THE DEVELOPMENT AND FIELD TESTING OF A SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL MODULE IN COUNSELOR SUPERVISION

This study focused on supervision training in the preparation of doctoral students in counseling. A self-instructional module was developed and initially field tested. The module employed a linear, constructed response format to introduce doctoral students to the three, primary, interpersonal approaches to supervision--the psychotherapeutic, the behavioral, and the integrated. Prior to the development of the module, a nationwide survey was conducted of all counselor education, or related, programs offering the doctorate to determine the state of the art of supervision training, to gauge the perceived usefulness of a self-instructional instrument, and to provide guidelines for constructing the module. The survey responses indicated that training in supervision is an important aspect of doctoral preparation in counseling which needs further investigation and that counselor educators would be willing to use a self-instructional module in supervision training. The initial field testing of the module involved 16 students. The results showed that a statistically significant (p < .005) increase in knowledge of counselor supervision was achieved. However, the criterion levels for determining substantive gain in knowledge were not met, and the individual frames within the module did not usually elicit the correct response(s). It was suggested that restructuring the module might increase its effectiveness as an instructional tool. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-02, Section: A, page: 0536. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
