7.01 Design of Education and Training Programs

Psychologists responsible for education and training programs take reasonable steps to ensure that the

programs are designed to provide the appropriate knowledge and proper experiences, and to meet the

requirements for licensure, certification, or other goals for which claims are made by the program. (See

also Standard 5.03, Descriptions of Workshops and Non-Degree-Granting Educational Programs.)

Psychologists responsible for education and training programs have an obligation

to establish relationships of loyalty and trust with their institutions, students,

and members of society who rely on academic institutions to provide the knowledge,

skills, and career opportunities claimed by the specific degree program

(Principle B: Fidelity and Responsibility). Psychologists responsible for administering

academic programs must ensure that course requirements meet recognized

standards in the relevant field.

􀀵 Department chairs and other faculty responsible for undergraduate curricula development

need to ensure that course requirements expose undergraduate psychology

majors, minors, and individuals taking survey courses to the knowledge and skills

considered fundamental to the discipline.

􀀵 Chairs or directors of doctoral programs claiming to produce graduates competent to

conduct psychological research need to ensure that students receive education and

training in research ethics and the theoretical, methodological, and statistical skills

required to competently conduct psychological science in the specific fields emphasized

by the program (Fisher, Fried, & Feldman, 2009).

Need to Know:

Online Distance Education

Discussion of teaching ethics for online psychology curricula and distance learning programs

has not kept pace with the rapid evolution and availability of online education.

Distance learning using information technology raises complex questions regarding the

adequacy of psychology programs to meet education and training requirements for a

diverse student body from different countries and states across the United States.

Psychologists administering online distance education might consider the following questions

(Anderson & Simpson, 2007; Brey, 2006):

Can the use of information technology ensure that the appropriate knowledge can

be transmitted to students and that student acquisition of such knowledge can be

appropriately evaluated?

To what extent does the program meet accreditation, certification, licensure, or

other requirements across different localities? Is the program description clear

regarding the states or countries in which it meets such requirements (see also

Standard 7.02, Descriptions of Education and Training Programs)?

Does the use of web-based or Internet-mediated technology in higher education

foster or undermine student diversity?

Are the program admissions criteria and educational materials appropriate for the

diversity of students who will apply for and be admitted into the program?

Can experiential requirements be adequately provided, supervised, monitored, and

evaluated at a distance through informational technology?

Can the ethical values of the discipline be successfully transmitted and student

ethical behavior adequately monitored through electronic media?

Are faculty adequately trained in the use of online distance learning?

The term reasonable steps reflects recognition that despite a program administrator’s

best efforts, there may be periods during which curriculum adjustments

must be made in reaction to changes in faculty composition, departmental reorganizations,

institutional demands, modifications in accreditation or licensure regulations,

or evolving disciplinary standards.

􀀵 Psychologists responsible for professional degree programs need to ensure that

course requirements and field experiences meet those required by potential

employers, relevant state or professional organizations for program accreditation,

internship placements where relevant, and applicable individual licensure and

credentialing bodies.

􀀵 Psychologists administering internship programs must ensure that supervisory and

training experiences meet the standards of the specific areas of psychological practice

claimed, appropriate state and professional accreditation criteria, and state licensing

board requirements.

7.02 Descriptions of Education

and Training Programs

Psychologists responsible for education and training programs take reasonable steps to ensure

that there is a current and accurate description of the program content (including participation in

required course- or program-related counseling, psychotherapy, experiential groups, consulting

projects, or community service), training goals and objectives, stipends and benefits, and requirements

that must be met for satisfactory completion of the program. This information must be

made readily available to all interested parties.

Department and program chairs and psychologists responsible for internship

training programs must also ensure that prospective and current students have an

accurate description of the nature of the academic and training programs to which

they may apply or have been admitted. This standard of the APA Ethics Code (APA,

2002b) requires psychologists responsible for these programs to keep program

descriptions up-to-date regarding (a) the required coursework and field experiences,

(b) the educational and career objectives supported by the program, (c) the

current faculty or supervisory staff, (d) the currently offered courses, and (e) the

dollar amount of available student stipends and benefits, the process of applying for

these, and the obligations incurred by students, interns, or postdoctoral fellows

who receive stipends or benefits.

Standard 7.02 specifically obligates teaching psychologists to ensure that prospective

and current students, externs, or interns are aware of program requirements

to participate in personal psychotherapy or counseling, experiential

groups, or any other courses or activities that require them to reveal personal

thoughts or feelings. Many program descriptions now appear on university or

institutional websites. Psychologists need to ensure to the extent possible that

these websites are appropriately updated. The term reasonable steps recognizes

that efforts to ensure up-to-date information may be constrained by publication

schedules for course catalogues, webmasters not directly under the auspices of

the department or program, and other institutional functions over which psychologists

may have limited control.
