Abstract

The lack of counselor education standards set by professional organizations increases the necessity for accreditation studies. Therefore, this descriptive study aimed to investigate the opinions of counselor educators working in Turkish public and private universities’ counselor education programs on critical standards/criteria of the accreditation process. A total of 201 counselor educators aged between 24 to 88 years participated in the study. Data were collected through a demographic form as well as a survey that was developed by the researchers. Data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the study showed that the majority of the participants supported the idea of establishing an independent counseling-specific accreditation organization that accredits counseling programs in Turkey. Implications of the findings, as well as limitations and recommendations, are shared for future research in the study.

Özet

Psikolojik danışman eğitimine yönelik profesyonel organizasyonlar tarafından belirlenmiş standartlar olmaması akreditasyonla ilgili araştırmaların yapılması gerekliliğini arttırmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu betimsel çalışma, Türkiye’deki devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerin Psikolojik Danışmanlık ve Rehberlik (PDR) anabilim dallarında görev yapan psikolojik danışman eğitimcilerinin, psikolojik danışman eğitimi programlarının akreditasyonu sürecindeki kritik standartlar/ölçütler konularındaki görüşlerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında 24-88 yaş arası 201 katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri demografik formun yanısıra araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen bir anketle toplanmıştır. Çalışmadaki veriler nitel ve nicel olarak incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğunun sadece psikolojik danışmanlık ve rehberlik programlarını akredite eden bağımsız bir akreditasyon organizasyonun kurulması fikrini desteklediklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bulguların çıkarımlarıyla birlikte sınırlılıkları ve yeni araştırmalara öneriler araştırmada paylaşılmıştır.
