Abstract

This study contributes to an emerging area of research on online learning within marriage and family therapy training programs while responding to the need for research on the effectiveness of multicultural training marriage and family therapists receive. Using 32 students in a marriage and family therapy program and a pretest–posttest design, this study focused on student outcomes across a classroom-based multicultural training course and an online section of the same course. Support was found for the effectiveness of each instructional modality in delivering multicultural training. Findings also indicated that student gains did not significantly differ across students in the two course sections. This is the first study to provide evidence that online learning does not compromise the effectiveness of multicultural training for marriage and family therapists and adds evidence to the claim that the multicultural training marriage and family therapists receive is effective in achieving its aims.

婚姻家庭治疗培训项目中课堂教学与在线多元文化培训课程的比较

这项研究为婚姻和家庭治疗培训项目中在线学习的新兴研究领域做出了贡献，同时也回应了对婚姻和家庭治疗师接受的多元文化培训有效性的研究需求。本研究以32名参加婚姻和家庭治疗项目的学生为研究对象，采用前测后测设计，重点关注学生在课堂多元文化培训课程和同一课程在线部分的学习效果。在提供多元文化培训方面，每种教学方式的有效性都得到了支持。研究结果还表明，学生在这两门课程中的成绩并没有显著差异。这是第一个提供证据的研究，证明在线学习不会损害婚姻和家庭治疗师的多元文化培训的有效性，并为婚姻和家庭治疗师接受的多元文化培训在实现其目标方面是有效的说法提供了证据。
