November 11, 2018 at 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM

Location:Room #: Atlantic Hall-Monitor 18/First Level
Location: Dolphin, Walt Disney World Resort

Director of the SIM Social Work Research Lab Kenta Asakura, alongside Lea Tufford will be presenting a paper at the Council on Social Work Education’s Annual Program Meeting.

This paper examined the perceptions of pre-practicum BSW students (n=17) of learning interviewing skills via role-play and simulation methods. Results showed advantages to the role-play format due to the prior relationship with peer/client; however, participants describe simulation overall as a more authentic and realistic experience.
