Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development

Aims & Scope

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development is an official journal of the Association of Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC), a member association and division of the American Counseling Association.

Articles range in appeal from those that deal with theoretical and other problems of the measurement specialist to those directed to the administrator, the counselor, or the personnel worker--in schools and colleges, public and private agencies, business, industry, and government.

All articles clearly describe implications for the counseling field and for practitioners, educators, administrators, researchers, or students in assessment, measurement, and evaluation.
