3. Counselor's Check-Up List. New Edition.

Author

B'nai B'rith, Washington, DC. Career and Counseling Services., Feingold, S. Norman, and Brown, Susan L.

Abstract

This 1978 guide revises the earlier "Counselor's Check-up List" which provided a source of new ideas and innovative techniques for the practicing counselor, the counselor educator, and the counselor in training. Items are categorized for ready reference with topics including publishers specializing in guidance-related materials and test materials, as well as audio-visual aids, government agency sources of both information and services, resources for college admissions and student financial aids, lists of placement aids, educational directories and reference material, and free or inexpensive literature sources. The purpose of the listings is to suggest means of updating the counselor's professional information. A "tongue-in-cheek" quiz asking about each category checks the reader's current awareness and usage of current resources. The list is highly selective rather than comprehensive, and it is based on the opinions of professionals in the field. (Author/LS)

4. What Makes Learners Learn? Motivational Learning Theory in Home Study.

Author

B'nai B'rith, Washington, DC. Career and Counseling Services. and Feingold, S. Norman

Abstract

Motivation is vital to all learning with the possible exception of incidental learning. Home study may adapt motivational learning theory to its goals by considering basic concepts with related examples. First, the more advance reasons an individual has to believe in the value of home study, the more likely will be the success of educational attempts enhancing that motive, especially if such motives appear realistic and reasonable to the student. Next, developing and conceptualizing of the associative network by the student increases motivation. The student's associating the motive with an improvement in his self-image further increases its utility. Accurate record-keeping by the student of progress towards goals is also helpful. Motivational changes are more effective if linked to a new reference group. Expectancy theory, contract grading, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, removal of motivational obstacles, systems design, and matching the personal needs of the individual to the environment all facilitate motivation. Thirty-seven practical suggestions for the application of motivational concepts are presented. (LS)

5. Aspire - Don't Retire.

Author

B'nai B'rith, Washington, DC. Career and Counseling Services. and Feingold, S. Norman

Abstract

Retirement is a recent phenomenon, with accompanying financial stress as income drops, and psychological strain from a loss of career identity. However, individual differences in attitudes and expectations vary with age, education, income, and between retirees and non-retirees. Needs after retirement may remain the same as in pre-retirement while activities drop; or activities may remain the same but needs may change, or both activities and needs may change. Successful retirement may require professional or lay counseling which recommends different methods of keeping active. Additional advice may be obtained from various organizations and agencies. Experts observe individual differences among increasing numbers of people planning early retirement, while among workers over age 65, there are also differences between those from the lowest income to those from the highest. The value and importance of pre-retirement planning and counseling are heavily stressed. (LS)
