Simulation should be a principal feature of a counselor education program. Simulation is a controlled representation of a real situation. In a systematic counseling training program, emphasis is placed on the establishment of instructional objectives and the use of simulation experiences to reach these goals. Instructional objectives are prepared following Mager (1962) which include conditions, terminal behavior, and criteria. The levels of simulation of reading and listening, modeling, practice experiences and role playing, and supervised experience are used to develop each of these counselor skills. The use of simulation in a systematic training program is carefully planned and presented to the trainee as an instructional package for the mastery of a specified counselor skill. (Author)

This is one of a series which focuses on innovations in the training and supervision of counselors. It discusses micro-counseling by providing: (1) a definition of the procedure; (2) a description of models of practice; (3) a discussion of the effects of using micro-counseling; (4) suggestions for possible applications of the procedure; and (5) steps to follow when designing micro-counseling experiences. A bibliography is included. (Author)

The paper presents short descriptions and an existing program example for 29 innovations in the personnel services. The topics chosen as innovations represent a wide range of concerns of counselors and other pupil personnel workers in various educational levels. (Author)

This annotated bibliography includes research and descriptions of innovative programs in working with the non-college bound student. Such a student enters the work force immediately after high school or seeks technical training. Intensive occupational guidance is needed to insure successful job entry and continued vocational development. Research findings about the current occupational choice patterns of these youth and suggestions for development of the guidance services needed by such students are included. (Author)

The Integrated Personnel Services Index (IPSI) is designed to provide information about knowledge resources currently available in all fields of student services. IPSI was developed by scanning four major types of informational resources to identify information relevant to the personnel services field. These resources first became available during July through December, 1968 and include: (1) Research in Education, (2) Dissertation Abstracts, (3) Journals, and (4) Books. IPSI is divided into three major sections: (1) Resume Section, (2) Subject Index, and (3) Author Index. Within the Subject Index resources are grouped according to seven Subject Groupings. Availability of all resources is given. (SK)

The Integrated Personnel Services Index (IPSI) is designed to provide information about knowledge resources currently available in all fields of student services. IPSI was developed by scanning four major types of informational resources to identify information relevant to the personnel services field. These resources first became available during January through June, 1968 and include: (1) Research in Education, (2) Dissertation Abstracts, (3) Journals, and (4) Books. IPSI is divided into three major sections: (1) Resume Section, (2) Subject Index, and (3) Author Index. Within the Subject Index resources are grouped according to seven Subject Groupings. Availability of all resources is given. (SK)

The rationale, planning and implementing of this research is discussed in terms of its three hypotheses: (1) that both self desensitization and in vivo desensitization would result in lower Fear Index and Anxiety Differential scores of counselor trainees just prior to communicating with a role playing client in a counseling room where they are observed by their supervisors; (2) that in vivo desensitization would be more effective than self desensitization for reducing anxiety in the situation described; and (3) that both treatment groups would have higher performance scores on certain performance evaluation criteria than the control group. None of these hypotheses were supported. Possible explanations and data on subject variables are discussed. (TL)

This publication is intended to alert the user to a body of research which examines the nature of emotional climates and environments, and the relationship of various environments to student achievements, attitudes, and behaviors. It provides information about the nature of school environments as they are affected by a variety of factors such as staff characteristics and behaviors, student peer-group characteristics and values, and norms of the community which support the school. This index is part of the Current Resources Series (CRS), developed by the Counseling and Personnel Services Information Center (CAPS), and planned to assist personnel workers in the identification and retrieval of information in areas where there is both expanding knowledge and personnel worker need for information. This index identifies research reports which have been recently reported either in the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system, the CAPS center collection, or in Dissertation Abstracts.

This article reviews a number of guidance evaluation materials and programs presently in use in terms of Stufflebeam's CIPP model. Some materials were simple evaluation instruments; others were as comprehensive as process guides for the planning, development, and application of a complete systems approach evaluation. (Author)

A bibliography is included. (Author)

The bulk of this anthology treats adults as different from adolescents, in learning and in other respects, and the resultant demands which these differences make upon flexible, conscientious teachers of adults. Three essays deal with an overall view of adult education, its challenges, problems, and rewards. Other essays are concerned with the position of the university in adult education, the pressures upon it from without and within, and the philosophy of education, (the nature of knowledge, the values of a liberal education, and an evaluation of both teaching and learning). Several articles discuss teachers of adults, the types of people they are, types of responsibilities they have, and the qualities that are appropriate to a good teacher. The nature of the adult, his roles, attitudes, learning abilities -- as well as general principles of good teaching of adults, including how adult teaching differs from other kinds of teaching and the limits of pedagogical authority -- are also considered.

The examination of a city in Texas provided data for the support of the thesis that an increase in vertical ties contributes to the development of a pluralistic power structure within a community; the traditional power relations and supporting normative patterns within the isolated minority community serve to inhibit competitive political activity.

Teachers respond favorably to the involvement of counselor educators in inservice training programs. This is a developmental'' approach rather than the crisis consultation'' approach that usually characterizes teachers' relationships with counseling specialists. The implication for counselor educators is that they need to become involved in undergraduate teacher education and inservice workshops for teachers. (Author)
