Homework: Scholar-Practitioner Model
Length: 3 to 4 pages.
1. Purpose: The purpose of your vision is to create an inspirational and realistic description for how you want to contribute to your specialized field of psychology based on your passions and interests.
2. Primary Audience: Because this is a personal vision statement for your future career, you are your primary audience. Envision yourself in a time where you are frustrated and want to throw in the towel. What would help you remember your purpose and inspire you to continue moving forward towards your vision?
3. Secondary Audience: Your vision should also be clear to other people (such as family, friends, and your instructor) so you can share it with them and receive support in achieving it.
4. References: Reference any supporting documents you used to create your vision.
Instructions
Complete the following in your homework template:
1. Role as a Practitioner-Scholar: Draw from your previous study of the practitioner-scholar model to answer the following:
a. In your own words, explain McClintock's scholar-practitioner model.
b. Reference Capella's Learning Model Quick Reference and Examples to compare the differences between the levels of practitioner-scholar and scholar-practitioner.
c. What will it mean to you to be a practitioner-scholar? Explain how the practitioner-scholar model can help guide you in developing the knowledge and skills that you will need to reach your professional vision and goals.
d. Be sure to cite your sources.
2. Vision: In response to feedback you have received and the evolution of your ideas since you began, and in light of what you have learned about the practitioner-scholar model, revise and refine the vision statement that you developed in the previous two units so it is as personally meaningful as possible. This statement should articulate how your passions and interests connect to a specialization in psychology. Note: It may be useful to update your Articulating Your Purpose activity to help support these revisions.
3. Goals: Review the long-term educational, career, and life goals that you identified as relevant to achieving your vision. In response to feedback you have received and the evolution of your ideas since your earlier drafts, revise, expand, refine, and consolidate your goals as needed.
a. Identify significant milestones for each goal. Be sure that your goals and milestones are:
o Specific.
o Measurable.
o Achievable.
o Relevant.
o Time-bound.
b. Discuss the reasons for each goal and milestone.
