Previous Student Project 2020/2021 – Student experience during COVID-19

About

This inquiry aimed to explore the student experience of remote project-based placements. The research explored how social work students from regional universities experienced online and remote research-based placements during COVID-19. The four student participants were undertaking a social work research-based placement during COVID-19, participating in a range of research activities supported by the academics in the research team. The co-operative inquiry was undertaken with a unique focus on the student voice.

Testimonials

“There is a different voice that arises out of the co-operative inquiry process because we play that role of both researcher and subject”

“This experience has forged a greater appreciation for the role that research plays in social work, enhanced our ability to communicate effectively and developed our skills in research and strengthened our developing sense of professional identity”
