Developmental Counseling |
|
a process of academic
advising that includes the exploration of life and vocational goals,
program choice, course choice, and scheduling courses (O'Banion,
1972/94, p. 10). |
|
Extended Definition |
It is concerned not
only with a specific personal or vocational decision but also with
facilitating the student's rational processes, environmental and
interpersonal interactions, behavior awareness, and problem-solving,
decision-making, and evaluation skills, because advisors do not make the
decisions: students do. The advisor provides information, nurtures the
student’s growth in skills, and provides a climate of freedom in which
students can best make such decisions. This type of facilitation,
teaching the student to fish rather than giving the student a fish,
takes a great deal of skill and knowledge on the part of the adviser. |

|
Extended Definition |
Developmental education is a field of practice and research within
higher education with a theoretical foundation in developmental
psychology and learning theory. It is sensitive and responsive to the
individual differences and special needs among learners. Some consider
it to be synonymous with remedial education, but others (Pat Cross)
consider the aim of developmental education to be broader, promoting the
development or growth of talent, and cognitive and affective growth of
all postsecondary learners, at all levels of the learning continuum.
