- W214550269 abstract "Assessment of Counseling skills using web-based cases Educational Challenge, Aim and Theoretical Framework The European Council has underlined the importance of access higher education regardless of gender, age, ethnic background/heritage or disability (CEDEFOP 2002; Governmental report 2001). This requires a more flexible university system with alternative forms of educational practice and assessment. Theories which have been influential in schools and teacher education over recent decades include cognitive science and socio-cultural learning. (Schwandt, 1994; Marton,1977; Saljo, 2005). The general assumption of how learning takes place, for these theories, is that knowledge is constructed differently in different cultural settings, and that the development and constitution of knowledge is active, individual and involves a social process (Moll, 1990; Vygotsky, 1978). These have also influenced the organization of education/teaching processes. (Saljo 2005, Kvale, 2003). Such current educational discourses plus the wish widen access higher education have placed increasing demands on universities adapt and transform their teaching, learning and assessment processes.AimThe task of the project entitled Case-Based Assessment in Medicine and Teacher Education was develop new assessment methods in line with modern pedagogical principles. It involved collaboration between three universities in Europe and USA; the Teacher Education faculty in Umea University, Sweden, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden and Stanford University in USA. The project aimed address the following two questions:- Is it possible adapt Web-SP for examination purposes, including solving issues of security and integrity? - Is Web-SP flexible enough be used as an assessment tool in teacher education? The part of the project reported in this presentation was developed for the Counseling program in Teacher Education at Umea. The education (or training) of professional counselors currently involves both product and process-related assessment (Roos 2005; Uden 2006). However, there are a number of problems associated with the current assessment procedures. It is in this context that the it was decided design a new form of assessment which utilised Web-SP.Educational Challenge The starting point of the project therefore involved the creation of an assessment tool using Web-SP, a self-instructional program designed for students. The content of the program contained sections which examine the basic skills needed carry out guidance conversations; that is, to ask open questions, actively listen, correctly summarize and develop wider perspectives (Bujold,2004, Egan, 2002; Brown, 2002; Jacobs, Masson, Harwill, 1998; HaggK Cochran, 1997). During the first part of the program the student counselor, supported by the program, is expected collect information on his/her Later in the program, the student is required use the information gained earlier progress through the program and conclude by summarizing the main factors learned and emotions drawn on, from different e.g. the client and counselor.Method The evaluation of the program involved a mix of data-collection methods (Patton, 2002; Stake, 2006; Greene, 1994) aimed at strengthening the trustworthiness and the credibility of the information gathered.(Alvesson & Skoldberg, 1994). Anonymity and security for the program was also secured. The evaluation of the program had two phases. In the first, four teachers in the counseling program piloted and evaluated the Web-SP- program. In the second phase five students in the counseling-program piloted and evaluated the program. All participants were filmed during the process, interviewed afterwards and also asked record their experiences of the program.The four teachers were overwhelmingly positive regarding the focus and the potential of the program. They also thought that it provided a positive learning experience. All appeared understand and manage the program and on the whole, reported that the students had needed use different learning strategies and develop different skills in the program.The responses of the five students indicate a mixture of positive about the program but also having clear proposals for improvement. The students stated that the program is easy follow, e.g. I think that this seems really good, being a dyslexic, very positive for me see and hear the client. No negative statements were forthcoming. Proposals for improvement included It is clear that the program was much appreciated by the student group in question and that at this stage there seem few problems regarding program security and integrity.Alvesson, M. & Skoldberg, K.
