This investigation determines the extent to which Vocational Guidance for
junior secondary gifted pupils is effectively administered in the Transvaal.
Authoratative literature on Vocational Guidance for the gifted child serves as
theoretical background.
The characteristics, needs and developmental possibilities of the gifted child
are investigated in terms of a vocational guidance programme.
The function of the home, school and "world of work" regarding the gifted
child's vocational education and guidance are considered. The emphasis,
however, is placed on the role of the school, and in particular the role of the
Head of Department: Educational Guidance; subject teachers and the
Educational Advisor: Vocational matters.
In the empirical investigation, a questionnaire was completed by Heads of
Department: Educational Guidance, in a number of Afrikaans-medium and
double-medium Secondary Schools. The SAS computer programme is applied
to determine the average of the responses for each question.
The results of the investigation indicate that certain aspects of the existing
Vocational Guidance programme are effective. There are however, a number
of areas what deserve more attention, and possibly need to be revised.
For the Vocational Guidance programme to be really effective, the existing
programme needs to be implemented maximally, while comprehensive
involvement of a committed teaching staff is essential. It is important to
consider the latest developments regarding the vocational education of the
gifted child In order to revise the present programme periodically. / Thesis (MEd)--PU vir CHO, 1990
