is EDUCATION but some
aspects of education are not guidance. The
objectives are the same in the development
of the person but methods used are
different.
GUIDANCE AND DISCIPLINE
Bert is 14 years old and a high school
freshman. He is often times tardy for
his first period class. One unpleasant
thing about him is coming to class
without a written homework. He does
not bring his Math workbook because
he considers it too bulky. Even after
several conferences with him, he still
does not show any change. So he is
referred to the guidance counselor for
appropriate action.
Misconception
A few take guidance center as
the responsible agent to give
due sanction. So Bert feels a
peculiar phobia to the guidance
office. For him being called to
the guidance office means he is
to be subjected to punishment.
He is very uncomfortable with
the idea. Such is also the
TRUTH
Bert is referred to the guidance
counselor not for punishment but for
assistance to let him see for himself
the situate he creates. The function of
the guidance counselor is to help in
finding out the possible effects of
Bert’s present practice. He will not be
advised on what to do but will be
simply assisted in making an
intelligent move to effect a change in
his behavior as well as in his attitude.
Role of the Teacher
The teacher is responsible for helping
Bert understand the educational
content of the lesson and make him
do the required task to attain the set
goal of learning; he or she shall
provide the necessary motivation for
Bert to participate in the class. If Bert
still shows no sign of change and
conformity to the classroom practice,
then he is referred to the prefect of
discipline.
HOW DISCIPLINE IS
RELATED TO
GUIDANCE?
DISCIPLINE and
GUIDANCE are related.
While discipline pertains
to series of positive and
negative ways given in a
training, guidance helps
to set a goal by an action
plan of activities for its
proper implementation.
The NEED for GUIDANCE

1.Guidance is based on human needs –


everybody needs assistance at
sometime in his life. An individual
needs sympathetic understanding
and freedom from control of direction
by others.
2.From the standpoint of the individual
– intelligent choices can result only
where the individual has adequate
facts and experiences and receives
3. From the standpoint of society – the
individual should be in occupation
where he has been trained so he
can make society better and
contribute to improving the
conditions of his/her group.

Guidance is helpful not only for


student and teacher in an educational
institution but also to the parents,
administrators, planners and
community members.
PURPOSE OF GUIDANCE

to integrate such primary
groups forces as the home,
the school, religion and the

harmonious whole
Secondary School level
- It is centrally focused upon
differentiating aspects of
these forces as they effect the
pupils knowledge, acceptance
and direction of him/herself –
in accordance to their
potentialities and
opportunities in the areas of

choice, interpersonal
Thus the PURPOSE of
Guidance is to improve the
capability of the individual

with self-situational
relations for greater

social usefulness (students,
teachers, parents, etc).

guidance process from early childhood
throughout adulthood

Guidance should not be limited to
few;
Guidance services are for all
Guidance is fundamentally the
responsibility
of the parents in the home and in the
school.
