has important implications for education researchers. According to the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Code of Ethics, education researchers must demonstrate the highest level of professional competence in the tasks they undertake (AERA, 2011). This essentially means that the work they produce must be credible and accurate. As education researchers rely on the work of others, they must obtain information from reliable (peer-reviewed) sources, not secular sources such as newspaper articles.

Autonomy refers to the empowerment of the client: protecting the client’s rights to self-determination. Yet counselors may inevitably encounter dilemmas related to the client’s right to self-determination. A client who is a minor, for example, has fewer rights than an adult client. An adult client, on the other hand, may also experience lapses in judgment that would require the counselor to make informed decisions affecting treatment options.
Many of the situations counselors face in their work can be resolved… Continue Reading...
