ABSTRACT

The recognition of social work as a writing-intensive profession is the first step needed to bridge the divide between academic and practice writing. The demonstration of persuasive writing skills rarely achieves a highly-ranked social work curriculum priority despite the recognition by faculty that these skills are essential for effective practice. This paper features curriculum examples that incorporate persuasive writing skills, the use of related rubrics, a proposed framework for bridging the gap between academic and practice writing, and a comprehensive illustration of persuasive writing in the form of a child welfare court report. It concludes with recommendations for enhancing student writing skills.

摘要

承认社会工作是一种写作密集型职业，这是弥合学术写作和实践写作之间鸿沟所需的第一步。尽管教职员工承认这些技能对于有效实践至关重要，但说服性写作技巧的展示很少能达到社会工作课程的高度优先级。本文以课程示例为特色，其中包括说服性写作技巧、相关量规的使用、弥合学术写作和实践写作之间差距的拟议框架，以及以儿童福利法庭报告的形式对说服性写作的综合说明。最后提出了提高学生写作技巧的建议。
