摘要:

Guidance programs should focus on the development of human potentialities rather than directly on the utilization of manpower resources. This individual development will call for a changed educational program—one which will be more concerned with long‐term needs, one that is broader, more individualized and better coordinated. The counselor should give up his exclusive concern with direction pointing, interpreting, and trouble shooting and affirm his commitment to the individual. Social action is needed to produce desirable social consequen

摘要:

Automated data processing equipment is playing an increasingly important role in our economy. Schools, however, have in large part failed to utilize automated data processing equipment to the fullest extent possible. A limited number of school districts across the country have investigated the possible uses of data processing machines and have determined that the business department is not the only one that can profit from automated procedures. A survey of selected California schools has shown that counselors working in districts with data processing facilities spend approximately 25 per cent less time on clerical work than those counselors working in districts without access to this technological capability. The California State Department of Education, in a joint project with the Cooperative Research Branch of the United States Office of Education, has established a Research and Development Center in Educational Data Processing to pursue a wide range of goals designed to relieve pupil personnel workers from most of the clerical aspects of existing programs. While it is difficult to prove that out‐of‐pocket costs are reduced by the introduction of data processing systems, the real economy is found in the saving of valuable professional time, energy, and sk

摘要:

Vocational counselors have recently been employed as expert witnesses in processing claims for disability insurance under Section 216 (I) and Section 223 of the Social Security Act. This article describes the hearings process and demonstrates how the vocational counselor prepares to express an opinion as to whether or not a claimant for disability insurance has shown a residual capacity to function satisfactorily on a sustained basis in our economy. The opinion of the consultant is based on the file of official exhibits and testimony. During the hearing, the consultant's opinion is supported by reference to the specific tools of his profession. The consultant may modify his opinions as a result of testimony elicited during the hearing. The counselor not only states that the claimant can function satisfactorily in competitve work but he also mentions specific jobs which are within the claimant's residual capacities. On the other hand, if it is his opinion that the claimant cannot work, he must support his opinion with a sound rationale.

摘要:

This paper has examined some of the ethical and legal aspects of the Social Security Administration's use of vocational consultants in disability hearings. To clarify this new professional role, relevant literature has been drawn upon as it relates to ethical issues confronting the vocational consultant. Also brought to bear on the discussion is the practical experience which has already accumulated in this challenging, ethics‐charged fiel

摘要:

This annual review of job satisfaction researches is the 22nd in a series and covers reports published in 1963 plus earlier studies not previously dealt with in this Journal. The format—findings and conclusions; topics investigated; per cent dissatisfied; current emphases; and summaries of studies—has become standard in this yearly presentat

摘要:

The consequences of guidance workers functioning in a psychotherapeutic role (PR) was compared with their functioning in a consultant role (GR). There was a control group of students referred but not receiving service. Teachers rated more GR referrals improved but differences were not significant. Peer ratings showed a significant (p<0.05) difference favoring controls. Guidance staff significantly (p<0.05) favored GR at end of study. School staff preferences for PR were significant (p<0.01) at beginning and end of study. However, a shift away from PR towards GR was significant (p<0.01).

摘要:

An inverse correlational analysis of mean semantic differential ratings toward 20 types of disability was performed in order to describe the degree of resemblance of public concepts toward such conditions as “an alcoholic,” “someone born blind,” “a leper,” “someone with tuberculosis,” “the average man,” etc. The analysis yielded 2 distinct and contrasting attitudinal factors toward disability: (a) an organic factor, and (b)

摘要:

Two groups of urban eleventh graders were contrasted in their attitudes toward school by means of a specially developed poll. Classified as “satisfied” and “dissatisfied” with school, these groups of approximately 45 each were compared on theIowa Tests of Educational Development.“Satisfied” students generally out‐performed “dissatisfied” students at a statistically significant level. The advantage of “satisfied” students tended to be greater on tests where academic skills were involved than on tests of general background information. It could be concluded that such skill development was more pronounced in students affirmative in their attitude toward school because of its association with typical classroom objecti

摘要:

A systematic attempt to compare the characteristics of college freshmen who pledge and who do not pledge social fraternities. From freshmen entering the University of North Dakota in the fall of 1962 a random sample was drawn and divided into four groups of 46 Ss each: male pledges, male independents, female pledges and female independents.The Ss' responses to several personality inventories and college ability test were analyzed by a 2 times 2 factorial analysis of variance; and to a biographical inventory by use of a 2 times 4 chi‐square The results (significant at the 0.05 level or beyond) suggested that (a) pledges are different from those students who do not pledge fraternities on a number of characteristics, values, and expectations, (b) potential pledges participate in more social activities in high school, and (c) pledges had unfulfilled expectation of the role fraternities would play in their academic live

摘要:

The research questions were (a) to what extent will students who in their high school years have made grades discrepant with their abilities continue to show such discrepancies in college and (b) how are interests related to such persisting (or changing) patterns of ability‐achievement discrepancies? The population of fall, 1958, University of Illinois freshmen was studied. At each SCAT decile level the distribution of college grade‐point averages was broken into an overachieving, an averageachieving, and underachieving group. A similar procedure was used to establish high school ability‐discrepancy groups. The hypothesis that each such high school group (underachievers, averageachievers, overachievers) would tend to persist in its own characteristic discrepant pattern in college was supported by the findings.General hypotheses and specific predictions were developed relating patterns of ability‐achievement discrepancies to Kuder scales. The results were: (1) A positive relationship between scholastic overachievement and the Kuder conflict‐avoidance, ideational, computational, and literary scales; (2) A negative relationship between scholastic overachievement and Kuder mechanical (except for Engineering students) and outdoor (only for Liberal Arts wome
