My Perceptions of Research and the Scientist-Practitioner Model

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?
