Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper tries to make us reflect on the future of Educational and Vocational Guidance within the current sociocultural crossroads and suggests some ideas about its possible evolution. It encourages us to face the problem and analyzes the importance that the new scientific field of "Prospective" is gaining in order to provide scientific solutions to the uncertain future challenges. An overview image of the state of the art in Guidance is suggested in order to discuss its possible functions within the coming society, in relation to: demographics (aging and migrations), youth, multiculture, technology, the school (specialization, diagnosis and reform), the labour world and its emerging trends and, finally, about the potential evolution of the current Guidance models. Suggestions are put forward, but the great questions still remain open. It concludes by emphasyzing that the objective of the paper was just to activate our creative thinking and motivate us to reflect upon our professional future.
