Pupils and the advisory function of the pedagogue in school

Abstract

The results of a research done in some elementary schools shows that the advisory function of the pedagogue does not fulfil the expectations of the pupils to the required extent. Pupils, on one hand, are not acquainted and encouraged enough to contact, freely with the pedagogue of the school, while, on the other hand, pedagogues are not available sufficiently to the pupils because of their obligations, and especially because of their insufficient knowledge, relevant for their advisory work. The research was done in 1985/86. in some elementary schools all over Zagreb.
