Social Work Education

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kate Whitney, and I am a DSW student at the University of Louisville. I am inviting you to participate in a forthcoming survey assessing organizational readiness among Bachelor of Social Work programs to implement simulation-based learning experiences.

We aim to gain valuable insights into faculty perspectives and institutional preparedness to integrate simulation into the BSW curriculum. This survey is designed specifically for BSW faculty members to help programs better understand and address the factors that may facilitate or hinder the adoption of simulation-based learning.

Please note that we are in the process of securing Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for this study, which is expected to be finalized by the fall semester of 2025. Once IRB approval is obtained, the survey will be distributed to faculty members, and your participation will be greatly valued. You can request to receive the survey by completing this form: https://forms.gle/vhxHCa7BG84CyEb2A or using the attached QR code to submit your contact information. (All responses are confidential, and only aggregate findings will be shared).

Please know your responses will play a crucial role in shaping a broader understanding of BSW programs' readiness to incorporate simulation-based learning and will contribute to enhancing social work education.

Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at kate.whitney@louisville.edu.
