Video Packaging: Integrating Simulation Techniques and Systematic Skill Training

Abstract

Procedures for developing a videotaped counselor skill training package are outlined. Eleven steps describe the plan for integrating simulation techniques and a systematic training paradigm for the video package. The steps range from a pretest to posttest assessment, with each step highlighting which training aspects are to be taped in the video sequence.During the past several years increasing attention has been focused on simulated videotape materials and systematic training paradigms. It seems clear that the use of videotape equipment is meeting previously unmet needs for practical, visual stimuli in counselor training programs.

Personalizing Demonstration‐Based Counselor Evaluation: The Anatomy of an Alternative

“…Counselor education and related training programs historically use videotaping procedures to enhance and evaluate skill acquisition (Alssid & Hutchinson, 1977;Brown, 1977;Connolly & Bird, 1977;Goldberg, 1971;Hess, 1977;Ivey, 1974;Katz, 1975;Ryan, 1969;Tardiff, Redfield, & Koran, 1978;Thayer, 1977;Waw-JANUARY 1981rykow, 1970Yenawine & Arbuckle, 1971). Many schools and training centers regularly present prepackaged video training systems as an integral part of their instructional programs.…”
