Description
Summary:We developed multimodality pedagogy with online peer-facilitated experiential learning that meets the required competency of 2016 standards from the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. The multimodality attends to various representational and communicational modes to support students' use of multiple senses to connect cognitive processes in meaningmaking. To determine the effectiveness of multimodality, we examined the student counselors' self-rated group leadership skills competency before and after the group work training. Frequentist and Bayesian paired t-test results demonstrated significant increases with large effect sizes for general and technology-related group skill competency. This pedagogy provided students with an experiential opportunity and allowed for the modeling and observation of leadership skills.
