Abstract

This study aims to develop a training package of coping self-talk for pre-service counselors that has high acceptability, i.e. meeting the criteria of appropriateness, usefulness, easiness, attractiveness and clarity. The study applied a research and development design and procedure adapted from Borg & Gall. The evaluation of the training package was carried out through expert judgement and field testing. Two experts in guidance and counseling and one expert in instructional media were asked to validate the training package. Next, a lecturer and ten undergraduate students majoring in guidance and counseling were involved in small group testing. After making the necessary revisions, a lecturer and 39 other students were involved in operational field testing. The series of examinations produced a training package of coping self-talk that meets the criteria of appropriateness, usefulness, easiness, attractiveness and clarity.
