Developmental Advising
- Advising is a process in which advisor and advisee enter a dynamic
relationship respectful of the student's concerns. Ideally, the advisor
serves as teacher and guide in an interactive partnership aimed at
enhancing the student's self-awareness and fulfillment.
O'Banion, T. (1972). An academic advising model. Junior College Journal,
42, 62-69.
- Developmental counseling or advising 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.
Crookston, B. B. (1972). A developmental view of academic advising as
teaching. Journal of College Student Personnel, volume 13, pp. 12-17.
- A systematic process based on a close student-advisor relationship
intended to aid students in achieving educational, career, and personal
goals through the use of the full range of institutional and community
resources.
