Counseling Self-Efficacy and its Relationship to Anxiety and Problem-Solving in United Arab Emirates

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among counseling self-efficacy, problem-solving, and state and trait anxiety. A total sample of one hundred thirteen males and females (females = 105; males = 8) enrolled in the psychology department at the UAE University voluntarily participated in this study.

Findings are discussed within the context of UAE culture and directions for future research are provided.

语文学科和语文教学的内部规律决定了语感能力的培养是语文教学的本质和核心。中学语文新课标以此作为一项重要的内容，意味着语文教学由作为物的工具转向作为人的学生，旨在使学生获得一种工具转而以语感为突破口，提高学生整个文化心理素质，从而直接面向学生的成长和发展。     

英语教学中语用能力的培养

语用能力的培养在英语教学中有着非常重要的作用。它关乎学生是否能成功的进行交流。但一些英语教师往往在教学中疏忽这一点。只有具备了一定的语用知识与能力,学生才能既准确又得体地使用语言,才能真正的学会一门语言。这就要求教师在教学过程中有意识地渗透语用意识及其基础知识,改变教学方法,通过积极的课前准备、课堂上听、说、读、写、译的教学与训练和课后总结,增强学生的语境把握能力,进而有效地提高学生实际理解和运用语言的能力。     

Models of Competence and Teacher Training

The use of competence as a basis for the education and training of teachers has become commonplace. Department for Education (DfE) circulars 9/92 (DfE, June 1992) and 14/93 (DfE, November 1993) have indicated the way forward for competence‐based teacher training. This paper suggests that it is possible to identify three models of competence which seem to dominate research. The first is broadly behaviourist in its approach and depends largely upon the inculcation of domain‐specific behaviours. The second can be termed a process model, which attempts to map out the process of competent action in terms of flexibility. The third may be described as a cognitive model, since it attributes such importance to knowledge and understanding in underpinning competent action. Each of these models is examined in relation to certain key variables: their interpretation of knowledge and understanding, methods of assessment, and forms of training. A final section draws attention to important factors which operate in competent performance and which must be realised in any competency approach to the training and education of teachers.

Selection and Training for Human Rights Counseling

Human rights counseling is needed today as much as or more than it was in the 1960s. Counselor educators can help meet societal needs for human rights counselors by selecting counselor trainees sensitive to human rights issues and by preparing them to work with problems resulting from oppression. This article examines the shortcomings of traditional selection and training procedures and presents suggestions for improving them vis-á-vis human rights counseling.     

The Role of Ethnic Identity,Gender Roles,and Multicultural Training in College Counselors' Multicultural Counseling Competence: A Mediation Model

Structural equation modeling with survey data from 313 college counselors revealed that multicultural training significantly mediated the impact of both ethnic identity and gender roles on multicultural counseling competence (MCC), explaining 24% of MCC variance. Results indicated that college counselors need to be aware of their own gender roles and ethnic identity to be culturally competent and highlighted the mediational role that training plays in achieving MCC.     

International Counseling Students in Turkey and Their Training Experiences

This study examines the perceptions and experiences of international counseling students (ICSs) in university training programs in Turkey. A majority of participants reported they had adjusted positively, but did experience problems related to language, food, and customs. Participants largely also thought that the training in Turkey met their expectations, although some stated they desired more counseling coursework and applied experiences. More than half of the ICSs surveyed thought that they would not return to their home countries because of job opportunity problems. The results are considered in relation to counselor training in Turkey and student adaptation in that context.
