De ontwikkeling en evaluatie van een zelfinstructieprogramma voor een training in basisgespreksvaardigheden

This dissertation deals with the construction and evaluation of a self-instruction programme for a basic training in professional counselling skills. For this training a new training mode was developed, in which students follow parts of the programme independently. This training mode was developed in a project at the Department of Psychology at the University of Groningen thanks to a grant of the national authorities aimed at enhancing the quality and flow of education. The learning effects of the self-instruction training were compared to those of a training that was carried out under supervision. In addition, the influences of personality and learning style on learning effectiveness of each of the training modes were investigated.
