PSYCHOLOGY PRACTITIONER-SCHOLARS
Resources
As stated in the introduction connecting scholarship and practice is critical for professionals in psychology. In one of the unit studies you examined both the scholar-practitioner model as presented in McClintock’s 2004 article and Capella’s learning model which is based on the ideas in that article. In Capella’s learning model the master’s level degree program is described as practitioner-scholar to distinguish it from the doctoral degree program which is described as scholar-practitioner.
This discussion will provide you with an opportunity to enhance and deepen your understanding of the scholar-practitioner model in general and the practitioner-scholar expectations at Capella in particular. At the same time it will enable you to get valuable feedback from your peers on your vision statement and action plan. Your thinking and exchanges in this discussion will support your success in the assignment that you will submit in the next unit.
