A new technology for teaching/learning marital and family therapy.
A pilot test was conducted to determine the usefulness of a computer technology known as Group Support Systems (GSS) in teaching/learning marital and family therapy (MFT). The GSS technology was tested in a doctoral MFT course. GSS permitted subjects to combine face-to-face interaction with dialog...

The GSS technology was tested in a doctoral MFT course. GSS permitted subjects to combine face-to-face interaction with dialogue structured by GSS on personal computers. Each subject contributed to group discussions simultaneously and anonymously by means of linked computers. GSS were employed to consider a videotape, conduct two role plays, and write this article. It was found that GSS led to improved brainstorming, increased collaboration, reduced hierarchical status, increased self-reflection, the creation of an atmosphere of trust, and the prompting of group-supported active learning. Proposals for additional MFT teaching, research, and application of GSS are provided. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
