Critical Learning for Social Work Students
- Sue Jones - Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK
By using practical examples and interactive features Critical Learning for Social Work Students will help guide you through your degree and on to becoming a fully-developed and critical practitioner. It covers key areas of critical thinking such as developing a clear and logical argument as well as the application of self-evaluation and understanding the 'professional self'. For this edition there is a new chapter on developing emotional intelligence.
I do not teach social Work students in my role. I have not requested or received this text.
This is an excellent book for students at all levels. It takes students through the process of developing as critical learners in an engaging and practical way. It enables readers to really develop their skills as critical thinkers and is an essential handbook for all social work students who ultimately will be critical practitioners too.
Essential reading with maps on to the PCFs.
It's a very useful tool for social work students to begin their learning journey.
this book is a good guide on how to become a critical learner. it is accessible, easy to read and comprehensive.
In my view this is a thoroughly useful text to support students in their journey to becoming critical practitioners. Lots of practical examples are provided that enable students to explore and develop skills in critical, analytical and evaluative thinking. The chapters include guidance for applying these skills within the social work context and how to employ them when reading and writing. I believe this will be especially invaluable for students who are struggling to produce written assignments of degree standard.
I don't know why this got onto your list but I didn't request it
Good additional reading for students on the new step up to social work programme next January
This text is a really helpful addition to the toolkit that enables undergraduate students to develop analysis and critical thinking throughout their degree and on into practice. It has a readable style and has useful case examples.
A strutured approach to developing critical approaches to social work, writing and CPD.
