Social Work Assessment Report 2005

Submitted Fall, 2005

The Social Work Program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney is accredited at the baccalaureate level by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), which mandates assessment of all program objectives and utilizing assessment outcomes for program renewal.  Therefore, this report is modeled after the program’s assessment report provided to CSWE in the 2004 Accreditation Self-Study (Volume I).  The UNK Social Work program engages in ongoing assessment for evaluating the outcome of each program objectives.  Assessment measures used by the program include Faculty evaluations of students, Student evaluation of faculty, Volunteer Experience Evaluation, Field Seminar student’s evaluation of the program, Field placement assessments, and Baccalaureate Education Assessment Project (BEAP).  BEAP instruments track students from entrance point into the Program until two years after graduation.  The BEAP Entrance survey and the Social Work Values Inventory at Entrance are administered each semester in the Human Services Ethics and Experience class (SOWK 172); BEAP Exit Survey and the Social Work Values Inventory at Exit is administered every semester to students completing their field placement and enrolled in the Field Seminar class (SOWK 482); and the BEAP Alumni Survey and BEAP Employer Survey are mailed out to every alumni of the program two years from the date of their graduation. 

The outcome of the above listed evaluations is analyzed by the Program Director, discussed with the faculty and shared with the Advisory Board and various program committees, especially Curriculum Committee.  The feedback gathered through this dissemination process is considered carefully and becomes the basis for initiating a plan of action.  The main committee examining curriculum issues is the Curriculum Committee which chaired by the Program Director and maintains membership of student representative, social work practitioners from the community, and all the program’s faculty. This committee considers the assessment outcomes and any recommendations made by various constituents.  Once the committee approves curriculum changes, the Program Director prepares all necessary paper work and initiates its passage through institutional channels for approval.  Changes made can improve existing curriculum, expand curriculum coverage, assess teaching methodology, and effectively address curriculum concerns that may impact the program’s ability to achieve its goals and objectives.  Like all program committees, the Curriculum Committee is active and meets once every semester or more if needed. Ultimately, the program is driven by the need to better understand and meet the personal, academic, and professional needs of students, as well as responsiveness to emerging practices and trends in the profession and community. 

The assessment table below lists the different program objectives, assessment tools utilized, and assessment outcome using mean scores.

Program Objective Assessment Measure Outcome Analysis & Recommendation
Apply critical thinking skills to generalist social work practice.

  2. Field Placement Evaluation of Students for academic year 2004-2005 in practical skills, also involving critical thinking.
  3. BEAP Exit Survey Cumulative mean for 2000-2005 (longitudinal) & mean for 2004-2005 academic year.
  4. BEAP Alumni Survey Cumulative longitudinal mean for 2000-2005 & mean for 2004-2005 academic year.
  5. BEAP Employer Survey Cumulative & longitudinal mean for 2002-2005& 2004-2005 mean.
 
  1. Combined average score in the practice sequence, F2004-S2005 show 81% of students in A range, 16% in the B range, and 1.85% in C range.
  2. Combined averages of students' scores in practical skills were 4.6 or above average on a 5-point scale.
  3. Cumulative BEAP Exit survey yields a longitudinal mean rating of 7.9 & a 7.5 mean for 2005-2005. Both fall in the upper range of good for generalist interventions that would require students to engage in critical thinking.
  4. Alumni report a longitudinal mean rating of 7.19 & a mean of 6.58 for 2004-2005, both in the range of good, related to their ability to implement generalist interventions requiring critical thinking.

The overall average to above average scores produced in assessing this objective indicate the program's efficacy in assisting students to apply critical thinking to generalist practice. The program will maintain its current focus on helping students utilize critical thinking in their preparation for generalist practice.
Professional standards, values, and ethics.
  1. SOWK 172 grade and volunteer evaluation for 2004-2005 academic year.
  2. Field Placement Eval. of Students for fall & spring of academic year 2004-2005.
  3. BEAP SWVI entrance and Exit Surveys for 2000-2005 & 2004-2005 academic year.
  4. BEAP Social Work Survey cumulative for 2000-2005, and 2004-2005 evaluation of ethics gained in BSW program.
  5. BEAP Employer Survey Cumulative for 2002-2005, & 2004-2005 academic year.
 
  1. All admitted SOWK students earned a satisfactory volunteer experience evaluation in SOWK 172.
  2. Students scored an average of 4.50 in Confidentiality, 4.55 in non-judgmentalism, 4.65 in adherence to value & ethics, and an overall rating of 4.55 in the professional performance category, all these ratings are above average on a 5-point scale.
  3. Students improve in their understanding of professional values & ethics from entrance to exit. SWVI at Exit for 2004-2005 shows mean scores of 70.14 for client confidentiality, 62.82 for client self-determination, 80.8 for social justice. The scores show that UNK students fall within and above the national average in the areas noted.
  4. Exit survey shows the following mean scores, longitudinal and 2004-2004 respective: 9.0 and 8.9 for client respect, 9.4 & 9.4 confidentiality, 9.2 & 9.15 for self-determination, 9.05 & 8.8for nonjudgmentalism, 9.01 &8.95 for respect for diversity. The 10 point scale shows students scores in the very good to superb range.
  5. Employer show mean score, longitudinal and 2004-2004 respectively of 8.23 & 8.1 or very good on a 10 point scale for practice with SOWK values and ethics.
 
This is definitely an area of strength for the program with scores in the very good to superb range. The Program has worked diligently on integrating ethics from the point of students' entry to exit from the program. The program will maintain its current focus on the integration of social work values and ethics into the curriculum. The program's emphasis on ethics in its gate-keeping practices and policies aids the program in achieving this objective. For example, students must earn the grade of a “C” or better in SOWK 172 and a positive evaluation in their 50 hours volunteer experience as an admission condition into the program. This enhances the quality of students entering the program and assures the likelihood of adherence to professional standards of suitability for the profession.
Generalist practice sensitive to diverse populations.

The outcome shows students' confidence in serving diverse populations is adequate, especially when considering the limited diversity within the regional and in social service practice settings. Field Supervisors and employers rate the students and alumni higher than students rate themselves in relations to generalist practice with diverse clients. The Program works creatively to find ways that would integrate direct interaction with diverse populations into the curriculum. We will continue to brainstorm ways and avenues to promote this and to increase students confidence in their ability when serving diverse populations. Assignments, volunteer work, and field education where students learn through direct interaction and contact will continue to be utilized.
