Investigating School Counselors' Perceived Multicultural Competence
Holcomb-McCoy, Cheryl C.
Professional School Counseling, v8 n5 p414 Jun 2005
Despite the increased attention paid to the preparation of multiculturally competent school counselors, there is a paucity of information regarding the multicultural competence of existing professional school counselors. Therefore, this study's primary goal was to focus on school counselors' perceptions of their own multicultural counseling competence. It examined the perceived multicultural counseling competence of 209 professional school counselors by using the Multicultural Counseling Competence and Training Survey--Revised (MCCTS-R; Holcomb-McCoy & Myers, 1999). Participants reported that they are at least somewhat competent on all of the multicultural competence domains of the MCCTS-R. In addition, the findings suggested that participants" perceived multicultural counseling competence on the multicultural knowledge and terminology domains differed significantly based on whether they had taken an entry-level multicultural course.
