An Examination of Master's Level Practicum and Internship Evaluation Forms

ABSTRACT To explore the areas of evaluation and their overlap across the programs, a content analysis with both qualitative and quantitative strategies was performed with practicum and internship evaluation forms collected from 20 CACREP-accredited master's programs. Six evaluation areas emerged (e.g., ethical and professional behaviors, supervision behaviors), varying across different levels of evaluation (i.e., practicum, internship, practicum/internship). The counseling and process skills in the practicum and the assessment and case conceptualization skills in the internship forms had significantly more items when compared to other areas. Despite some representation, multicultural skills and self-awareness categories were absent from a number of forms.
