The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs ([CACREP], 2016) and the American Counseling Association ([ACA], 2014, F.7.e) require educators to teach students about the counseling profession's ethical codes and standards of practice. In an effort to creatively foster knowledge and skills on ethical issues, the current study examined the use of role-plays (live vs. recorded) and its impact on the ethical self-efficacy of counselors-in-training (CITs). Results found no differences between ethical self-efficacy scores for students who completed experiential role-plays versus those who watched recorded role-plays centralized on ethical dilemmas. Implications for counselor educators are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
