ABSTRACT

A capstone experience is a final opportunity for master’s of social work students to practice competencies they will apply in the field. To support the transition, we designed and evaluated a capstone course using ethically challenging cases in the Decision Case Method approach, as well as integrating active, embodied participation through Theatre of the Oppressed Forum Theatre. Feedback from students was mixed, with more positive feedback for the Decision Case Method classes. In this teaching note, we present how we researched and designed the course, feedback we received, reasons for the mixed feedback, and lessons learned that will likely be helpful to other social work programs designing capstone experiences.

摘要

顶峰体验是社会工作硕士学生练习他们将在该领域应用的能力的最后机会。为了支持过渡，我们设计和评估了一个顶点课程，使用决策案例方法中的道德挑战案例，并通过受压迫论坛剧院的剧院整合积极的、具体的参与。学生的反馈参差不齐，对决策案例方法课程的反馈更为积极。在本教学笔记中，我们介绍了我们如何研究和设计课程、我们收到的反馈、混合反馈的原因以及可能有助于其他社会工作计划设计顶点体验的经验教训。
