Beschreibung
This textbook is a teaching and learning guide for social work education.
Increasingly, instructors want to implement active learning strategies. With changes in our students — from the wired Gen Z to nontraditional students— instructors are hungry for ways to engage students in the content and the classroom. Furthermore, as new educational standards from our discipline's governing body are being implemented across social work programs, faculty may be seeking additional content or be looking to make changes to how they teach their courses. This textbook addresses this need.
Many PhD programs in social work do not include specific methods in their coursework; however, most graduates will go on to teach throughout their careers. New instructors, as well as those who have been teaching for a while, can use this book to help implement new activities and approaches that make learning fun and engaging.
The contents of this text comprise detailed descriptions of different creative teaching and learning activities. Both in-class activities and assignments are provided. The book's 100 chapters are organized under 20 themed sections: I) Photography; II) Art and Music; III) Mindfulness and Self-Care; IV) Reflective Reading and Writing; V) Podcasts; VI) Artificial Intelligence; VII) Fun and Games; VIII) Professional Development; IX) Anti-Racist Teaching and Design Justice; X) Addressing Stereotyping and Bias; XI) Human Behavior and the Social Environment; XII) Theory; XIII) Engagement, Assessment, and Clinical Practice; XIV) Mezzo and Macro Practice; XV) Research Methods; XVI) LGBTQ+ Affirmative Practice; XVII) Reproductive Justice and Sexual Health; XVIII) Environmental Justice; XIX) International Connections and Cultural Awareness; and XX) Evaluating Teaching and Learning.
Teaching Activities for Social Work: Creative Pedagogies to Engage Students can be used as a guidebook for current teachers and/or doctoral students. This text is intended to engage a diverse audience including those who teach as an adjunct, doctoral students in social work, or those who hold a PhD and want to make shifts in their teaching methods or who teach courses on pedagogy.
