The empirical research consisted of: <ul> *** A nomothetic investigation which indicated that many of the sample group students fall far short of almost all of the thirty subfields of the life skills questionnaire, and that they can be helped to acquire both multi-modal counselling and life skills. *** An idiographic research involving nine counsellees also confirmed these results.
Die doel met die onderhawige ondersoek is om aan te dui wat die bydrae van skoolvoorligting en 'n multi-modale benadering is. Sekondere skoolleerlinge is by 'n empiriese ondersoek betrek. Aan die hand van 'n vraelys is vasgestel wat hierdie leerlinge se besondere lewensbehoeftes is. Leerlinge wat uitvalle ten aansien van bepaalde lewenskundighede en -vaardighede toon, is by 'n multi-modale hulpverleningsprogram betrek. Die uitkomste van die hulpverlening toon duidelik aan dat 'n multi-modale benadering in sinsamehang met die beginsels van skoolvoorligting, 'n bydrae kan lewer om sekondere skoolleerlinge toe te rus om alledaagse probleme die hoof te kan bied.
