Participants were 809 counselor trainees. Data were collected by using Microcounseling Skill Discrimination Scale and Demographic Information Form.

There was a significant difference in reflection of content skill between students who had taken a pre-practicum course and those who had not this course. There was a significant difference in reflection skills between students who had taken a practicum and supervision courses and those who had not these courses. However, competence in discriminating effective and ineffective reflection of feeling skill did not differ significantly whether or not counselor trainees had taken a pre-practicum course. The results were discussed in the light of counseling skills training literature and some suggestions were proposed regarding future studies.
