ABSTRACT

Although pedagogical fundamentals of teaching with technology appear in the literature, the use of podcasting in the classroom is primarily documented outside of social work education. This study explored outcomes of an assignment in which students create podcasts meant for consumption by people besides the instructor. The authors theorized that this would allow social work students to build skills with engagement, self-awareness and communication while also developing skills with technology. Results suggest that podcasting as an assignment is replicable across levels and types of social work courses, and is potentially a good way to introduce students to the new technologies.

摘要

尽管文献中出现了使用技术进行教学的教学法基础，但课堂上播客的使用主要是在社会工作教育之外进行的。这项研究探讨了一项作业的结果，在该作业中，学生创建供教师以外的其他人消费的播客。作者认为，这将使社会工作专业的学生能够通过参与，自我意识和沟通来培养技能，同时还能利用技术来发展技能。结果表明，播客作为一项任务可以在社会工作课程的各个级别和类型之间复制，并且可能是向学生介绍新技术的好方法。
