Abstract
Emilio Mira y López (1896-1964) was the great international figure of Spanish applied psychology in the first half of the 20th century. His work “The selection of drivers for the Bus General Company” (1922) was a key contribution to the development of personnel selection and the evaluation of professional skills in Spain. Another relevant work, but scarcely cited, has been “Initiation of school children in social life. Necessity of establishing vocational guidance schools or institutes. Means for their creation and development”, to which this article is dedicated. Mira’s work consists of three parts (a) the social preparation of the child at school, (b) the need to establish vocational guidance schools or institutes, and (c) the means for its creation and development. Mira makes a distinction between guidance and selection tasks and discusses various practical aspects such as the minimum working hours of such centers, the structure of the guidance process, and the guidance functions of the center. Finally, the article summarizes Mira’s theoretical and practical contribution.
Emilio Mira y López(1896-1964)是20世纪上半叶西班牙应用心理学领域的重要国际人物。他的著作《公共汽车公司司机的选择》(1922)对西班牙人事选择和专业技能评估的发展做出了重要贡献。另一项相关的工作,但很少被引用,是“学生在社会生活中的启蒙”。设立职业指导学校或学院的必要性。它们的创造和发展的手段”,这是本文所致力于的。Mira的工作包括三个部分(a)儿童在学校的社会准备,(b)建立职业指导学校或研究所的需要,以及(c)其创建和发展的手段。Mira区分了指导和选择任务,并讨论了指导中心的最低工作时间、指导过程的结构、指导中心的功能等各种实际问题。最后,文章总结了米拉的理论和实践贡献。
