Course Domain and Boundaries

The course is a continuation of four-course sequence. It builds upon the knowledge, skills and values learned in prior courses within this sequence. Utilization of systems and problem-solving approaches to plan for and apply appropriate social work intervention with emphasis on the utility of groups in practice at all systems levels, e.g. macro

A major focus of SW4010 is on the development and utilization of communication, relationships and group membership skills. Students will become familiar with planning group, clarifying a group purpose, and assessing process and outcome. This course emphasizes a laboratory approach which will provide the student an opportunity to develop skills in facilitating groups in micro and macro practice necessary for generalist social work practice.

The concepts, theories principles, methods and skills relevant to group work with diverse populations will be explored in this course. The application of group work methods with populations-at-risk will also be examined in this course.

This course incorporates content on types of groups, group development, problem-solving and decision making in groups. It also explores the interaction between groups and systems with their external environment

B. Student Achievement of Learning Outcomes

Student outcomes are assessed by a midterm and final exam, Blackboard discussion participation, weekly one page reflection papers, and a written assessment of the group process and the various types of groups you will encounter as a professional social worker.

C. Course Policies

Assignment Policy: 

1. Late papers (those not turned in on assigned day), will be downgraded by one grade, i.e. if the paper is deemed to be an A paper, it will be given a B due to lateness. Each rewrite of a paper will be downgraded by five points. A zero will be factored in for missing work.

2. Students are expected to complete all readings, participate in class and perform satisfactorily on assignments and examinations. The instructor shall be notified of unavoidable issues in advance which may (will) prevent compliance with assignment due date. Unless there are serious extenuating circumstances, a student will not be able to earn an A for the course with more than two sessions of non-participation a B with more than four sessions of non-participation, or a C with more than five sessions of non-participation. No incomplete will be given in this class.

3. PLAGIARISM/ACADEMIC HONESTY:

“Plagiarism is using another person’s words or ideas without giving credit to the other person. When you use someone else’s words, you must put quotation marks around them and give the writer or speaker credit by revealing the source in a citation. Even if you revise or paraphrase the words of someone else or just use their ideas, you still must give the author credit in a note.” .

(William Harris, “Anti-Plagiarism Strategies for Research Papers,” , March 7, 2002) 

2. You must cite sources from the Internet or any other form of electronic media used in your work. Any paper suspected of plagiarism will be reviewed at to verify that it is your work and properly cited.

3. Any paper that is plagiarized will result in an “F” for the class and a referral to the University for further Disciplinary Action.

4. APA FORMAT

All papers written in the School of Social Work require APA format. You may purchase the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition), or you may visit the website listed below



5. WIKIPEDIA WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS A RELIABLE SOURCE

What is Wikipedia?

“Wikipedia is a free-content encyclopedia, written collaboratively by people from all around the world. The site is a wiki, which means that anyone can edit entries simply by clicking on the edit this page link.”

“Because Wikipedia is an ongoing work to which anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in some important ways. In particular, mature articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while other (often fledgling) articles may still contain significant misinformation, un-encyclopedic content or vandalism. Users need to be aware of this in order to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation which has been recently added and not yet removed.”

D. Class Participation/Attendance: 

1. Student participation is important to the success of any class. For this online class, your participation is based on you regular (at least once a week) interaction with activities on Blackboard. Your participation will be monitored and if you do not participate for two or more weeks, I will ask you to drop the class. The format for participation will be described at least one week in advance of the due date and will include blogs, discussion boards, and/or Wimba sessions. Responses are evaluated based on content quality. They should reflect familiarity with lecture material and/or the readings and be approximately 200 words. Use citations and references from the readings, in APA format.

2. Note: Class participation includes raising questions from the readings, making relevant comments drawn from personal experience, reacting to opinions expressed by the instructor and students, asking for clarification, being actively engaged in class exercises, or bringing up issues of general interest to the class.

