Abstract
The
purpose
of the
study
was to
examine
attitudes
toward
and
practices
in
career
education
of
school
counsellors
in the
province
of
Newfoundland
and
Labrador
, and to
investigate
their
relationship
to
selected
personal
counsellor
characteristics.
--
The
sample
population
was
56
counsellors
, or
43
percent
of the
total
school
counsellor
population
working
in the
public
schools
of
Newfoundland
and
Labrador.
They
completed
a
questionnaire
designed
to
solicit
personal
and
professional
information
,
goals/beliefs
and
practices
considered
important
in the
delivery
of a
career
education
program
, and
who
was
deemed
responsible
for the
delivery
of these
practices.
--
The
data
was
computer
analyzed
using
SPSS
subprogram
crosstabs
with a
further
Q-factor
analysis
procedure
to
determine
whether
counsellor
subgroups
existed
in the
population
surveyed.
--
The
results
indicated
that the
majority
of
counsellors
subscribed
mainly
to an
eclectic
model
of
career
education
, that
is
, on that
takes
elements
from
both
the
traditional
and
current
models
of
career
education.
For
many
of the
practices
,
however
, a
clear
consensus
could
not be
reached
as to
who
should
assume
responsibility
for its
delivery.
Three
subgroups
of
counsellors
seemed
to
emerge
,
each
responded
differently
to
many
of the
items
on the
questionnaire.
No
differences
among
subgroups
could
be
found
as to
who
should
assume
responsibility
for the
delivery
of
various
practices
contained
in the
questionnaire
, and the
groups
did
not
seem
to
differ
on any
personal
or
professional
characteristics.
--
Each
of the
three
bipolar
subgroups
or
counsellors
were
divided
into
six
groups.
Group
1
,
consisting
of
eleven
members
,
tended
to
subscribe
to a
very
broad
conceptualization
of
career
education;
Group
2
,
largest
of the
six
groups
with
sixteen
members
,
tended
to
subscribe
to a
developmental
model.
Members
of this
groups
contended
that
counsellors
should
concern
themselves
mainly
with the
development
the
self-concept
and
personal
growth.
Groups
3
and
6
believed
, as
well
, that the
emphasis
of
career
education
should be on the
development
of
one's
self-concept;
Group
5
placed
most
of its
emphasis
on the
occupational
aspects
of
career
counselling.
Finally
,
Group
4
subscribed
to
probably
the
narrowest
conceptualization
of
career
education
,
equating
it
with
vocational
training.
Proponents
of this
model
believed
that those
responsible
for the
delivery
of
career
education
should be
concerned
with
providing
students
with
saleable
work
skills.
--
Emerging
from the
study
was the
observation
that
provincial
school
counsellors
did
not
hold
a
clear
consensus
as to what
goals/beliefs
and
practices
constitute
an
effective
career
education
program.
As
well
, there
seemed
to be
lack
of
agreement
as to
who
should
assume
responsibility
for the
delivery
of
various
activities
related
to
career
education.
The
report
concluded
with a
number
of
recommendations
for
action
based
on these
findings
and for
further
research.
--
An
analysis
of the
results
of this
study
suggested
that
some
action
be
taken
by the
School
Counsellors'
Association
of
Newfoundland
and
Labrador
and the
Department
of
Education
to
formulate
a
suitable
working
definition
of
career
education.
As
well
,
both
groups
should
work
together
toward
defining
the
role
of
school
counsellors
in
career
education
in this
province.
