Le counselling dans la pratique de l'orientation continue

After a sketchy history of the early development of vocational guidance in Belgium, the author describes eight vectors, which he considers instrumental in the guidance process. These are (1) personal involvement and decision-making, (2) pedagogy, (3) the socio-economic vector, (4) the physical vector, (5) the vector interests, (6) the vector aptitudes, (7) the affective vector, and (8) the vector educational capacities.On the basis of this structure the laboratory for Ergology in Brussels develops a coherent set of materials to facilitate the student's process of decision-making. This system will be ready for implementation at the end of the current academic year.
