Abstract (in English)

This review has looked at guidance and counseling in the transition from primary and lower secondary
school to upper secondary education, from upper secondary education to higher education, and of employed
adults, i.e. ’transition guidance and counseling.’ It contains only studies that deal with guidance and
counseling in which the effects are documented.
It appears from the foregoing section that, on the basis of the 39 studies included in this review, we can say
that what contributes most to guidance and counseling as a feeling of clarification and decision-making
competence is a combination of many forms of intervention (guidance and counseling activities) that are
part of a curriculum.

Abstract (in English)

This summary, which accompanies a fuller report entitled ‘The Contribution of Careers Education and Guidance To School Effectiveness In ‘Partnership’ Schools’, provides an overview of the findings from the first phase of a research project that was carried out by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) between December 1998 and September 1999. The study, which was conducted in 30 selected schools across England, was
commissioned by the DfEE in order to gain a clearer understanding of the impact that careers education and guidance might have upon the overall effectiveness of schools.

Abstract (in English)

Relationships between the statewide implementation of comprehensive guidance programs and the school experiences of high school students were explored. Data from 22,964 students attending 236 Missouri high schools were analyzed by using hierarchical linear modeling. Schools with more fully implemented model guidance programs had students who were more likely to report that (a) they had earned higher grades, (b) their education was better preparing them for their future, (c) their school made more career and college information available to them, and (d) their school had a more positive climate. Positive program effects were found after removing differences due to school enrollment size, socioeconomic status, and percentage of minority students in attendance. Results highlight the important roles school counselors play in promoting the central educational goals of their schools and support a comprehensive guidance program focus for university counseling faculty who train school counselors.
