Abstract

Using data to drive decision-making and evaluate program effectiveness is paramount to the school counseling profession. In this pilot study, researchers utilized a quasi-experimental design to examine the impact of training in action research on students’ data attitudes and self-efficacy. Participants in the experimental group saw greater increases in data self-efficacy, but not data attitudes, than control group members.
