School counselors' perceptions of social advocacy training : helpful and hindering events

The purpose of this study was to provide a descriptive account of school
counselors' perceptions of helpful and hindering events of their Oregon State
University's (OSU) master's level preservice school counselor social advocacy
training. Participants as co-researchers in this study engaged in the in-depth
interview process, shared perceptions of helpful and hindering events of training,
and engaged in collaborative interpretation and data analysis. Co-researchers kept
reflective journals during this study. The major findings from this study were that
co-researchers' perceptions of helpful and hindering events of training in this
program were based on their views of how effective and facilitative this training
had proven to be in their experience as activist advocates for students in their
professional practice. Co-researchers suggested revisions of the social advocacy
training program design and content based on their lived experiences of training
and practice as social activist school counselors. / Graduation date: 2001
