My personal accounts of top-down (traditional) vs bottom-up (person-centred) learning outcomes and methods as experienced by students and teachers in a Belgian university setting in relation to issues of culture and context - in G. Proctor, J. Cornelius-White & E. Zech. How can we help counselling/psychotherapy students look at inequalities and cultural diversity within the student training group?
Key Points
Top-down and bottom-up learning methods influence student understanding of cultural diversity and inequalities.
Cultural context significantly shapes the training experiences of counselling and psychotherapy students.
Experiences differ greatly between traditional and person-centred approaches in educational settings.
Understanding these differences can lead to improved teaching strategies in counselling education.
