ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 resulted in major disruption for social work education, as many teachers and programs shifted from on-campus classes to remote or blended teaching using digital technologies. Social work educators have an opportunity to apply the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic to meet the needs of students and communities in ways that are grounded in our professional values. Due to the pandemic, many students and faculty were learning and teaching via online education for the first time and managing personal and community trauma. The purpose of this article is to provide social work educators with a practical, theory-informed approach that supports an unexpected switch to crisis teaching in times of extended crisis, to maintain quality education, and move toward best practices gleaned from trauma-informed approaches. We describe theoretical frameworks that can inform educational practices and decision making in times of disruption. Then we offer trauma-informed teaching and learning principles and technology-mediated strategies for best practices in crisis course design and delivery. We share practical strategies for the delivery of social work education that are especially needed in times of disruption.

摘要

2020 年的 COVID-19 大流行对社会工作教育造成了重大破坏，因为许多教师和课程从校园课程转向使用数字技术的远程或混合教学。社会工作教育工作者有机会应用从 COVID-19 大流行中汲取的经验教训，以基于我们专业价值观的方式满足学生和社区的需求。由于大流行，许多学生和教职员工首次通过在线教育进行学习和教学，并管理个人和社区创伤。本文的目的是为社会工作教育工作者提供一种实用的、以理论为依据的方法，以支持在长期危机时期意外转向危机教学，以保持优质教育，并转向从创伤知情方法中收集的最佳实践。我们描述了可以在中断时期为教育实践和决策提供信息的理论框架。然后，我们为危机课程设计和交付的最佳实践提供创伤知情的教学原则和技术介导的策略。我们分享提供社会工作教育的实用策略，这些策略在中断时期尤其需要。
