Introduction
From Hbse I
Lesson learning objectives
By the end of this week you should be able to do the following. You may not do it perfectly, but you should be on the path, as they say.
- Articulate the relationship between social work approaches, frameworks, theories and knowledge and values and ethics, and their importance in assessing clients and communicating about clients with other professionals.
- Differentiate the frameworks from personal opinion, common knowledge, bias.
- Discuss the centrality of values and ethics to all social work activities, including the acquisition and application of social work knowledge (fit with number 6)
- Discuss the importance of, and difficulty in, adopting new schema of clients, our selves, and society and others – if we are to become effective social workers who can really make a difference in our client’s lives.
- Explain where HBSE fits in terms of the PIP (as if telling your mother – assuming she is not a social worker.)
- Perform rudimentary assessment of a client using a case study.
- Identify, differentiate and discuss in general terms the ecosystems, strength-based and social constructionist approaches to clients.
- Discuss the courses’ learning objectives, assignments, and evaluations, and the relationship between those three.
Schemas – life long learning, changing all the time
Notes on the text - chapter one
| Page | Line or para | text | comment |
| 1 | 1 | Complexity of human systems | Complex systems (link to the section) is a big topic, try to get a taste if it from that link |
| 1 | rest of the paragraph | list of "several major issues" | Part of the challenge in social work is dealing with all these issues (or at least becoming aware of them all.) We will address the micro issues in HBSE I this Fall, and the macro issues in HBSE II in the Spring. |
| 2-3 | the para that ends with "Knowledge, theories, and Social work: | the second sentece sums is up | One defining characteristic of social work is the Person in Environment perspective. You will be seeing this again and again, throughout your career as a social worker. Often abbreviated PIE it means that you can't just look at the individual - you have to look at them in the envrionemtn ((link to space person exploding???) |
| 4 | First full para | the whole paragraph | This is a great example of the complexity if social work, and why we need to learn so much about so much. The really tough part is figuring out how to put it all together, and that is where I hope MAPS will help. |