TYPICAL ASSIGNMENTS:

The assignments presented in this course are reflective of the group process. They include a means by which students can apply both the knowledge and skill objectives of the course.

Mid-Term (20 points)

A mid-term exam will be given during the semester covering main points in the assigned reading. The mid-term will consist of multiple choices, true /false and or matching questions

Final Exam (20 points)

A final exam will be given during the semester covering main points in the assigned reading. The mid-term will consist of multiple choices, true /false and or matching questions

Process Recordings (2) each process recording has a point value of 10 totaling 20 points.

The first Process Recording due session: 10/10

The second Process Recording due session: 11/14

For the assignment use the process recording form provided. You may type in columns or paragraph form. If you use paragraph form include the headings from the process Recording Outline.

The Process recording assignments are to record what you observed in the structured role plays carried out in class or in your field placement. Process Recording I will focus on the planning and beginning group sessions. Process Recording II will focus on the middle and ending phases of the structured role plays carried out in class or in your field placement.

Include the information below:

Attach a diagram of group

Use circles for women and brackets for men. Put first names in the circles and brackets.

Illustrate the positions of group members, for example in pairs, circles or rows

• Content

A brief summary of the highlights of activities, discussions observed in the session

• Process

Patterns of interaction observed in the group

Communication, verbal and nonverbal, etc. indicate in diagram

Social Workers behaviors and members roles in the approach-avoidance phase of group development

Evidence of diversity (please explain)

Group Process Analysis

(Paper 1 Planning and beginnings phase, Due Week: 10/24 point value 25

(Paper 2 Middle and Ending phases, Due Week: 12/5 point value 30

The focus in Paper I is the analysis of the groups’ development and the members behavior in the early states. Consider the planning for the group, the first session and sessions two or three. You may write about the structured role play group (s) in class (choose one), or a group from your field placement.

The objective of the group process analysis is to help the student develop the ability to remember what s/he observes, separate out her/his thoughts and feelings from the observed behavior and begin to relate theory to observations. Utilize readings, class handouts and lectures regarding small group experiences built into the class.

The following outline should be used as a guide. The group process analysis paper will be approximately five pages in length and typewritten. Student should incorporate theories/concepts from the reading assignments in the analysis using APA citation style.

• Assessment

What is the significance of this session to the group’s development as a whole and to the members? How did the group change as a result of this group session? Was the change a positive one in terms of the group’s development?

WIMBA Sessions: Structured Role Play (In-classroom Laboratory).

These sessions are mandatory and designed to allow you to practice your group work skills. Attendance will be taken at these sessions.

There will be 5 sessions throughout the semester

1. Each class member will be assigned randomly to a (role play simulation), group, e.g., by number and will remain in that group for the semester.

2. The groups will continue throughout the semester simulating each phase of group-work

3. Each group will have 2 co-leaders and 6 members (depending on size of class).

4. The various roles of the participants should last no longer than 15 minutes each.

5. Roles will rotate so that every class member will experience being a client, social worker, etc.

6. The purpose of the group(s) will be selected by the class members - e.g. treatment for substance abuse, community planning, parent education.

7. Member roles will be alternately - participating voluntarily, involuntarily - for example court ordered.

8. Each group will meet concurrently

Reflections:

|Overview: |

|The concept of reflection is fundamental to experiential learning. The past experience is replayed or re-evaluated in terms of new |

|information. This analytic exercise enables you to formulate new knowledge, perspectives, mental models, and ultimately, changes in behavior|

|or action. |

|Objectives |

|Review and reflect on what you have learned |

|Focus on how you learned |

|Instructions: |

|1. Reflect on the following: |

|What did you think about, feel, and visualize while participating in this session? |

|What attitudes, skills and concepts have you gained from participating in this session? |

|What did you know before; What did you want to know, and what did you learn this session |

|What did you learn in this session that you won’t forget tomorrow? |

|What was the most significant factor in how you learned? |
