A Model for Social Work Field Practicums in African American Churches

Abstract

In this paper the authors will give an overview of the history of the African American church, discuss the reciprocal benefits of social work educational practicums in this institution for both students and the church, and give a model for practicum learning that can be met through this arrangement.     

Exploring Baccalaureate Social Work Students' Self-Efficacy: Did it Change over Time?

This study explored baccalaureate social work students' self-efficacy at a rural southern university. Bandura's concept of self-efficacy is used as a theoretical base for the study. Students (N = 43) in introductory social work courses and in the field practicum course completed the Foundation Practice Self Efficacy Scale. Following The Council on Social Work Educations 2008 Council on Social Work Education. (2008). Educational policy and accreditation standards handbook. http//www.cswe.org/Accreditation/Handbook/Ovierview14745.aspx#chaper14753 (http://http//www.cswe.org/Accreditation/Handbook/Ovierview14745.aspx#chaper14753)  [Google Scholar] Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards, which recognizes field education as the signature pedagogy of social work education, field students were hypothesized to have higher levels of self-reported self-efficacy than entry-level students. Results suggest that senior level students were more confident in their abilities to practice social work than those students enrolled in an introductory social work course. Implications of this research for social work education are discussed, including the value of using self-efficacy scales in evaluating social work educational program outcomes.     

Technology Acceptance in Social Work Education: Implications for the Field Practicum

The exponential growth and sophistication of new information and computer technology (ICT) have greatly influenced human interactions and provided new metaphors for understanding the world. The acceptance and integration of ICT into social work field education are examined here using the technological acceptance model. This article also explores potential challenges regarding the adoption of ICT into social work field practica. The article concludes with implications for adopting and integrating ICTs in social work field education.

"场"视域下大学生体育生活化研究

体育生活化是体育行为融入人的生活世界而形成体育生活习惯及其过程,是全民健身和终生体育的必由之路和必然选择。从"场"理论视角,借助对"大学生体育生活化场"的关系性解构,分析"场"中影响大学生体育生活化的排斥力与吸引力。提出加快体育教育观念的转变,使高校体育回归学生生活世界;树立"场"思维意识,从关系角度统筹大学生体育生活化各因子协同发展;纠正高校体育实践过程中存在的偏差,增强体育生活化吸引力;实事求是,突出大学生体育生活化的校本特色。     

语义场理论在大学英语词汇教学中的运用

语义学理论在英语教学中的作用举足轻重,尤其是语义场理论对词汇教学意义重大。众所周知,英语词汇在整个大学英语教学和四、六级考试中占据着基础位置。而笔者发现在传统的大学英语词汇教学中,教师是按照词汇在文章中的出现顺序即词汇表的顺序按部就班地进行音、形、义的讲解;学生则是索然无味地死记硬背式地博闻强识,如此这般,成效甚微。本文提出在上述传统教学模式的基础上运用语义场理论来丰富词汇教学。     

数据挖掘技术在医学领域中的应用

数据挖掘是当今科研领域中最活跃的研究分支之一,迄今为止在各行各业已经有了非常广泛的应用.本文结合医学数据的特点,初步探讨了医学数据挖掘的基本过程,并介绍了医学数据挖掘的常用算法及其在医学领域中的应用.     

“人本”视域下的赛场观众管理

2008年北京奥运会虽已经圆满结束,但有关赛场观众的“人本”管理却是近期研究的热点。时类型复杂多变的观众进行“人本化”管理既是构建和谐社会的需要,也是我国体育事业健康发展的必然要求。对此,研究认为可通过以下几方面进行努力：加强相关知识的宣传,提高群众的认识和学习水平;建立健全法律机制,加强执法力度用以维护“以人为本”理念的落实;对管理者进行业务培训,真正做到人民利益至上;对赛场观众的管理要区别对待,因人而异;满足观众的舍理需求,促进观众的全面发展。     

体育领域反文化问题研究

从文化哲学的视角切入,通过对体育领域现实存在的＂非法链接＂、＂文化忘本＂等反文化现象的剖析,揭示反文化现象发生的内在与外在机制,指出在内在机制方面,体育文化既连续又间断的特性为反文化提供内在生长点,而体育领域的反文化产生是其本体原因;外在机制方面,体育制度有限性,现有社会整合机制缺失是其产生的原因。在分析体育领域反文化现象正、负价值的基础上,提出体育界面对反文化现象的可能路径选择为：1.树立正确的反文化观;2.把握体育文化创新的质量和速度;3.健全体育领域反文化的预警机制;4.加强、完善体育制度建设;5.确立社会本位的价值取向。     

普通高校体育课程田径内容“边缘化”成因与对策研究

运用文献资料法、问卷调查法、专家访谈法、数理统计法、逻辑分析法等,以天津市18所普通高校45名体育专家和800名大学生为研究对象,对体育课程田径内容“边缘化”现象进行研究。研究结果表明,天津市只有一所院校开设田径内容,其他17所高校开设田径课程在4年以上,田径教师资源及场地器材资源存在浪费现象。天津市普通高校体育课程田径内容“边缘化”的表层原因是学生不喜欢田径内容,深层原因是普通高校选课制度和传统的田径教学环节出现了问题,因而提出在天津市普通高校体育课程教学中推行“3＋1”的选课制度,按照“选学＋必学”相结合的选课方式进行选课的对策。
