A/601/7635 Research Methodologies in counselling 1. Understand the purposes of research in counselling 2.1 Explain the importance of research for the counsellor. I believe that the main importance of research for the counsellor is that it makes a massive contribution to the quality of service that a counsellor can offer their clients. By continually staying up date on new research that is available a counsellor is able to gain new knowledge and expertise that can improve and enhance their practise. Counselling is seen as a fairly isolated profession, this highlights the need to share research and to create an open book attitude for the practise of counselling.
Instead of having a clear “leader” for the group, we all put forward suggestions and worked towards our common goal. Our group didn’t have a problem with “information chaos” (Kear 2010), but at one point our presentation was disorganized. One group member kept everyone focused, always prompting others via the Wiki and emails. For me, participation in the group assessment has been an enjoyable experience all round. 2.
She plans to purchase some this weekend to assist her with more accurate graphs. She really hates that she had to leave class early, she wanted to see everyone’s presentation. La Quandria enjoys her teammates as group member. She believes the team need to get our momentum back up. She believes everyone probably needs a break in between classes because there is no time to regroup in between class.
I have found that visual communication can be very effective by way of hand gestures and body language. We also have an in house hearing clinic which is free of charge and our members use this regularly to enhance their experience within the centre, by having regular checks carried out on their hearing aids, but also any repairs which may be required or battery changes. One member has recently began using a talking mat as her speech is very limited which has proved very effective. We have reading glasses available for our members who have forgotten their glasses, which would hinder their experience whilst here. 2.3 - Following a recent experience with a staff member whom is subject to Investigatory meetings, I have found that verbal communication with staff can be misinterpreted, misunderstood or easily forgotten about.
My first thought was that these two women must be attending their first meetings. I later learned that my suspicions were correct. Neither of the women stood alone very long as other members, who I could only assumes were veterans to these meetings, promptly introduced themselves with big smiles and comforting remarks. As the mingling whined down, one of the employees (whom I could only distinguish because he was the gentleman I first contacted about the group) stood at the front of the class and spoke for about 10 minutes. He spoke of his tribulations to get to the point in his life where he is now comfortable with himself.
You can use constructive feed back to build on use it as a tool not a negative. Work as part of a team; keep calm listen and respect, the people you are working with. Your past experiences can also help, and using your own initiative being positive. Appraisals are good way to receive constructive feedback, this will show your strengths and weakness, you might need more training on your moving and handling as you are not using the equipment properly. I receive positive feedback from my manager, she had over heard me talking to a service user who was being challenging with me, she explained she was very happy with the way I dealt with the situation calmed things down before they became worst.
The nineties gave way to a different perception and that people believed it was ok and the norm of the day to be single to have close friends. The latest era has opened our mind to the new possibilities, you can tweet your inner most thoughts and feelings, post your wants and desires and tell everyone on your friend list how your daily life is going. All of the networking sites have made it easier to tells everyone how you are feeling. They have also allowed us to keep in touch or reconnect with long distance family and friends. Rarely does someone pick up the phone and call their friend to vent about a bad day.
He offered a lot of help and was willing to make notes on my paper to attempt at helping me make my paper the best it could possibly be. I really appreciate his time and effort and definitely took in to account some of the great and helpful feedback he gave me. Another person I would also like to shortly thank is Professor Miller. She took the time out of her busy schedule to sit down and have a conference with me and go over any questions. It made it easier to figure out exactly what she was looking for in my paper.
Positive feedback provides this information. For example, ‘The last report to the client on their advertising yield was excellent, you presented the data well and they’ve told us that it was easy to read and very thorough! Well done.’ Constructive feedback This type of feedback methodically builds on experience that the employee has obtained through their work practices. This is done by providing concrete steps for future improvement that relate to behaviours or skills they have demonstrated up to that point. It is not always positive, but positive feedback may
The introductory gives a little background on how the TYC came about. The location and make-up of the Giddings State School. The format of this book made it an easy read. The transition from one chapter to the next never made you want to eagerly want to read it non-stop, but it didn’t have an abrupt end between the chapters either. I find that a fine quality in a book.
