Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the present study was to describe the stereotypical images of a career counsellor through
drawings. The research was based on a sample of Estonian (N=22), Finnish (N=18) and Latvian (N=22)
initial teacher training students who participated in international career guidance e-learning course lasting one academic semester. At the end of the course students were asked to draw their images of a career counsellor, and their drawings were analyzed systematically based on the modified version of the
checklist developed by Barrow (2000). Respondents’ drawings were scored independently by two raters
with the overt features in drawings by a frequency count basis. Findings from present study using the
Draw a Career Counsellor Test (DACCT) showed that preservice teachers drawings reflected several
stereotypical imagines: the stereotypes of the career counsellor, the client stereotypes, and stereotypic
elements of configuration of the working environment of the career counsellor.
