Model
60 pts. (CO: 2)
Many counselors are fearful of research. This may be because of fear of math, statistics,
analysis, or many other factors. This assignment is an opportunity to explore and
articulate your perceptions of research so that you can move past any that are hindering
you and move forward to gain the most from this course.
Directions:
In a 3-5 page paper explore the following questions and articulate your perceptions.
What is your perception of what research is? What is program evaluation? What is the
scientist-practitioner model? Define it and describe it as you perceive it including
strengths, weaknesses, and your fears.
How have you been involved with research in the past? It can be helpful to note that
most people are more involved with research than they originally imagine. For example,
you likely do research online or by asking friends and family before buying any
significant item (i.e. a car, home, degree, etc.). You may have also participated in
surveys with your church or community and if you hold any of the discount cards like
CVS or PetsMart, you are participating in market research.
Compare and contrast the difference between a regular consumer’s research and
“formal†research completed by a “researcher†.
Curiosity is a benefit for researchers, what areas or topics are you curious about and
wish to explore deeper?
What would you hope to discover about that topic of interest?
