Early 20th-century pioneers in vocational guidance and guidance curricula include which pair?

• A. Eli Weaver and Jesse Davis
• B. Carl Rogers and B.F. Skinner
• C. Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson
• D. Abraham Maslow and Carl Jung

Answer: (A)

In the early 1900s, the idea of guiding students toward suitable careers within the school curriculum was just taking shape. Jesse Davis, a school administrator, helped inaugurate formal guidance services in schools, and his collaboration with Eli Weaver contributed to building a structured guidance curriculum that connected assessment, career information, and counseling to students’ educational paths. This makes them early champions of vocational guidance and of embedding guidance into the school curriculum, marking a clear departure from ad hoc counseling to a systematic program. The other names listed are known for theories and work in psychology that come later or in different domains—psychoanalysis, behaviorism, or humanistic/analytic psychology—not for pioneering school-based vocational guidance in the early 20th century.
