MAXIMIZING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING ABOUT RESEARCH-BASED SOCIAL WORK DURING PLACEMENT THROUGH AGENCY-UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS

Shardlow, Steven M.

Abstract

This paper provides an exploration of the ways in which partnerships between universities and social work agencies can deliver a research-based approach for students during their placement. The placement/practicum/field education has been recognized as the “signature” pedagogy of social work. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has forced practitioners and educators to explore different and creative ways of delivering learning outcomes during placements. This paper provides illustrative ways in which the research elements of placements can be enhanced.
