Testing, Measurement & Assessment
Prerequisites: Completion of a minimum of 24 credit hours, including Models of Pastoral Counseling (517), Psychopathology (509), and Human Development (555). The course is required for licensure but is not a prerequisite for other courses.
This course will provide an understanding of the role of individual and group approaches to assessment and evaluation and its role in diagnosis, clinical intervention, and treatment planning. It will cover assessment of the various attributes of a person though standardized tests, and also include an overview of statistical procedures relevant to test standardization and interpretation. Students will gain first-hand exposure to specific tests and learn to read and evaluate such instruments.
Outcomes: This course is being added to the MA PC curriculum in response to a new requirement in state licensure for master level counselors.
