“…These were presented to simulate clinical interactions through role-playing with the supervisors. The supervisors discussed and modelled multidimensional professional skills and the interns were able to observe and apply them through role-play (Molina et al 2018 ). This could be expanded to involve several interns in a more dynamic family, group or team meeting role-playing experience.…”

“…Field placements that utilize a virtual approach might consider implementing an evaluative process to ensure that the program meets the educational objectives and is a satisfying and enriching experience for the interns. Evaluative methods for the interns might include non-graded assignments, such as process recordings, journal writing and/or reflection papers, midterm and final evaluations, feedback from supervisors and other interns from the cohort (Molina et al 2018 ). Feedback on training content and the experience with field instructors and supervisors may be gathered from the interns through individual supervision, group supervision, and meetings with the educational coordinator.…”

COVID-19 and Beyond: A Prototype for Remote/Virtual Social Work Field Placement

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an abrupt conclusion of field placement for social work interns at a comprehensive cancer center. In response to social distancing requirements, social workers, but not interns, were granted access to work remotely. Virtual programming became necessary to meet the interns' remaining educational requirements and provided an opportunity for proper termination from the program. This article will delineate the program redesign for oncology social work interns using remote/virtual modalities. This melded approach involved creating simulated clinical interactions, based on selected points along the illness trajectory targeting specific clinical competencies, which were presented to interns by phone and/or videoconference. Examples will be provided related to developing clinical skills and critical thinking and preparing for professional responsibilities within a broad range of healthcare settings. Guidelines for working with individuals, couples/families, and groups will be included. Issues of individual and group supervision will be explored, with sensitivity to the parallel experience of existential uncertainty and mortality awareness among the interns in the context of the pandemic. Although in-person training is preferable, there are advantages to virtual learning for both supervisors and interns. This creative adaptation of field education provides an innovative programming model that can be used to enhance the experience for social work interns moving forward in various healthcare settings during ordinary or extraordinary circumstances.

“…The teaching methods and tools selected for application in this research are experiential learning and challenge-based learning. The main reason behind the selection of these two techniques resides in offering industrial engineering students a field experimentation based on learning practices and experiences [16]. This study is also about creating a contribution in terms of the challenges faced by educators in the lean manufacturing discipline to offer appropriate experiences in which students develop competencies and collaborate to design, build and deploy real systems to solve problems based on engineering solutions [1], carry out research, and intervene in real situations and challenges.…”

This research paper presents a proposal for a learning model that extends the availability of resources for training and development of professional skills in the field of Lean Manufacturing. This research arises due to the lack and current limitations of effective teaching models for the development of professional competencies. The importance of this educational innovation proposal lies in being a unique reference frame of its type. This offers cutting-edge methods for optimization and process improvement tools, while developing general and disciplinary competencies in the area of industrial engineering. The notion of learning is presented in a context of real-world experiences to develop relevant competencies in real businesses settings for manufacturing and services. This work presents a literature review on competency-based education, experiential learning and challenge-based learning. Therefore, a background explanation of the proposed learning model and a learning space called Lean-Thinking-Learning Space are elaborated. Additionally, an experiment carried out to measure the development of competencies is showed in terms of comparing the teaching results of a course in two different learning spaces; namely, a traditional classroom and the proposed experiential learning space. The results of this investigation reflect an increase of 29% in the level of attainment of competencies observed in the experiential learning space proposed in this research work.
