Exploring Latina Clinical Mental Health Counseling Students’ Perceptions of Teaching Practices

Abstract

Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with Latina clinical mental health counseling students to understand perceptions of their instructors’ teaching practices. Using an evidenced-based teaching model as a theoretical lens (Malott, Hall, Sheely-Moore, Krell, & Cardaciotto, 2014), researchers highlighted Latina students’ experiences, perceptions, and beliefs regarding teaching. Following a discussion, recommendations for researchers and counselor educators to improve teaching practices are provided.
