“…A wealth of social work literature documented the use of sensitivity groups and communication skills training in teaching empathy to social work students (Erera, 1997;Nerdrum & Lundquist, 1995;Vinton & Harrington, 1994). However, despite the important role of empathy in social work education and professional practice, the assessment of empathy, particularly via rapid assessment instruments, was seldom investigated in social work research.…”

Objectives: Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (C-IRI) for the assessment of empathy in Chinese people were examined. Method: The Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) was translated to Chinese, and an expert panel reviewed its content validity and cultural relevance. The translated instrument (C-IRI) was administered to 189 junior high school students and 391 university students. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a stable hierarchical three-factor structure that was consistent with structure of the English IRI, but the cognitive and emotional aspects of empathy were combined to form a new factor. The subscales of the C-IRI demonstrated acceptable to good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Some evidence for the construct validity of the measure was also found. Conclusions: The C-IRI possessed acceptable psychometric properties in Chinese adolescent samples. The present findings suggest that the cognitive and emotional aspects of empathy are not differentiated in Chinese adolescents.

“…As Laughlin (1978, 68) acknowledged, 'the self-instruction group may be considered a product of inaccuracy in the self-evaluation process'. Vinton and Harrington (1994) were also interested in the role of the self in student learning. Only students in the intervention group 'videotape other and self', who videoed themselves role-playing client to social work interactions, made gains that reached statistical significance.…”

Purpose This article presents a systematic review of research into the teaching and learning of communication skills in social work education. Methods We conducted a systematic review, adhering to the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews for Interventions and PRISMA reporting guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Results Sixteen records reporting on fifteen studies met the eligibility criteria. Studies consisted of randomised trials and quasi-experimental designs. Outcome measures included knowledge, attitudes and skills. Significant heterogeneity meant a narrative synthesis rather than meta-analysis was undertaken. Systematic communication skills training supports the development of students’ communication skills including the demonstration of expressed empathy and interviewing skills. Discussion The existing body of literature is limited but promising. Researchers conducting studies into communication skills training should seek to carry out robust and rigorous outcomes-focused studies. Further investigation into the theoretical underpinnings of the educational interventions and the roles played by key stakeholders is also required.

“…Many are considering how this technology may replace traditional attendance driven courses with distance learning options in social work (Faux & Black-Hughes, 2000;Johnson & Huff, 2000;Menon & Coe, 2000;Petracchi, 2000;Schoech, 2000;Stocks & Freddolino, 2000). Effects of media technology on social work students are also at a primitive but thriving stage (Cauble & Thurston, 2000;Huff, 2000;Vinton & Harrington, 1994).…”

Consensus has not been reached regarding the content of human behavior in the social environment (HBSE) courses in schools of social work. Changes in the CSWE Education Policy and Accreditation Standards reflect, in part, the needs of the people social workers serve and the tools necessary to properly equip social workers in that pursuit. While considering the degree of dissension and change within the academic environment, theories of intervention should also provide the practitioner with an understanding of how detrimental behavior develops as well as how undesirable behaviors can be modified or eliminated. It also must provide a description of normal as well as dysfunctional behavior. It is crucial, therefore, that any theory of behavioral change identify the antecedent conditions through which the disordered behavior was acquired. It also must provide very specific behavioral prescriptions and procedures that the practitioner can use to eliminate the undesirable behaviors. An indispensable component of any educational program is the development of critical thinking skills. The HBSE curriculum is no different, and especially requires the use of this skill. In order for students to properly evalu-ate the theories put before them while in the classroom or in practice, instruction must be given on how to evaluate and students given subsequent opportunities to apply these instructions. This article will focus on the micro and macro evidence-based curriculum, a new educational standard under the Council of Social Work Education, in the human behavior in the social environment module.
