  2. Working Group Members • James Werth • Jennifer Wilson • Randolph Pipes • Sue Whiston • Paul Gore • Jessica Omorie • Georgios Lampropoulous • Jennifer Taylor • Greg Neimeyer, chair

  3. Major Issues Discussed • What exactly do we mean by “science” and “practice” and “scholarship” and “socialjustice” and “evidence” and “competencies” (in practicum and research) and “integration”? • In what ways does the science-practice model enable, and disable, us, locally or internationally, in relation to pursuing what we view to be our central pursuits? • How can we make research more meaningful to practice? • How can we make practice more relevant to research? • How can we best implement the science part of the model? • Is the scientist-practitioner model really serving the needs of students (and their evolving workplace needs)? • How best do we evaluate its effectiveness? Keep in mind… • Who is the audience? (public, psych. board, training programs, students)

  4. Goals/Outcomes for Future What exactly do we mean by “science” and “practice”? • Scientist-professional model (more inclusive than “practitioner”) • Science: a process that includes production, and perhaps consumption and application (integration) and dissemination, critical thinking

  5. Goals/Outcomes for Future What is “scholarship”, “social justice”, and “practice”? • Scholarship: broader term that encompasses science but also includes readings, literature reviews, etc. (consumption and application may be included here) • Social justice and advocacy: can be through practicum sites, community/public outreach (free clinics, etc.) • Practice: may be defined differently in different programs • The categorical model of science vs. practice may be more effective if seen on a more dimensional/proportional plane (more sophisticated)

  6. Next Steps & Opportunities for Involvement How best do we evaluate the training model’s effectiveness? • New skill sets How central are certain topics in various training programs? What can we learn from effective programs? • NEXT STEP: web-accessible database: how central are certain topics, what’s working well/what needs improvement in certain programs/what’s effective for competency assessments • Gathered from CCPTP • Distributed through Psi Chi/research offices (Office of Undergraduate Advisors)/APPIC • “I want to steal your ideas” • Division 17 disenfranchised • Online CE programs where membership is required (opportunity to bridge science and practice together)
