Discussing career decision making (CDM), career guidance, a
computerized system of career guidance, and the interplay among
them, this book describes the way people sort themselves, or are
sorted, into educational and occupational options. The options
represent the content of this book, and the sorting represents the
process. The sequence of decisions may extend over a lifetime, but
several crucial choice-points tend to occur at predictable stages
in a career. Career guidance is a professional intervention in CDM;
"professional" implies that practitioners conform to a standard of
ethics, knowledge, and competence beyond what may be offered by
other intervenors. Guidance is partly an art, but it is also partly
a science -- at least an application of science, based on a
synthesis of logic and evidence derived from research.
The computerized "System of Interactive Guidance and Information"
(SIGI) is a designated guidance "treatment," clearly defined and
specified. It was developed according to an explicit model, derived
from a particular rationale for guidance, using modern technology
to amplify the practice of career guidance. The current version --
called SIGI PLUS TM -- is being used at more than a thousand
colleges and universities, as well as secondary schools, libraries,
corporations, community-based organizations, and counseling
agencies.
These three interdependent topics are treated in a progression:
from a theory of CDM to a rationale and a model for guidance to the
design and development of a system. This book weaves together
theory (principles, propositions, rationales, and models), research
and development. The product of that development, SIGI, helps to
definetheory, to exemplify it, and to test it.
