Using his psychobiography of Frederick Douglass as an example, the author describes how such material may be used to teach psychoanalytic developmental theory to parents who are enrolled in social welfare programs. (Author)

This article presents a practicum and internship model in the graduate rehabilitation counseling program at Bowling Green State University. Emphasis is placed on the training of process-oriented counselors. (Author)

Discusses a new training model that takes into account the diversity of learners and the emotional, physical and social environmental conditions essential for lifelong learning. Considers how the brain learns and functions, brain-based learning, multiple intelligence, and emotional intelligence as well as personal reflection. (LRW)

Reports on a nationwide survey of graduate teaching assistant (GTA) training and teaching resources available to faculty. Discusses examples of workable programs and comparisons of GTA training models. Concludes that even when there is some formal structure in the GTA training program, these experiences are brief and follow-up activities are…

Describes a model called EPOSODE (Enhanced Procedural Orchestration through Student Observation and Detection of Errors) that uses performance errors to teach and assess procedural knowledge via computer-based interactive video (CBIV) technology. Two prototypes based on EPOSODE are described, and Anderson's theory of procedural knowledge is…

The paper describes a strategic models approach to programing for severely handicapped students which incorporates behavioral, developmental, adaptive remedial, and functional teaching approaches. The role of the staff member and assessment and intervention strategies within each approach are presented. (Author/DB)

This article describes a training design to help counselor trainees perceive the positive and negative messages in a client's internal dialog. Twenty graduate counselors-in-training produced 2 10-minute interviews with simultaneous feedback from an anticounselor (gives explicit negative messages) and a procounselor (gives explicit positive…

Presents a model for training end-users of in-house computer systems that consists of nine stages: needs assessment; defining the learning objective; analyzing existing training; written documentation; selecting training methods; adult learning issues; minimalist design strategies; testing documents; and evaluating the training session. (34…

Discusses the evaluation of workshops and conferences and presents an application of Kirkpatrick's four-stage evaluation model, an accepted model for measuring performance and instructional interventions. Highlights include presurveys and postsurveys; participant reaction forms during the meetings; and assessing previous participants. (10…

Examines Simulated Group Counseling (SGC), a training model for graduate-level group workers. During a four-year period, 98 graduate students participated in 12 role-played SGC groups. SGC followed a model of group development and was highly consistent with expected changes in non-role-played groups. Discusses SGC advantages, especially related to…

Human service education students who are interested in pursuing a career in rehabilitation need to be cognizant of the prominent theoretical models that guide rehabilitationalists. This paper consolidates and synthesizes the literature and provides a quick reference for students to investigate each model in more detail. (Contains 28 references.)…

Describes a learner-centered training model which draws from recent research on brain-based learning, multiple intelligences, and emotional intelligences. Emphasizes the importance of attending to trainees' emotional, physical, and social environments in addition to their cognitive environment. (EV)

Home- and center-based child caregivers were randomly assigned to training and control groups. Caregivers who received training on inclusion attended group meetings and observed either live, or videotaped, on-site demonstrations. Caregivers who received training scored significantly higher on an observation scale and self-rating questionnaire than…

Discusses a cognitive-social learning model of social skills training to assist young children to greater levels of peer acceptance. Details the model's three components: enhancing skill concepts, promoting skill performance, and fostering skill maintenance and generalization. Emphasizes that trainers must understand the model as well as the…
