Guidance ExampleConsider a new student in a university who is to register for courses in a
program. The course list has two categories - compulsory and elective courses. The compulsory courses are mandatory. The elective courses offer some choice.
A teacher’s effort at assisting the learner to select suitable elective courses provides an example of guidance service. 5/23/2013Delivered at Govt. Women Degree College, Sargodha
5Slide6
Counseling ExampleAssume after registration and some way into the program,
the student has problems with some courses. Perhaps the student is unable to cope with the rigor of work or is having some problems with a course lecturer.
Offering informed advice on how to cope with emerging problems is counseling.

Types of Guidance (Cont.)
Career & Vocational guidance The word “career” is used to refer to one’s progress through his/her working life, particularly in a certain profession or line of work
. The goals that one has for one’s working life are called “career goals,” and planning how we will reach them is called setting a “career path.”
The word “vocation” refers to a strong feeling within an individual that they are meant to do a certain job. It can also be used to refer to a trade or profession.
Vocational guidance helps students to choose a suitable occupation, make the necessary
preparations for it, enter into it, and develop in it.
This
is a continuous process since an individual is likely
to re-evaluate
the career choice at various points in his/her life and
may make
changes at any point in his/her career.

CounselingCounselors
expresses care and concern towards the person with a problem to facilitate that person's personal growth and positive change through self-understanding.Counseling is usually viewed as one part of guidance services. It is learning-oriented process which usually occurs in an interactive relationship with the aim of helping the person learn more: about
the self; about others about situations and events related to given issues and conditions and also to learn to put such understanding to being an effective member of the society.
Certainly it is not counseling

Counseling in a Nut ShellA counselor is trained to be able to listen to people and to encourage them to explore their thoughts and emotions freely and openly. They will ask probing, pertinent questions that will enable the client to be able to consider things that perhaps they had never thought of before A counselor will also, through exploring, be able to help the client see things in a different perspective and to be able to come to terms with whatever is affecting them. The purpose of counseling is not to tell people how to live their lives, or what to do next, but to let people see for themselves what the options are so they can work things through themselves. Obviously, some people have issues that cannot be resolved; perhaps something has happened in their lives that they find extremely difficult to deal with, and counseling will give them strategies so that they can cope, and so that it will not have too great an adverse effect.

Guidance in a Nut ShellGuidance, on the other hand, will do lots of things that counseling will do, but there is an extra element to it in as much as the person who is doing the guiding will advise, and guide. This means that the person doing the guidance must not have any agenda in relation to the person they are guiding, and should be completely neutral in the whole matter. Options that are available need to be explored so that the person can be sure that they are making the right decision for them.
