Service Learning in an Undergraduate Social Work Research Course
Postlethwait, Ariana
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v32 n3 p243-256 2012
The current study examined student experiences (n = 111) in an undergraduate social work (BSW) research seminar in which a service learning (SL) project was the primary focus. Student groups of approximately six or seven worked with local agencies to develop a research plan for the agency. Students found the SL project to be a positive experience. The SL outcomes resulted in a greater appreciation of research, including a greater interest in and comfort with conducting research. Results also are compared to a similar SL project in which the entire class, rather than a small group, worked with one agency. The implications are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)
