ABSTRACT

Social work programs need to prepare students for practice in assessing mental health, addictions, and suicide risk assessment. In response to a call for increased training, we partnered with community social workers and re-designed a course on social work practice in mental health using a flipped classroom approach. We conducted a qualitative study using focus groups and individual interviews with MSW students (N = 15) to explore student perspectives on re-designed teaching approaches. Participants identified three teaching methods that increased knowledge, skills, and self-awareness: online educational modules, simulation, and integrated teaching with scaffolded learning. We discuss implications for social work education and practice.

摘要

社会工作计划需要让学生为评估心理健康，成瘾和自杀风险评估的实践做好准备。为响应增加培训的呼吁，我们与社区社会工作者合作，并采用翻转课堂方法重新设计了心理健康方面的社会工作实践课程。我们使用焦点小组和对MSW学生（N = 15）的个人访谈进行了定性研究，以探讨学生对重新设计的教学方法的看法。参与者确定了三种可增加知识，技能和自我意识的教学方法：在线教育模块，模拟和具有支架式学习的集成式教学。我们讨论了对社会工作教育和实践的意义。
