ABSTRACT

This article presents an exercise aimed at stimulating the students’ critical reflective thinking and reflexivity in a seminar course from a Social Work undergraduate program. The exercise, deployed through collaborative methods and focus groups, sought to foster the students’ inter-subjective recollection and sharing of their first contacts with professional practice. The integration in the institutional setting, the contact with newly-met routines of practice and the experiencing of complex situations and critical incidents were key dimensions subject of attention. The exercise was focused on three interrelated key dimensions: how students experienced the process of integration in the organization; how students conceptualized intervention problem(s); how students represented the (dis)continuities between academic knowledge and practice-based learnings. The exercise resulted in perceiving the most important challenges students faced in their internship conveyed on their own terms. It also allowed access to the students’ accounts of their first contacts with practice.

摘要

本文介绍了一项练习，旨在激发学生在社会工作本科课程的研讨会课程中的批判性反思思维和反身性。该练习通过协作方法和焦点小组展开，旨在培养学生的主体间回忆和分享他们与专业实践的第一次接触。机构环境中的整合、与新遇到的实践惯例的接触以及复杂情况和关键事件的体验是关注的关键维度。该练习侧重于三个相互关联的关键方面：学生如何体验组织中的整合过程；学生如何将干预问题概念化；学生如何表现学术知识和基于实践的学习之间的（不）连续性。该练习让学生认识到他们在实习中面临的最重要的挑战，这些挑战是按照他们自己的方式传达的。它还允许访问学生第一次接触实践的帐户。
