Guidance and counseling b.ed notes 

 

CONCEPT OF GUIDANCE 

 

Man is a socially intelligent and rational creature, on the basis of this he is completely different from other creatures of the world.

He establishes harmony with the environment and other creatures of the society only on the strength of intelligence, he has to face many problems in establishing this.

For which he has to take the help of his elders. On the basis of this co-operation, it is easy for him to achieve his objectives in drawing proper conclusions regarding the problems.

It is only on the basis of guidance that a person acquires knowledge about his abilities, capabilities and skills and achieves success in his field of work by making proper use of the knowledge capabilities inherent in him.

In this way, we can say that the purpose of guidance is not to solve the problems of the individual, but on the basis of this, the capabilities of the individual are to be made capable of making him enlightened. So that he will be able to find solutions to his problems.
 

Under the process of guidance, coordinated consideration of information related to educational profession and personal characteristics inherent in the person receiving guidance is necessary, without this information it is impossible to complete the process of guidance. To get information about the characteristics inherent in a particular person, his interests, abilities etc. have to be measured. Along with this, the knowledge of intelligence test, interest test, aptitude test etc. is of special importance to know about the abilities inherent in a person.

Just as education is a life-long process, similarly guidance is also a life-long process. From birth to death, wherever, in whatever form a person gets help, that help comes under guidance only.

 

We know the person who gives this type of help by the name of director or director. In school, at home, in society, teachers, principals, parents, co-workers, other family members, friends, associates, etc., all the people who provide help in solving any kind of problem are considered as guidance providers.

Through this process, help is given for the development of different aspects of the children in the same way as the help is provided by the teacher for the mental, physical and emotional development of the child. It is a comprehensive process and its scope is limited today.

 

What is the meaning of Guidance ?

 

In the controversial concepts of the current era, it is a concept that has been defined in various ways, yet guidance is generally accepted as a process by which one or several individuals are guided in some way or the other. assistance is provided.

On the basis of this code, there is ease in solving problems, making rational conclusions, taking desired decisions and achieving our goals and objectives.

It has given rise to various problems in the field of education. Such as student dissatisfaction, lack of trained teachers, lack of discipline, etc. Therefore, individual differences have special importance in the field of education, not all people can get all types of education, their abilities, abilities and interests are different, so the selection of subjects should be done according to their individual differences.

1. Variations in Business:

First of all, people used to live their lives through agricultural business only, but as the population increased, humans developed, their needs kept increasing and many types of industries started coming. Therefore, at the school level itself, it is considered necessary that students should be assisted in choosing subjects according to their interest, so that coordination can be established between the expectations related to education and business or educational achievement and earning a living. Through vocational guidance, students can be provided information regarding their interests, their skills, abilities, aptitude etc. On the basis of information or according to one's ability to choose subjects, to develop necessary abilities, potential and skills for future business and get an opportunity to move forward in that business.

 

2. Individual differences:

The ability, interest, aptitude to work in every person is different. Everyone is different from each other in one way or the other. Without getting proper information about this diversity, it is not possible to make a definite statement regarding the aptitude, future progress or vocational compatibility of a person. Before selecting suitable people for any business, it is necessary to know the level and nature of individual differences, because a person with some special abilities is required for a typical business. Information obtained through various means can be collected in this context through guidance.

4. Progress of Society and Nation:

Through vocational guidance, a person proves to be a medium of progress of the society and the nation, as there has been a substantial difference in the family, economic, religious conditions of any society. More importance is given to the level of the person, money and material resources. To get respect from your neighbors, relatives and acquaintances, today it is necessary that a person's standard of living should be good. Respect of the person, his dignity and he should get social importance. Despite this, a good opportunity can be found for population growth and availability of limited opportunities. So that they can progress the society and the nation. All these require vocational guidance.

 

5. Discipline problem:

The problem of discipline is overcome by vocational guidance.

Start doing that work. So that we can get some benefit from them in future.
