The Perceptions of Beginning Counselor Education Candidates' Multicultural Knowledge and Awareness When Comparing Candidates Who Have Successfully Completed Instruction in Multicultural Counseling with Candidates Who Have Not Completed Instruction in Multicultural Counseling

Within this study, the investigator attempts to determine the perceived effectiveness of counselor trainees using multicultural counseling competencies. The investigator measured the perceived degree of multicultural counseling knowledge and awareness among beginning master's level counseling students in a graduate counselor education program located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The primary research question was: Do counselor education candidates who have successfully completed a 3 credit graduate level course in multicultural counseling perceive themselves to be more knowledgeable and aware in cross-cultural counseling settings than trainees who have not completed the course? A 32-item inventory, the Multicultural Counseling Knowledge and Awareness Scale (MCKAS, Ponterotto et al., 1997) was used as a post treatment measure of participant's multicultural counseling knowledge and awareness.
