Since 2003, I have been teaching as a professor in the social group work course for the department of social work in the University. I have been considering a suitable way to teach the students in this class. I have been wondering which component is more important: the theories? the ability to lead a group? or permitting the students to participate in design and the evaluation through an appropriate association or group? After ten years, I’ve tried to clarify how to put all of them into practice. ‘Social group work’ is one of the three important major social work methods; in class, all of the students are required to participate. With the theory of learning by doing from Dewey, and ten years of teaching experiences, the specialty of our department, as emphasized in this class, has become more clarified. This study aims to understand the social work course design through the learning experience on the part of the students. To review whether the course design and learning interest are related to the students’ ability improvement, I analyzed the syllabus and documents, and interviewed the students who were taking or had taken this course. From the interview, we see that it is possible to combine the theories and practical experiences within the complex program design, team teaching and experience of seniors, group experience, establishing the task groups, massive amounts of homework, and evaluation |
