Abstract/Summary

This study proposes an organized program of guidance for the high school department of St. Mary's College intended to serve as a workable pattern or guide for the fifty two other high schools managed by the Congregation of the Religious of the Virgin Mary of the Philippines. The normative-survey method of research was used in this study. The study was limited to the high school department of St. Mary's College in Quezon City during the second semester of the academic year 1964-65. The average yearly enrollment was more than 300 students, whose ages ranged from 11 to 16. The materials for this study were taken from primary sources as students' records, interviews and observations and from such secondary sources as books, magazines, periodicals, and studies, both published and unpublished. Based on this study, it was found that there was an imperative need for an organized guidance program in all the fifty-three R.V.M. high schools. Three general approaches or organizational patterns for guidance services proposed for R.V.M. high schools were presented in this study. Personal, educational, vocational, and health guidance were also proposed for the R.V.M. schools. The proposed program included essential guidance services such as individual inventory, counselling, socio-economic information, placement and follow-up, and religious information and activity services. Factors which condition the organization of a guidance program were the types of schools, the philosophy and objectives, the administrative organization, and the curriculum.

The practical steps in setting up a guidance program were presented as follows: 1. Establish the philosophy of the school and the philosophy of guidance through in-service training of the school personnel 2. Establish clear-cut, well-defined objectives of the guidance program 3. Determine what type of organization pattern to use 4. Secure the eight types of information to use and 5. Set up the counselling and individual inventory services first.
