Constructivist Assessment in Career Counseling
Brott, Pamelia E.
Journal of Career Development, v30 n3 p189-200 Mar 2004
A constructivist approach to assessment in career counseling presents an opportunity for counselors to gain insight into clients' stories, amplify clients' self-awareness, and develop with clients a future orientation through action steps. The author presents four strategies for constructivist assessment using "The Storied Approach" (Brott, 2001) as the framework for the counseling process. The four constructivist assessment strategies include the life line, card sorts, life roles circles, and the goal map.
