This course explores the relevance and importance of community development ideas and approaches in social work practice. It sets out to illuminate the community development process, its broad scope and critical or transformative potential. At its core, community development is about the movement from the private concerns of individuals to collective public action underpinned by values of ecological and social justice. Learning the practice of community development requires engaging with the values and theory base of the work; using 'method' to move a private concern to public action; structuring the work through forming groups and participatory and democratic organisations; and expanding linkages to develop coalitions and alliances to tackle trans-local and global issues. The course provides the opportunity for dialogue to explore the practice of community development and to practice key skills involved.

The Bachelor of Social Work (Hons) program is accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). The AASW Accreditation Standards (2020) stipulate that accredited social work programs are required to include content that addresses five core curriculum areas. SWSP4213 contains content in curriculum areas 1-4:

  1. Constructions of social work purpose, place, and practice
  2. Power, oppression, and exploitation
  3. The history and contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
  4. Culture, identity, and discrimination

Welcome to SWSP4213. The course explores the relevance and importance of community development ideas and approaches for social work in a range of contemporary practice contexts. In a rapidly changing and unpredictable global environment, there is new impetus for social workers to draw on community development approaches in the face of complex practice challenges. Grounded in values of social justice and human rights, the course is designed to supportᅠcritical thinking and collective working to nurture dynamic and innovative forms of practice that can respond to community and societal issues. The course provides participants with the opportunity to explore community development practices. The search for a sustainable community includes the community context (place), the community content (space for community knowledge and skills) and community ownership (base). We draw on 'method' to enable social work students to develop an understanding of how practitioners can transform activities into organised structures. The course invites you to view method as a way of ordering and structuring practice around four community development practice dimensions: micro, mezzo, macro and meta. Micro method for community development practitioners concerns building purposeful relationships with people. Mezzo method concerns people forming groups to undertake collective (public) action guided byᅠshared reflective analysis and visions for change. Macro method is about structuring the work, forming groups and participatory and democratic organisations that give the work some measure of stability and sustainability. The meta method dimension is about bridging, linking organisations into coalitions, alliances or federations in order to tackle trans-local or global issues.

Aims and outcomes

The aims of this course are to explore the relevance and importance of community development ideas and approaches to social work practice. The course sets out to illuminate the community development process, its broad scope and critical and transformative potential. Drawing on the community development method as a organising framework, the course will assist participants to understand how this method can help to transform community development activities into organised structures that strengthen community capacity. The distinctive feature about this courseᅠis that it concentrates on the structural imperatives of linking the method of work with programs, community organisations and local, social and global movements.

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

LO1.

Identify and demonstrate purposeful steps that structure community development processes, including group processes.

LO2.

Demonstrate familiarity with key theoretical approaches, principles and values of community development and their use in practice

LO3.

Understand the processes, the political implications and the value base inherent in moving a private concern to public action

LO4.

Critically evaluate different models of organisational structure and how they enhance or inhibit the developmental processes

Task description

This assessment is designed to support students to develop their community development practice in an authentic way, and facilitate deeper analysis and critical reflection on the course learning. In the first half of the course, we will practice the micro, mezzo, macro and meta method of developmental community work. Part A of the assessment involves hosting a 'Table Talk' in your own time to gain experience in identifying and analysing issues of concern within a community, and planning follow up actions. Drawing on the Table Talk experience, you will write a 1,500 word (individual) reflective analysis. Part B of this assessment involves a 10 minute dialogue-based (oral) assessment task. For this assessment, each student will engage in a 10 minute recorded, face-to-face discussion with their course tutor. The tutor will lead the discussion which will be based on the Table Talk experience and a series of reflective ‘checkpoints’ on the community development method in selected tutorials across the semester. These description are only a brief summary of this assessment task. For full details, including the marking rubrics for Part A and Part B , please refer to the course Learn UQ (Blackboard Ultra) site.

Notes on AI: Part A has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance. A failure to reference generative AI use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of AI tools. For further information on students' use of AI, please see: AI for study - AI Student Hub - Library Guides at University of Queensland Library

Weighting: Each part (Part A and Part B) is worth 30%, and the assessment is worth 60% in total.
