Sue Peterson publishes article in Journal of Social Work Education
Sue Peterson, Social Work, has had an article accepted for publication in the Journal of Social Work Education. It’s titled “Teaching Evidence-Based Practice at the BSW Level: An Effective Capstone Project.” Co-authors are Sue Peterson Amy Phillips, Shannon Bacon, (a former social work graduate of our program), and Zachary Machunda.
The article describes an undergraduate senior capstone project that, in partnership with internship activities, developed students’ familiarity with evidence-based practices concepts and improved their abilities to search for and use interventions from the professional literature. Findings from a survey study of the project indicated that students felt better prepared to use “best practices” and that the project enhanced their overall sense of competence as social work practitioners.
