MEANING & DEFINITION OF GUIDANCE

Guidance is a complex concept. The aim of Guidance is not to solve the


problems of the individual but on the basis of guidance we can try to make
the person capable of solving his own problems himself. E.g. In Educational
Guidance help may be provided to the students in choosing his stream of
subjects, choice of school/college, or necessary adjustments to be done in
school. According to Shirley Honarins, “Helping John to
see through himself in order that he may see himself through is guidance”
According to Lester D. Crow & Alice Crow, “guidance is not giving direction. It
is not imposition of one persons point of view upon another person. It is not
making decision for an individual which he should make for himself. It is not
carrying the burdens of another's life. Rather, guidance is assistances made
available by personally qualified and adequately trained men and women to
an individual of any age to help him manage his own life activities, develop his
own point of view, make his own decisions, and carry his own burden.”
According to A.N.V.G. Association, “Guidance is the process of helping
persons to develop and accept the integrated and adequate picture of himself
and of his role in the world of work, to test this concept against reality and to
convert it into reality with satisfaction to himself and benefit to society.”
According to A.J. Jones (1945), “Guidance aims at promoting the growth &
development of individual by enabling him to have self- direction.”
According to Ruth Strang, “The purpose of guidance is to promote the
maximum development of each child in terms of possibilities available to
him.”
