Historical and Philosophical Perspective of
Guidance
Introduction
• Although guidance is said to be as old as education itself, yet, modern interpretation of guidance could not be found in the pre-twentieth century educational literature. It is true that the concept is closely related to emphases placed by earlier philosophers on the need to understand the child in order to lead him into the paths of righteousness and to help him, achieve good personal and social development. Guidance, as we interpret the term, is a 20th century contribution to education.
