The authors implemented a single‐case research design to evaluate a 6‐week mindfulness‐based intervention on counselor–client attunement with counselor trainees. Mindfulness‐trained counselors (n = 5) demonstrated attunement levels at 1.58 times the rate of a comparison group (n = 4). The authors discuss future research on mindfulness in counselor training and the usefulness of single‐case methods for empirical validation of interventions.
This study examined differences in levels of learning and perceived efficiency between online (n ¼ 22) and face-to-face (n ¼ 32) graduate level subjects. Participants were master's students enrolled in an accredited counselor preparation program. Findings indicated that students in both groups equally exhibited gains in levels of learning; however, there was a significant difference between groups in perceived learning efficiency, favoring the online instructional modality. Limitations regarding this study are noted, particularly related to the research design. Additional studies examining levels of learning and perceived efficiency of students enrolled in online courses are recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
