funzone : Using groupwork for teaching and learning

Abstract

This paper documents the development and use of groupwork as a strategy for inclusion and social skills training in the curriculum of a special school, which is also the site of a fieldwork practice teaching unit for social workers in training. The groupwork model was developed for work with 16-18 year old people with learning disabilities, as one day a week in their school curriculum. The article examines the groupwork model. The issues that arose are explored, as are the implications and applications of such collaborative ways of working. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
