SOC WRK 4001 - Seminar in Social Work Practice

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course is the first semester of a two-semester integrative practice course for senior social work majors. Students use the seminar format to learn empowerment based social work practice skills and to apply the social work curricular areas of human behavior in the social environment, social welfare policy, and research. The rich liberal arts background acquired from the Core or General Education curriculum and the content of the professionally related courses are used to inform social work practice. An important focus of the senior seminar is the agency environment in which the students practice. The formal and informal systems in which students do their fieldwork comprise the foci of the senior seminar classes. The classroom instructor is the liaison for the students’ fieldwork agencies. This maximizes the opportunity to create an intense, supportive and integrative educational experience. Students stay in the same section and field agency throughout both fall and spring semesters. Previously acquired skills are enhanced while new skills are developed so that students acquire the competencies for beginning generalist social work practice at all levels with systems of all sizes.

Note: SOC WRK 3008 (Institutional Racism) is listed as a prerequisite and a co-requisite because it may be taken as either. It is recommended students take it before entering Senior Seminar but if this is not possible, it may be taken in the Fall semester of senior year.
