School psychologists have increased their practice of consultation within the schools due to mandates by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and positive outcomes associated with the service. Previous research has examined how training directors at school psychology graduate programs viewed consultation training. The current study investigated how school psychologists view their training in consultation and how they view the practice of consultation in school systems. A random sample of 510 school psychologists from across the country was sent a survey to obtain their perspectives on consultation. A 46% return rate was achieved. The respondents were divided into two groups based on the practitioner’s years of experience (i.e., more than 10 years experience and less than 10 years experience) in order to make comparisons based on when the school psychologists received their training. Results indicated that recent graduates reported more comprehensive training in consultation, a heavier emphasis on collaborative and problem-solving consultation and significantly higher levels of satisfaction with consultation training and practice. However, recent graduates did not perceive their skills with consultation to be higher than school psychologists with less training, but more experience.

本研究目的在探討家長諮詢訓練方案對提昇輔導志工自我效能，以及改善家長教養行為的實驗成效。實驗處理為家長諮詢訓練方案，其內容以諮詢服務的觀點，結合父母效能系統訓練和焦點解決短期治療的理念與技術。研究對象以台北縣家庭教育中心的輔導志工48人（實驗組和控制組各24人），以及接受輔導志工諮詢的家長31人（實驗組18人，控制組13人），研究工具為輔導志工自我效能量表以及父母教養行為量表。資料處理採二因子混合設計變異數分析。研究結果發現，接受訓練方案之實驗組輔導志工較控制組輔導志工在自我效能有顯著的提昇；接受訓練方案之輔導志工較控制組輔導志工，其親職諮詢對父母的教養行為改善有顯著效果。本研究的結論顯示家長諮詢訓練方案確實能提昇輔導志工自我效能及有效改善家長教養行為，並據此對家庭教育中心的親職諮詢、親職教育、諮商實務和未來研究提出具體建議。 / This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of parental consultation training program applied to volunteer counselors and the indirect effect of the training program on parental nurture behaviors.
