Abstract
We developed a practical and interactive learning and training program for psychology graduate students to use the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Students could practically learn to conduct and give feedback on test results before entering the psychological testing field. In Stage 1 of the study, we designed the training program and reviewed it by analyzing the participants’ responses to a questionnaire on the program. The results indicated (1) graduate students could practically learn to efficiently use the WISC-IV through the program’s innovations; (2) active learning increased the ease of concentration despite the long and complicated study period; (3) group activities created a relaxed environment that facilitated learning goal achievement; and (4) the program’s unique role-playing of the examination helped avoid damaging students' self-esteem and gave them opportunities to consider the test from the examinees’ perspective. We suggest devising methods of increasing understanding of WISC-IV’s theoretical framework, focusing on fatigue, providing clear and specific instructions, designing surveys to examine the program's goals of practicality and ease of collaborative learning, and developing efficacy studies to improve the program．
