The main purpose of this investigation, namely an
appreciation of the Education Aid Service of the TED, was
briefly formulated in Chapter 1. Central concepts as used
in the study, were broadly defined.
Chapter 2 is mainly a review of relevant literature and deals
with the aim and functioning of Guidance Services I Education
Aid Services in general, with specific reference to the
organization and administration of such services and the
nature of guidance programmes in the United States of
America, Britain and West Germany. Different approaches
to Guidance and the principles of Guidance Services were
reviewed. The training and qualifications of Guidance
personnel in the • above-mentioned countries were also
investigated. The aim of this review was to set criterion on
which the Education Aid Service of the TED could be judged
in chapter 5.
The origin and development of the Education Aid Service of
the TED since its modest inception in 1914 is described in
chapter 3. This was outlined in four clearly distinguishable
stages, viz. the origin and development of the Psychological
Service, the development of the Vocational Guidance Service,
the amalgamation of these two services in 1955 and the
inception of the present Education Aid Service in 1983.
The aims and policy, organization and administration as well
as personnel aspects of the Transvaal Education Aid Service
of the present day were investigated in chapter 4. A
distinction was drawn between the general guidance program
in schools and the activities of the specialised field of the
Education Aid Centres and Child Guidance Clinics.
The Education Aid Service was evaluated in chapter 5 and
general conclusions derived from the study were summarized.
A few recommendations based on these conclusions were
finally made. They include an empirical investigation into
the aims of the present guidance programmes of the Education
Aid Service, a change in approach by the Educational Aid
Centre, understaffing at Child Guidance Clinics and
Education Aid Centres, physical facilities for guidance in
schools and training and qualifications of guidance personnel. / Skripsie (MEd)--PU vir CHO, 1990
