Student Attitudes and Instructor Participation in Experiential Groups
St. Pierre, Betsy K.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v39 n3 p194-211 2014
A total of 330 members of the American Counseling Association were surveyed to determine current group training models in counselor education. The results indicate: (1) the most common model is to have a full-time faculty member both instruct the group work course and facilitate the experiential group, (2) ethical concerns do negatively impact student involvement in the experiential group, and (3) a contributing factor to students feeling comfortable in the group experience was the belief that the instructor was competent. Implications and recommendations based upon these findings are suggested, as well as student-generated recommendations on how to implement the experiential group.
