Research Note - Interpersonal Classroom Model: Groupwork at Social Work Field Internships
Tee R. Tyler; Amanda N. Walker
Journal of Social Work Education, v60 n2 p266-273 2024
This research note explores Bachelor of Social Work students' perceptions about how well their group practice courses prepared them for group opportunities at field internships. We conducted a posttest-only design pilot study to compare field groupwork experiences of students who attended group practice courses taught with and without the interpersonal classroom model, a teaching approach designed for social work group practice courses. In this research note, we share study results, including data about the types and amount of groupwork experiences students received at their field internships and responses to questions regarding how well their group practice courses prepared them for field groupwork experiences. The research note concludes with a few limitations and future directions.
