ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a two-and-half hour constructivist-oriented training session upon the spirituality and religious competency of 15 master’s level counseling students. The results revealed that the master’s-lever counselors in training demonstrated a significant overall increase in spiritual and religious competency. Although the intervention resulted in a significant increase in the spiritual and religious competency scores, the participants’ scores at posttest remained below the minimum cutoff score, echoing a consistent finding in the literature that counselor preparation programs are not adequately training students to incorporate spirituality and religion in their work. Students who scored higher on a Personal Spiritual and Religious Practices scale demonstrated greater increases in their spiritual competency.

摘要

本研究的目的是调查两个半小时的建构主义培训课程对 15 名硕士水平辅导学生的灵性和宗教能力的影响。结果表明，接受培训的硕士杠杆辅导员在精神和宗教能力方面总体上显着提高。尽管干预导致精神和宗教能力得分显着提高，但参与者在后测中的得分仍低于最低分界线，这与文献中一致的发现相呼应，即辅导员准备计划没有充分训练学生将精神和宗教结合起来在他们的工作中。
