Psychology Beyond the Classroom

Abstract

The practicum report to follow has been completed in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Education in Educational Psychology – Practicum Route 2 Counselling. This report reviews my background in the study of psychology, my preparation for a practicum, the setting of my practicum at Family Service Regina, and my practicum experience. Particular attention has been paid to a shift in perspective that I experienced during my undergraduate studies that led me to choose counselling psychology and the ways in which this new perspective matured during my practicum work. Additional attention is paid to the expectations and goals that I held prior to the commencement of this practicum and the learning and growth that was realized as the result of this experience.
