Elbeck, Matt; Bacon, Don – Journal of Education for Business, 2015
The absence of universally accepted definitions for direct and indirect assessment motivates the purpose of this article: to offer definitions that are literature-based and theoretically driven, meeting K. Lewin's (1945) dictum that, "There is nothing so practical as a good theory" (p. 129). The authors synthesize the literature to…

Tate, Kevin A.; Rivera, Edil Torres; Conwill, William L.; Miller, M. David; Puig, Ana – Journal for Specialists in Group Work, 2013
There is a clear call in group counseling practice and training for evidence-based practice (ACA, 2005; ASGW, 2008; CACREP, 2009). At the same time, group counselors also are asked to keep clients' experience at the center of their work (ASGW, 2012). This article outlines the authors' effort to develop and study an instrument designed to measure…
