ABSTRACT

The Standards of Care for Assessment in Group Work represent a collaborative effort between the Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC) and the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW). The purpose of these standards is to address the distinctive aspects of group work assessment that group workers often overlook and may lead to ineffective or invalid assessment. Examples of these considerations include the overuse of one method of data collection (self-report) in group work assessment, the importance of using appropriate and culturally relevant assessments in groups with diverse members, and intentionally identifying the difference between assessing group process versus group outcomes. The committee’s goal was to develop standards that highlight the importance of preferred practices in group work assessment and for counselors to use them in conjunction with other standards related to measurement and assessment in counseling.

摘要

小组工作评估注意标准代表了咨询评估和研究协会 (AARC) 和小组工作专家协会 (ASGW) 之间的合作努力。这些标准的目的是解决团体工作人员经常忽视并可能导致评估无效或无效的团体工作评估的独特方面。这些考虑的例子包括在小组工作评估中过度使用一种数据收集方法（自我报告），在具有不同成员的小组中使用适当且与文化相关的评估的重要性，以及有意确定评估小组过程与小组结果之间的差异.
