Development, Validity and Testing of Child Counseling Creative Therapy Module Using Video

Abstract

This study aimed to develop, validate and test a creative therapy module of child counseling using video. Module has been developed based on cognitive theory by Piaget (1962). As a whole, the module contains seven components of creative therapy that will be presented using video to counselors. The seven components of creative therapy are play, coloring, storytelling, sand, clay, puppet and collage therapy. This study is divided into three phases; 1) Module development, 2) Testing the validity of module content, and 3) Testing module reliability. This study uses a descriptive approach as a study design involving expert evaluation. In addition, to collect research data, survey methods are also used. To examine the need for module development, a literature review was conducted. To assess the validity of the module content, a total of 13 study samples consisting of experts in counseling and psychology. The next sample is 27 counselors to evaluate the reliability of the module. The instrument used to evaluate the content validity of the module was a set of content validity questionnaires which was a modification from Russell (1974) that had been suggested by Jamaludin (2002). To test the reliability of the module, researchers have developed a set of questionnaires built on the objectives of each module activity (Sidek & Jamaludin, 2005). The values computed for the content validity were high (80.0%). For the results of the survey, it shows that this module achieves high reliability with an Cronbach's Alpha of 0.97. These findings indicate that the modules developed are appropriate and ready to be implemented.
