| Summary: | The study explores the anxiety of a group of practicum
counselors in order to help them to cope with difficulties and
challenges during counseling practicum. The experiences were
shared using creative art activity (drawing) during their weekly
supervision. Koltz and Odegard (2012), mentioned that using
creativity in supervision enables the supervisor to model the
counseling concept and gives opportunity for the supervisee or
practicum counselor learn during the practicum or internship. The
study involved forty practicum counselors who were enrolled in
Bachelor of Education Guidance and Counseling program. They
were undergoing a 7-week counseling practicum in various areas in
Klang Valley. The data revealed that the practicum counselors were
facing with various kinds of challenges such as relationship with
community, and inability to apply theories into practice.For these
challenges, They adopted various kinds of coping strategies to deal
with their personal and professional issues. Communicating with
friends and university supervisor seems to be an important coping
mechanism for them. The study manages to capture various feeling
related to their experiences at different phases of the practicum
journey (pre, during and post practicum). Through the drawings,
they were able to feel more at ease and be more objective in sharing
their experiences. The study also confirms the need for continuous
support from supervisor and a platform to share their experiences
during supervision |
