GUIDANCE PROGRAM
A. INTRODUCTION
It is hoped that, with this program, negative perceptions on guidance be redirected and lack of awareness on ethical standards be addressed to improve the
effectiveness of the Guidance Services. For with the negative perceptions and lack of awareness on ethical standards cause malpractices in guidance
programbeing implemented in such a “diluted fashion that people in need receive no or minimal benefit.” Hence, defeating the purpose of the program.
Some Negative Perceptions About Guidance.
Among the negative perceptions found out in the study are the following which need redirection or correction among the 940 respondents composed of
administrators, guidance implementers, teachers, students and parents: On the role of a guidance counselor-
A guidance counselor
1) is an enforcer of discipline; .
2). is somebody to be feared in the school;
3). substitutes for teachers who are absent; 4). works as a private detective;
4). gives punishment to erring student; and,
5). investigates cases;
Other views-
1). It is an embarrassing experience to be called to talk to a guidance counselor in the guidance office; and,
2). A guidance office is like a police station. Those items are misconceptions andnot with in the professional duties
and responsibilities of guidance counselors nor mark of an effective guidance program.
Authorities in the field of guidance and counselingdescribe Guidance Program as an organized group of services
established for the purpose of assisting each student to attain maximum potential development and adjustment to be
able to acquire mature sense of responsibilities.
