“…Another question, in light of the relationship between dogmatism and conformity, is the worth and permanency of the counselor trainee's learnings obtained during counselor preparation. Sensitive to his own achievement needs, and the role "authority" (counselor educators) plays in realizing this, the dogmatic counselor trainee may well conform and give appropriate, acceptable answers during his preparation only to regress to his old "self" upon completion (Rochester, 1967).…”

This research investigates the relationship between dogmatism and teaching experience in counselor trainees. The Rokeach Dogmatism Scale was administered to 25 Ss with and 24 without teaching experience. Results indicate counselor trainees with teaching experience are significantly more dogmatic. Age and amount of teaching experience also seem to influence dogmatism. Questions and implications for the profession are discussed.

“…Students in the U.S. (depending on the individual program) are not necessarily required to have prior teaching experience. The number of years of teaching experience required, if any, is certainly not a resolved issue with counselor educators in the U.S. (Rochester & Cottingham 1966), nor has it been determined whether students with more or fewer years of teaching experience tend to change their attitudes more readily than those students with no prior teaching experience or training (Davisson & Rochester 1971;Hopke & Rochester 1969). However, students enrolled in counselor education programs in the United Kingdom are required to have a certain minimum number of years teaching experience.…”

The purpose of this study was to look at the attitudes of those students entering a new counselor education program in Wales to see if changes in counselor attitudes took place as a result of a year‐long program. Minimal change appeared to have taken place. The second portion of this investigation compared these students with a sample of United States students. There were significant differences between the two groups at both the beginning and the end of the programs.

“…Although the findings are not universal, there is the danger that some former teachers now counselors could be over-dependent upon advice-giving (Campbell, 1962); too probing, diagnostic, and interpretive (Lister and Northrup, 1970); authoritarian and manipulative (Rochester and Cottingham, 1966); or more diagnostic than desired (Witmer and Webster, 1969).…”

Does the counselor with teaching experience perform more satisfactorily than the counselor without such a background? To learn more about this issue, the authors conducted a study to determine whether principals rated counselors with and without the experience any differently. What they discovered is the subject of this article.Requiring teaching experience for school counselors has been debated for more than a decade. Proponents support their position with rational arguments, but they are based upon opinion rather than research. The substance of their argument is that counselors with teaching experience will both relate to teachers better and understand the school as an organizational structure.Those who argue against required teaching experience for school counselors have offered equally rational counter-arguments based upon their opinions. They argue that teaching experience is not the only way for counselors to learn about schools and that counselors can relate to teachers on grounds other than their previous teaching experience. Between the ExtremesIn the meantime, efforts have been undertaken to research the issue. Several investigations indicate that there are no significant differences between counselors with teaching experience and those without it. In these studies, subjects were rated by principals, supervising counselors, other pupil personnel workers, or by themselves, using such criteria as at Monash University on June 15, 2015 bul.sagepub.com Downloaded from
