Paper Abstract:
|
Graduate training in helping professions, such as psychology, requires knowledge, skills, and competency in discipline
specific knowledge, as well as interpersonal skills. School psychologists are unique professionals trained to work with
children, families, and school staff in public schools. The profession requires critical communication competencies across
all domains of practice, yet training programs remain stagnant in ways to teach, measure, and evaluate these competencies
in innovative ways. Interdisciplinary collaboration between computer science and school psychology holds great promise
in remediating these concerns and advancing training using technology. Specifically, mixed reality and artificial
intelligence tools, such as an autonomous training agent (ATA), where students can practice verbal and non-verbal
communication strategies during clinical situations has the ability to provide deliberate practice for students in the
classroom setting prior to working with real clients. |
