Abstract

In 2005, the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education announced its transition to an outcomes-based accreditation model for C/MFT training programs. This transition to outcomes-based C/MFT education was lauded for bringing newfound freedom to instructors in C/MFT graduate programs and for ushering a paradigm shift toward collaborative, student-responsive clinical pedagogy in C/MFT training. The current study utilized a systematic research synthesis approach to explore how trainees' experiences are being conceptualized in the empirical research on master's-level C/MFT following the field's transition to outcomes-based education. Results indicated that trainees' experiences within the training context are a prevalent element in recent training-focused research, with many studies presenting trainees' experiences as a relevant factor for understanding how a given training “input” influences a trainee's eventual development of training-related skill and competency outcomes. Recommendations for instructors, C/MFT faculty, and future research toward evidence-informed clinical pedagogy are provided.

新兴治疗师的结果：综合二十年C/MFT硕士项目以学员为中心的研究

2005年，婚姻和家庭治疗教育认证委员会宣布，对C/MFT培训项目实行以结果为基础的认证模式。这种向基于结果的C/MFT教育的转变受到称赞，因为它给C/MFT研究生课程的教师带来了新的自由，并在C/MFT培训中引领了一种向协作、学生响应的临床教学法的范式转变。本研究采用系统的研究综合方法，探讨硕士水平的C/MFT在向成果导向型教育转型后，如何在实证研究中概念化受训者的经验。结果表明，在最近以培训为重点的研究中，受训者在培训背景下的经历是一个普遍的因素，许多研究将受训者的经历作为理解特定培训“投入”如何影响受训者最终发展与培训相关的技能和能力结果的相关因素。对教师、C/MFT教师和循证临床教学法的未来研究提出了建议。
