Time Sampling Technique Applied To Counseling Practicum, William David Thomas
Time Sampling Technique Applied To Counseling Practicum, William David Thomas
All Master's Theses
The analysis of interactions between individuals was developed primarily within the structure of classroom education. The historical development and refinement of educational interaction analysis was examined to set its use in the counseling situation into appropriate perspective. Many forms of interaction analysis have been used to investigate a wide range of variables. The review of the literature revealed discrepancies in the reported changes, if any, that took place in the verbal behavior of student counselors as a result of practicum training. To clarify this situation somewhat, this study attempted to observe student counselor verbal behavior change in association with practicum.

The Value Of The Parent-Teacher Conference, Suteerat Ungjaroen
All Master's Theses
Many of the problems of an individual pupil's education can be solved through a harmonious attitude between his parents and teacher.

From this composite picture, the parents and teacher can determine what the child needs, both at home and at school. However, it must be understood that good parent-teacher conferences do not just happen. As a matter of fact, the beginning teacher faces a difficult problem of communicating effectively with the …

Duty Performance Of Vocational Guidance Counselors, Richard K. Swanson
Duty Performance Of Vocational Guidance Counselors, Richard K. Swanson
All Master's Theses
It appeared to the author from reviewing the proposed Washington State Standards that perhaps the "quality" and "guidance functions" recommended by the Panel and adopted by the Vocational Education Act, to be available to students, were not being met by the counselors qualifying under the variety of requirements available to Washington State counselors. More specifically, it appeared that counselors being certified under a particular set of requirements would tend to perform a particular stage of counseling more successfully due to the experiences required for certification.
