    Attitudes of Students Towards Guidance and Counselling In Machakos District
    (Tangaza University College, 1999-05) Ongoro, Ongito John
    The significance of guidance and counseling to all present and future endeavour of students can not be ignored. Thus to give support to school guidance and counseling, the researcher saw the need to carry out the study ir. attitudes of the students towards guidance and counseling. The knowledge of the attitudes of students towards guidance and counseling is indispensable in any endeavour to offer assistance to students. The first chapter explains why the study of attitudes of the students is significant. In doing this the background of the study alerts you about the significance of guidance and counseling in relation to the widespread problems and challenges that the students encounter. Statement of the problems informs you about some of the challenges that teacher-counselors encounter in their work of guidance and counseling. Seven research questions in chapter one are the guide on which this study relies. As stated in this chapter the significance of this study is that it will enhance the required awareness and understanding about attitudes of the students towards guidance and counseling. This will enable the teacher counselors and all those involved in school guidance and counseling to make any necessary adjustment in the provision of guidance and counseling services. Chapter two gives focus to definitions of attitudes, guidance and counseling. In the definition of attitude, attitude has been divided into three component parts: Cognitive, affective and behavioural. In brief, school guidance and counseling as defined by Gustard and Ipaye is a process in which teacher counselors avail their assistance to enable students to understand and appreciate themselves, to discover their capabilities and to become more productive and happier people in-the society. The chapter also recalls previous studies which have been carried and which are related to this study of attitudes of students towards guidance and counseling. These studies revealed that there are various factors which influence students' attitudes towards guidance and counseling. These factors ranges from prejudices against guidance and counseling to teacher-counselors' attitudes. Fear is among these factors. As it has been stated in chapter three, only questionnaire method was used in this research. The prepared questionnaires for the students and the teacher-counselors were administered by a research assistant. The research assistant visited three sample schools in Machakos districts. Convenient sampling was applied in the selection of these schools and in the selection of the subjects. Out of a total of 71 questionnaires, 52 were received back. The researcher applied Liked scale in the analysis cf the data. Percentages and frequencies were calculated in this analysis. Following the analysis of the data, mean scores, percentages and frequencies were used in the presentation and discussion of the result in the fourth chapter. The results were presented in accordance to the research questions and brief discussion follows the presentation. Contrary to the researchers' expectation, most of the results in chapter four reveals that in general students attitudes towards guidance and counseling is positive. Chapter five concludes by stating that most of the students accept that guidance and counseling is significant to their lives. They reckon that the significance of guidance and counseling is not limited to school life. It is also significant in their life as individuals in the society and as future citizens. Female students prefer individual guidance and counseling unlike their male studentcounterparts. Just as it was revealed in the previous studies, it has been revealed that most of the students are reluctant to seek guidance and counseling despite their positive attitudes towards guidance and counseling. Chapter five confirms that this reluctance is caused by fear prejudices and some of the teachercounselors' defeating attitudes.
