Assessment in counseling : practice and applications Pdf Book Description:

Pupils often experience assessment classes, and then the books used for the program, as a statistics-heavy course accompanied by an encyclopedia of a number of assessments. Assessment in Counseling alternatively highlights the skills utilized in evaluation, thereby allowing pupils to apply these skills across a wide assortment of evaluation instruments and instruments. Assessment, such as most core regions of counselling, has a theoretical foundation and a pertinent, practical part. But this practical element frequently gets lost from the use of the skills and usage of instruments which greatly rely on psychometric properties.

Written in an accessible, conversational tone, this text concentrates on the use of their theoretical and measurement theories of evaluation in counselling and introduces three case studies which are followed through the text. In addition, rather than introducing readers to a myriad of tools, the writers select seminal steps that pupils will probably approach and use from the profession. Through using the text and class material, an individual will get the abilities to search, choose, and manage the kind of appraisal instruments he deems helpful for their practice as a professional adviser, irrespective of specialization.
