This pilot study has two areas of focus. It examines how the knowledge and competences of twelve Master’s-level systemic counselling trainees are connected, and how well their own assessment of their competence corresponds to external assessment. Methodologically, three instruments were used: first, an instrument to measure their explicit knowledge; second, videos of consultations with simulated clients to measure their competence in practice; third, a self-assessment measure to explore how externally assessed competence corresponds to self-assessment. The results show no indication that knowledge is related to externally assessed competence. Furthermore, their self-assessment did not show any systematic connection to the external assessment. The study concludes that the development of systemic counselling skills is a long-term process of theory acquisition, practise, and reflection. Important reflection processes can be stimulated by self-assessment. However, such assessments are not sufficient to capture the quality and scope of competence.

这项试点研究有两个重点领域。它考察了 12 名硕士级系统辅导学员的知识和能力之间的联系，以及他们对自己能力的评估与外部评估的对应程度。在方法论上，使用了三种工具：第一，测量他们外显知识的工具；第二，模拟客户的咨询视频，以衡量他们在实践中的能力；第三，一种自我评估措施，以探索外部评估的能力如何与自我评估相对应。结果表明，没有迹象表明知识与外部评估的能力有关。此外，他们的自我评估未显示与外部评估有任何系统联系。该研究得出的结论是，系统咨询技能的发展是一个理论获取、实践和反思的长期过程。自我评估可以激发重要的反思过程。然而，此类评估不足以捕捉能力的质量和范围。
