After a solution-focused brief counseling training program for high school teachers was designed, this study aimed to 1) investigate the learning process of the trainees, and 2) evaluate the effects of this program. Participants' responses were collected from participant observation of the whole training class, questionnaire, an in-depth interview of the leader, a focus group discussion of ten trainees, and the counseling verbatim transcripts of all trainees. The present study had three major findings: 1) The evaluation and effects of this program were significantly high. 2) Once trainees were allowed adequate time to practice, this program was relatively easy to learn and implement in high school settings. 3) Trainees' learning process, although there were individual differences, revealed stage-like improvements. Some suggestions for further program designs and future trainers were provided. |
