Review of A wartime guidance program for your school

Abstract

Reviews the book, A wartime guidance program for your school by A. J. Cardall (1943). The reviewer states that most of this book deals with matters of interest primarily to school counselors and to teachers interested in vocational guidance. This booklet is based upon the fact that most of the guidance work that is done in our schools is done by relatively untrained persons. Its author goes on the assumption that a guidance procedure of "mechanistic form is essential in aiding school personnel with limited training for guidance to do a better job." Cardall's aim is to make available to teacher-counselors a technique for individual analysis which leaves little to the teacher's knowledge of measurement or familiarity with occupational abilities. He therefore recommends two or three selected tests for each of seven types of abilities or traits. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
