  • Weeks 4 and 8: NCFR Substance Areas Literature Review Project

    Below are the 10 “Substance Areas” of the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR), a professional organization whose mission it is to “To provide an educational forum for family researchers, educators, and practitioners to share in the development and dissemination of knowledge about families and family relationships, establish professional standards, and work to promote family well-being” (http://www.ncfr.org/). The numbered substance areas can be found here. (https://www.ncfr.org/sites/default/files/fle_content_areas_2014_0.pdf)

    During the 8 weeks of this senior seminar students will, with the guidance of their instructor, select and conduct a review of peer reviewed literature related to the 10 substance areas (Note: All articles must be retrieved from the APUS online library). The phrase “peer reviewed” means that a publication contains articles reviewed and deemed academically sound and scientifically rigorous by the author’s peers in the field.Students will select, from the larger body of child and family development literature, three peer reviewed journal articles per substance area and review, summarize and critique them in one paper per area (each article review should be between 1 and 1½ pages – double-spaced, equating to 3-4 ½ pages per substance area). The format for this assignment should be:

    1. Substance Area Name
      • Research article 1 (include the title of the article)
      • Research article 2 (include the title of the article)
      • Research article 3 (include the title of the article)

    Use this format for each of your Substance Areas.Substance Areas 1 – 5 reviews must be completed by the end of week 4. Substance Areas 6-10 will be added to 1 – 5 and will be completed by the end of week 8.Substance Areas 6 – 10 reviews must be compiled and combined with the previous five Substance Areas articles and submitted as one literature review with a description at the end of what was learned while conducting the course-long review.

As a class, we decide to take a ski vacation to Aspen, Colorado. The altitude in this area, between the Rocky Mountains’ Sawatch Range and Elk Mountains, is around 8000 ft. To put this into perspective, Atlanta is around 1000 ft. What causes your headache and difficulty breathing on the first day? What physiological changes occur that allow you to feel better a couple of days later? Make recommendations to your classmates to help prevent altitude sickness from happening again.

Assessment-from-a-Multicultural-and-Ethical-Perspective

/in /by

Counselors assess many areas of an individual, including behavior, cognition, personality, intelligence, and achievement. Within each of these areas are specific constructs. Constructs are underlying aspects or traits of an individual, such as anxiety, hostility, motivation, intelligence, self-esteem, creativity, and many more. Many assessment instruments examine these areas and their related constructs. As a future counselor, you must be familiar with both formal and informal assessment instruments, including how, when, and why they are used, as well as the range of possible outcomes of each (i.e., possible scores). You must also be aware of how ethical standards and multicultural guidelines influence which assessment instruments should be used. Your familiarity with assessment instruments allows you to create a personal toolbox of instruments to use in your future counseling practice.

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the client and counseling issue he or she might present. Then, identify a formal or informal assessment instrument that you might use to assess this individual. Finally, explain why the instrument you selected is appropriate from a multicultural and ethical perspective.
