Karena itu seorang calon psikolog perlu untuk melihat pengalamannya melakukan kerja praktik dan menemukan sendiri area pengembangan untuk menjadi psikolog yang kompeten. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat refleksi calon psikolog yang telah menyelesaikan praktik kerja profesi untuk menemukan kejadian-kejadian penting dan pembelajaran yang mereka dapatkan selama praktik kerja profesi menggunakan teknik insidenkritis yang biasa digunakan untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan praktis atau pembelajaran bagi seseorang. Wawancara kelompok terfokus secara mendalam terhadap 12 mahasiswa menunjukkan bahwa praktik kerja profesi merupakan proses intensif yang menuntut mahasiswa bertemu berbagai pihak (klien, orangtua, pihak sekolah, pembimbing, dan penguji) memberi umpan balik secara nyata mengenai area pengembangan profesional yang masih harus dilakukan oleh para calon psikolog.
