The main aim of this paper is to analyse the current trends and tendencies within career counselling research and theories. The author summarises existing career counselling studies as well as makes the case for using A. Giddens’ theory of structuration in career counselling analysis.

The main aim of this presentation is to discuss issues pertaining to socio-cultural contexts of the role of career counsellor. I will start with the general statement that career counselling is a learning process. According to Tom Luken career learning itself is a lifelong learning process 'by which people develop a career identity and the abilities to guide their own learning and vocational life'. (Luken, in print, Meijers 2009) Nowadays, in the shadow of the economic crisis, rising unemployment rates and dismantlement of the welfare state in many countries around the world, the European Commission has appointed career counselling to be not only one of the most important ways of supporting people in the process of career constructing but also one the crucial factors contributing to the community (or society) development. (EU, 2010) It is because career counselling should counteract the

A recent national study of career and employment counselling in Canada showed that evaluation typically receives little attention. Encouragingly, meta-analyses conducted in the United States have indicated that career counselling produces positive effects and that these are, on the average, of the same magnitude as those brought about by well-developed psychological, educational, and behavioural interventions in general. Additional evaluative research is needed, however, to clarify the central questions of why career counselling is effective, with whom, underwhat conditions, and on which outcome dimensions. To encourage the investigation of these issues, selected process-oriented and outcome-oriented evaluation strategies described in the recent literature were presented. Illustrations of their application were drawn from the author's research and that of his students. Résumé Selon une étude nationale récente du counseling de carrière et d'emploi au Canada (Conger, Hiebert Sc Hong-Farrell, 1994), on se préoccupe peu de l'évaluation. Des méta-analyses américaines encourageantes ont suggéré que le counseling de carrière produit des effets positifs et que ceux-ci sont, en moyenne, du même ordre d'importance que ceux produits par des interventions bien développés de caractère psychologique, éducatif, et comportemental, plus généralement. Il faut d'autres recherches évaluatives, cependant, afin d'expliquer pourquoi le counseling de carrière est efficace, avec qui, sous quelles conditions, et sur quelles dimensions. Pour promouvoir la recherche sur ces questions, des stratégies axées sur les processus et sur les résultats du counseling de carrière furent décrites. Afin d'illustrer l'application de ces stratégies, des exemples tirés des recherches de l'auteur et de ses étudiants furent présentés.

The article analyzes the current status of student counselling in vocational education institutions, contextualizes findings on this problem and discloses contradictory points of counselling. It is justified that vocational education institutions normally view professional career counselling as the processes of dealing with and solving students' internal conflicts within professional self-determination. Career centres are positioned to be the implementers of the ideas of student career counselling. However, such research methods as theoretical analysis, comparison, pedagogical observations and logical generalization made it possible to specify some typical problematic aspects of career counselling within professional development of the modern personality, which are mostly reduced to the inconsistencies of the ideal and real images of the chosen career, subjective perception and ignoring of value orientations in relation to professional success and career growth in a market environment, irrelevant self-assessment of individual and personal qualities, etc. The authors of the research suggest some promising ways of solving the problematic aspects of student counselling in vocational education institutions, which are conceptualized in the mechanisms of a productive innovative interaction between scholars from the Institute for Vocational Education of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences (NAPS) of Ukraine and the teaching staff and are implemented in the framework of introducing the system of professional career counselling in vocational education.

This article reports on the change in the career adaptability of participants exposed to an intervention programme characterized by career and selfconstruction principles compared to the change in participants who participated in standard, traditional career counselling lessons. Convenience and purposive sampling were used to select two groups (experimental and comparison of Grade 11 learners). Intervention occurred in both experimental groups. A mixed methods, quasi-experimental, pre-test/posttest comparison group design was used to gather data. Pre-and post-test scores obtained on the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) were analysed. The quantitative results suggested that the intervention programme did not improve participants' career adaptability compared to standard, traditional career counselling lessons as measured by the CAAS. Future research should include the use of measures of self-reflection and meaning-making to test the direct effects of experimental interventions.

The relationship between inside and outside is considered as the principal one in architecture as it is one of its most important relationships in architecture's history. Human had tended, from the very creation of being, to withhold a part of the outside space in order to form a special inside space of the building. This is done through containment as in making the cave as a refuge or through designation as in setting a space by using vertical or horizontal elements. This process is called "inside and outside" which might be the leading generated term of building construction. Human firstly and the architect secondly aim at finding, unceasingly, a relationship between interior and exterior spaces. And, as they do so; they manipulate the outer mass, inner space and mutual boundaries in-between through shaping them in a way yielding a relationship between both interior and exterior spaces; thus, to find similarity or dissimilarity between the shapes of the outer mass and the inner mass of the interior space. The present study attempts to study the similarity characteristic by studying its contrast as a characteristic of the relationship between interior and exterior to determine the differences between the architects' trends (Mies and Venturi) regarding to the relation of inside and outside. this relationship will be having a big role in determining the patterns of buildings, their trends, and intellectual and spatial affiliations. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, in the practical side, three (3) single residential houses were chosen for each architect, and After applying difference variables to the selected sample, throughout the study a vision had been put into words expressed in that: the difference between inside and outside is what is known as the (In between), Which is the resultant of, basically, pro forma purposes, which are adapted to perform particular functions later as in Mies Architecture, or any strict functional purposes as in Venturi Architecture.
