ABSTRACT The integration of evidence-informed practices in social work education can be difficult given the crowded curricula of most Master of Social Work programs, particularly for advanced standing MSW students who launch directly into advanced concentration year coursework after obtaining their Bachelor of Social Work (BSW). Several factors impact decisions about the integration of evidence-informed curricula, including the time, location, and order of infused material and choosing curriculum content that can be applied across a range of professional settings. Social workers frequently encounter clients who are reluctant to change or are mandated to receive social work services. Practitioners need the skills to engage and empower those clients toward change. This paper reports on the evaluation of a tripartite training module on Motivational Interviewing (MI) for advanced standing MSW students, which is centered around social simulation. Results of one-way repeated ANOVAs highlighted statistically significant increases in students’ knowledge about MI, as well as enhanced Counselor Self-Estimate Inventory scores from pre-simulation to post-simulation, lending promising substance to social simulation as an effective, useful method in the education of advanced standing MSW students.

弥合差距：使用模拟技术在高级社会工作专业学生中建立临床技能

摘要鉴于大多数社会工作硕士课程的课程拥挤，尤其是对于那些在获得社会工作学士（BSW）后直接进入高级集中制年课程的高级常设MSW学生而言，在社会工作教育中整合循证实践可能很困难。 ）。有几个因素会影响有关结合循证课程的决策，包括时间，位置和所注入材料的顺序以及选择可在一系列专业环境中应用的课程内容。社会工作者经常遇到不愿意改变或被要求接受社会工作服务的客户。从业人员需要技巧，以使这些客户参与并赋予他们改变的能力。本文报告了针对高级MSW学生的动机面试（MI）的三方培训模块的评估，该模块以社交模拟为中心。单向重复方差分析的结果突出表明，学生对MI的知识在统计学上显着增加，并且从模拟前到模拟后辅导员的自我估计量表得分都有所提高，为社会模拟提供了有希望的实质内容，是一种有效的，有用的方法。 MSW高级进修生的教育。
