Signature Assessment SWK 510:  Generational Interview Paper

Competency 6: Engage with Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities

Social workers understand that engagement is an ongoing component of the dynamic and interactive process of social work practice with, and on behalf of, diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers value the importance of human relationships. Social workers understand theories of human behavior and the social environment, and critically evaluate and apply this knowledge to facilitate engagement with clients and constituencies, including individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers understand strategies to engage diverse clients and constituencies to advance practice effectiveness. Social workers understand how their personal experiences and affective reactions may impact their ability to effectively engage with diverse clients and constituencies. Social workers value principles of relationship-building and inter-professional collaboration to facilitate engagement with clients, constituencies, and other professionals as appropriate. Social workers:

  • apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, person-in-environment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks to engage with clients and constituencies; and
  • use empathy, reflection, and interpersonal skills to effectively engage diverse clients and constituencies

 Identify an individual who was born in any of the categories below; they must be of a different generation and era from the student. Students also may not interview their siblings, romantic partners, or children for this assignment. See the generational categories below.

  • 2001-2016: Generation Z. USE
  1. Interview an individual concerning his or her personal experiences with the shift in socio-political culture and trends. This can include such items as WW II, the Korean conflict, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the Women’s Movement and other relevant social problem shifts.  The idea is to gain information about the individual’s life experiences and to understand how those experiences influence his or her perception of the world.  The Person-In-Environment perspective views how an individual has been affected by their surroundings (physical environment, other people, culture, economic status, historical events . . .). 

Sample questions might include, but are not limited to (you are encouraged at add your own):

  • What are your earliest memories of the world around you? What was happening?
  • Which important family events affected you as you grew up?
  • Which important societal events affected you as you grew up (e.g. JFK, MLK, violence, the arts)?
  • Did racial or ethnic discrimination affect your life?
  • How have social problems changed in your lifetime?
  • What are the important things you would tell future generations?
  • What lessons do you think we need to learn from the past?
  1. Introduction: Complete an introduction section to your paper that includes all of the following:
  • ** Informed Consent: Before the interview, please ask the person’s permission to be interviewed for a class assignment that will result in a written paper read by your class instructor; provide written evidence that this has been completed.
  • A description of the interview (time, place, etc.)
  • A discussion about who you are interviewing and why (including which generation they are from & a statement of any relationship of the student to the interviewee)
  1. Interview Summary:Complete a narrative summary of the interview you conducted (do not write in a question and answer format). In the narrative, include information about all of the following
  • A summary of the dialog you had (again, do not do this as a Q&A, it needs to be summarized in paragraph form)
  • Provide some discussion on how the interviewee experienced oppression and/or discrimination. Remember that oppression and discrimination can be experiences because of age, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual preference, gender, religion, tradition and individual beliefs.
  • Include at least two paragraphs that provide examples of family, group, organization and community connections the interviewee identifies as significant (both positive and negative).
  1. Under a separate heading Social Work Skills, include a section in your paper that describes the social work interpersonal skills you used to engage your interviewee (e.g. active listening, eye contact, body language, clarification, and summarizing –and others.)
  2. Under a separate heading Theoretical Framework, discuss at least one theory/ theoretical framework that could relate to this interviewee (e.g. cognitive behavioral theory, rational choice theory, etc.) Explain why the theory is relevant and how it can be applied. (You must provide citations and references for this discussion that include sources other than the course textbook) I attached articles.
  3. Include a Conclusionsection that addresses how you think these events impacted the interviewee’s life. (Note:  the interviewee may not recognize the impact on her/his life but you may have thoughts from the information you receive.).

Write an 8-10 page paper based on the interview and the related assignment questions.  Please note that the title page and References page do not count in the page length requirement.  The paper must be written so that the individual’s life and social events are intertwined and her/his personal story emerges.    Please complete the paper using APA 6th edition format and Times New Roman 12 point font. 200 points possible
