The purpose of this paper is to evolve a sustainable practical model of employability skills that is sure to capture relevant learning aspects of a particular occupational discipline to be used as framework for Undergraduate students to develop their employability potentials. The study was conducted in three Universities and Polytechnics each with…

Describes the co-leading experience of a trainee who is paired with a senior therapist. Explores the advantages and disadvantages of this approach for training counselors in group work. Provides recommendations to prospective trainees and supervising co-leaders. (KW)

The absentee-cuing system investigated in this study refers to the use of a wireless microphone by a counselor trainer to transmit messages to a counselor-in-training while she or he is actually engaged in the act of counseling. The system is a rich source for improving counselor training in every regard. (Author)

Surveyed 28 counseling practicum students and found that although their most time-intensive training activity was listening to postsession audiotapes, it ranked fifth on perceived effectiveness, with supervisor feedback ranking first. Outlines a method of feedback using dual-channel (stereophonic) tape recorders in the counseling laboratory. (JAC)

Compared two models of family therapy supervision: supervision based on delayed feedback supervision concepts and supervision based on the concepts of live supervision using the team approach. No significant differences were detected between the two supervision models in their ability to help interns acquire and retain selected family therapy…

Examined the effectiveness of a skill-training method for intake interviewing skills (didactic instruction, modeling, and feedback) compared to didactic instruction alone and a delayed-training control group. No training effects were found in identifying client information, in using facilitative interview behaviors, or in client ratings of…

In light of inconsistent findings associated with self-actualizing research with counselors-in-training (CITs), this study focused on major concerns. Will different theoretical leadership orientations impact differently on the psychological growth of CITs? Is there another method which is more sensitive to behavior associated with…

This article presents a practicum and internship model in the graduate rehabilitation counseling program at Bowling Green State University. Emphasis is placed on the training of process-oriented counselors. (Author)

Reports on a nationwide survey of graduate teaching assistant (GTA) training and teaching resources available to faculty. Discusses examples of workable programs and comparisons of GTA training models. Concludes that even when there is some formal structure in the GTA training program, these experiences are brief and follow-up activities are…

Describes a model called EPOSODE (Enhanced Procedural Orchestration through Student Observation and Detection of Errors) that uses performance errors to teach and assess procedural knowledge via computer-based interactive video (CBIV) technology. Two prototypes based on EPOSODE are described, and Anderson's theory of procedural knowledge is…

Examines Simulated Group Counseling (SGC), a training model for graduate-level group workers. During a four-year period, 98 graduate students participated in 12 role-played SGC groups. SGC followed a model of group development and was highly consistent with expected changes in non-role-played groups. Discusses SGC advantages, especially related to…

Analyzed all interventions made by trainers in two unstructured small groups (N=19) and examined their contributions to members' learning. Results indicated that participants in small groups with an experiential focus tend to learn most when they are taught directly. (LLL)

Presents the findings of an evaluation of this training program for graduate teaching assistants (TAs) at the University of Illinois. Various activities of the program are described; the perceptions and judgments of departments, faculty, and TAs participating in the program are detailed; and costs involved in the program are assessed.

The relationship between the number of task, interpersonal, and hindering events and session outcome was examined for prepracticum trainees. Implications for counselor training are discussed. (Author)

Examines the extent to which psychology students are prepared to teach by assessing teaching assistant (TA) training from the perspective of both TAs and department chairs using U.S. survey data. Focuses on (1) the prevalence and scope of TA training that psychology departments provide and (2) factors associated with differing amounts of training.…
