“…Social work educators are increasingly required to identify and develop innovative ways of preparing students for the complexities of contemporary practice environments (Watkins et al, 2018). However, there is often a presumption that social work students, and students in general, will struggle with new or innovative models of teaching or instruction (Jones, Sage & Hitchcock, 2019). The findings presented here show that this is not the case in relation to TBL, with students being shown to be highly adaptable.…”

Team-based learning (TBL) as a model of teaching boasts a robust and growing evidence base, showing that it is both preferred by students and leads to better educational outcomes. Despite this evidence base, there is limited research into the use of TBL in social work education, and no research into the use of TBL in social work law. This article presents the results of a practitioner enquiry undertaken into the use of TBL with a first-year Master's cohort of students undertaking a social work law module. Results are based on anonymous questionnaires, student evaluations of teaching, and the observations and reflections of the researcher. Student responses are shown to be overwhelmingly positive, recognising TBL to be a more effective model of teaching content, as well as enhancing team working skills, student confidence and promoting friendships. Students also raised some concerns related to group tensions and dynamics. These findings have implications for teaching the practical application of social work law, an area where social workers and social work students have been shown to struggle, as well as having implications for social work education more broadly.

“…Bicen & Beheshti (2017) dan Chicca & Chunta (2020) misalnya menyebutkan bahwa penggunaan metode pembelajaran yg memanfaatkan infografis ini menurut mereka cukup memakan waktu (time consuming), serta berpotensi memakan biaya tambahan untuk pembuatan/produksinya seperti misalnya untuk pembelian software (Chicca & Chunta, 2020). Infographics juga tidak mudah di index oleh mesin pencari sehingga tidak ramah terhadap mensin pencari (Lynch, 2021;Stinehour, 2014) Dewasa ini membuat Infografis bisa jadi menjadi sebuah kegiatan pembelajaran yang menarik (Özdal & Ozdamli, 2017), serta menjadi salah satu tugas pembelajaran yang melatih ketrampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi (Jones et al, 2019). Menarik karena melibatkan komunikasi visual yang melibatkan element-element berupa gambar, warna, ruang dan cerita.…”

Innovation: An infographic assignment was developed and integrated into an advanced self-care therapeutics elective course in a School of Pharmacy to facilitate practical communication of dynamic and innovative approaches to patient care while supporting diversity in assessment. Description: The ‘Spotlight on Self-Care’ assignment required pharmacy students to develop three infographic deliverables detailing comprehensive care for one minor ailment. The three deliverables were: 1) a magazine insert for healthcare professionals, 2) a patient-friendly handout, and 3) a pharmacists’ companion practice tool. All deliverables were assessed by rubrics using consistent criteria, including: clinical content, logical presentation, research quality, visual elements and formatting. The five highest-scoring magazine inserts were offered publication in the Pharmacy Practice and Business Magazine after peer review. Critical Appraisal: The submitted infographics put clinical content from the course into action by leveraging recent trends in effective communication. As an assessment, the infographic assignment recognized a unique profile of skills in the students that was statistically different from the profile of skills that was evaluated by the multiple-choice examinations. The key issues to address include reducing grading time requirements and developing strategies to detect copyrighted materials. Future investigations into the nature of the skills gained by the students through the exercise, as well as their perceptions regarding the professional value of the exercise, are important for refining the administration of this assignment.
