What did you learn about this week that grabbed your attention or caused you to think more deeply about it? As stated in this week’s introduction, connecting scholarship and practice is critical for professionals in psychology. In one of the studies, you examined both the scholar-practitioner model, as presented in the McClintock article, and Capella’s learning model, which is based on the ideas in the McClintock article. In Capella’s learning model, the master’s level degree program is described as practitioner-scholar, to distinguish it from the doctoral degree program, which is described as scholar-practitioner.
