ABSTRACT

Social work content podcasting has increased exponentially in recent years, playing a new role in the emerging social work education debate surrounding online and remote delivery of social work content. Although podcasting itself is not now a new digital innovation, how and why social work educators and academics would embrace the use of podcasting is still debated and is often positioned as inferior to face-to-face classroom teaching. In the Australian context this is particularly important when non-Aboriginal students are engaging with Aboriginal understandings of place and ways of relating to Country, a challenging reflexive exercise without the added complexity that remote educational delivery can provide. The brief history of podcasting and its relationship to social work education provides a context for re-imagining the pedagogy of critical thinking, with a case example provided of a remote field placement with The Social Work Stories Podcast during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

摘要

近年来，社会工作内容播客呈指数增长，在围绕社会工作内容的在线和远程交付的新兴社会工作教育辩论中发挥了新的作用。尽管播客本身现在并不是一项新的数字创新，但社会工作教育工作者和学者如何以及为何会接受播客的使用仍在争论中，并且通常被定位为不如面对面的课堂教学。在澳大利亚的背景下，当非土著学生参与土著对地方的理解以及与国家相关的方式时，这一点尤为重要，这是一种具有挑战性的反思性练习，没有远程教育提供的额外复杂性。
