Review of Developing a student guidance program in an instructional department

Abstract

Reviews the book, Developing a student guidance program in an instructional department by Dorothy D. Scott, Winona L. Morgan and Ruth T. Lehman (1945). The reviewer states that this monograph describes the procedures used for the past several years in the School of Home Economics at Ohio State University in an attempt to provide more adequate student guidance and to determine techniques useful to the teacher counselor. The plan was inaugurated because it had been found that many students graduated without any faculty member really knowing them, and many made unsatisfactory vocational choices. The staff accepted the idea that colleges should be concerned for the all-round development of the students, that the guidance point of view should permeate student-faculty relations, and that the college staff can best acquire this through participating in a guidance program. Responsibility for guidance is divided among three groups. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
