Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Counselor Education.
Attention to instruction training methods are essential for counselor educators, however, more research is needed in this area (Marlott, Hill, Sheeley-Moore, Krell & Cardaciotto, 2014). Creative teaching strategies have been discussed in conceptual articles (Hayes, 2008; Henderson & Malone, 2012) however, creative teaching it is not currently acknowledged as a formal teaching framework in counselor education, even though a comprehensive definition for creative pedagogy (Lin, 2011) exists. Additionally, limited empirical research is available exploring the creative abilities of instructors, which is a central aspect of creative pedagogy (Lin, 2011). To address this gap in the literature, the researcher conducted a qualitative phenomenological study investigating counselor educator’s perceptions of creative teaching, and how they are creative as instructors. The researcher recruited seven counselor educators from CACREP masters and/or doctoral counseling programs, who were familiar with creative teaching methods, and who subscribe to a creative teaching approach. She conducted in-depth interviews that were rooted in phenomenological inquiry, and applied Moustakas’ (1994) adapted version of the transcendental data analysis method. The research question that guided the study was: what are counselor educators’ self-reported experiences of creative teaching in the classroom?
