Guidance History

Guidance in the United StatesFrank Parsons • The first organized guidance movement – the move to assist young people

– was started by a civic-minded leader in the early part of the 20th century.• He is rightfully called the “father” of vocational guidance movement and of

the guidance movement in general.• He started as a volunteer worker in the Civic Service House in Boston to

observe maladjusted young men and women.• organized the Breadwinners’ Institute in 1905 with a planned program for

vocational guidance.

Meyer Bloomfield• he next organized the Vocational Bureau of Boston.• For the first time, “vocational counselor” and “vocational guidance’ were

used with the present connotation.1934 – there were 35 branches of the National Vocational Guidance Association.

Guidance became national in scope when the United States Office of Education established the Occupational Information and Guidance Service with Harry A. Jaeger as director.

During World War II, guidance suffered setback when young men were drafted into the military service and to job opportunities in war industries, thus causing a considerable decrease in high school enrolment. There was also a shortage of guidance workers.

After the war, the Vocational Rehabilitation Act provided for the training and employment of disabled veterans and the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act for the education and training of veterans.


Guidance Movements in Europe• European countries and Great Britain developed guidance movement

similar to those in the United States at about the same time.• In Great Britain, as in United States, guidance suffered a setback

during World War II because young workers could readily obtain employment without vocational guidance.

• In France, there is no provision for guidance in the secondary schools. Vocational Guidance was given national recognition in 1922, when guidance services became established offices.

• In Germany, under the First Reich, although service to the Emperor was part of tradition, vocational guidance enabled boys to find jobs and aided the government to relocate workers where they were needed.

• In Russia, the vocational guidance bureau handles counseling programs.


Guidance Movement in the Philippines

• In the Philippines, guidance is said to have both accidental and incidental origin.

• Before 1925, guidance as movement, as it is now practiced and accepted, was unknown in the Philippines. It was only in 1932 when a Psychological Clinic was started by Dr. Sinforoso Padilla and which concerned itself with cases of student discipline, as well as emotional, academic and vocational problems.

• In November 1945, the first Guidance Institute was opened. The Bureau of Public Schools started to send teachers as pensionados for observation and study of guidance services abroad.

• In its report of 1951, Congress proposed the establishment of a functional guidance and counseling program to help students select their course, activities, occupations, friends, future mates.


• In 1953, the Philippine Association of• Guidance Counselors was organized in order to study

the needs, interests and potentialities of our young people and to establish a Testing Bureau.

• The most systematic guidance program in the Philippines was launced by the Guidance Section of the United States Veterans Administration composed of both American and Filipino psychologists like Dr. Sinforoso Padilla, Dr. Jesus Perpinan and Mr. Roman Tuason.
