This article describes a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Gero-Ed Center BEL Project's activities and reports its final outcomes. An oral history interview in paired human behavior and practice skills courses addressed gerontological social work competencies focused on assessing and addressing values and biases regarding aging, and the ability to relate concepts and theories of aging to practice. Significant increases in perceived proficiency in these competencies occurred, as did significant decreases in negative attitudes toward older people and working with older adults. Qualitative data supported these results. Findings suggest social work educators utilize a combination of classroom-based and experiential learning to maximize student development.
本文介绍了社会工作教育委员会（CSWE）老年教育中心BEL项目的活动，并报告了其最终成果。在人类行为与实践技能配对课程中进行的口述历史访谈，涉及老年社会工作能力，重点是评估和处理对衰老的价值观和偏见，以及将衰老的概念和理论与实践联系起来的能力。这些能力方面的感知熟练度显著提高，对老年人和与老年人一起工作的消极态度也显著下降。定性数据支持了这些结果。研究结果表明，社会工作教育工作者利用基于课堂的学习和体验式学习相结合的方式，以最大限度地促进学生发展。
