Overview
Students should be able to articulate the mix of philosophical assumptions informing the delivery of human services in Australia pointing to opportunities for change. Students should be able to apply taxonomy of professional knowledge to the relationships between these philosophies, ideologies, and social theories that will contribute to their emerging framework for social work practice. Students should be able to analyse and apply social theories to assist in making sense of individual relationships within societies and select and apply different social work intervention strategies within both meso and macro systems of society.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Module/Topic
Flexible learning
This unit is based on the philosophy of Community-Focused Learning or problem-based learning - elaborated on in the animation titled the Spiral of Life Long Learning located at Moodle.
This unit does not have a weekly study schedule. The unit comprises four modules based on Connolly and Harms (2019). Several theories that will inform your assessment tasks are presented within the following modules.
Mountain moving theories
Systems theories
Story telling theories
Reflective and Reflexive practice
As the readings and resources are contained within each of these four modules you can move through them with your own flexible study schedule. The Spiral of Life Long Learning is intended to help you with this planning also.

1 Presentation and Written Assessment
Task Focus
This assessment task requires you to work in a collaborative learning group resulting in a creative workshop presentation (PD). This assessment task requires the group to present materials only. There is no oral presentation required.
1. GROUP ALLOCATION – LOGISTICS
- You will be allocated by your lecturer to a group in your unit Moodle site.
- Each group will work within your allocated group site on Moodle (lecturer supported)
- Each member must make initial contact with each by Week 3
- Each group formulates set times/meetings/content/materials – all placed in the relevant group site. A timetable of the working group activities will be amended as the group work through this assessment.
- Presentation – utilise relevant presentation technology consistent with CQU’s policy on technology use. For example, Microsoft powerpoint (PPT) or YouTube etc.
- Use creativity to engage your audience.
- One submission per group is required.
- Please ensure the Cover Page includes the names of your team members, who have contributed to the submission.
2. CONTEXT AND YOUR ROLE
- Your organisational context is a multidisciplinary team delivering a service that is that is consistent with the following scenario (in italics below). Imagine you belong to a Community of Practice (COP) network of social workers that are geographically dispersed and employed by a multi-regional organisation of your choosing, e.g. Anglicare, Centacare, -Community Mental Health, Centrelink, or Child Safety etc
- Your group is tasked with presenting at the next PD event
- Your audience for this event includes management, community nurses, occupational therapists, welfare workers, psychologists.
- This presentation will be delivered using presentation software, in this instance (PPT or YouTube etc.). Other materials used in the presentation will need to be electronic (for submission purposes).
- Your overall task in this PD session is to raise your audience’s awareness of social worker’s theoretical eclecticism in order to understand the relationships between individual’s lives and their relationships with their physical and social environment.
3. THE TASK
Scenario:
Anna comes to see you because she’s struggling to cope. She is a single mother with two school age children. She’s extremely worried about providing for her family and is experiencing high levels of anxiety about her children’s school attendance, their father’s presence, custodial agreement, finances, and the unsuitability of her living arrangements.

|
Moving Mountains theories |
Radical theory Critical theory Intersectionality Feminism Anti-oppressive and rights-based practice |
|
Systems theory |
|
|
Story-telling theories |
Post modernism Narrative Strengths Yarning |
- Your group will examine three (3) theories (explored during term and in your study) that inform social worker’s understanding of individual’s relationships with their social environment, that is, groups, families, neighbourhoods.
- Briefly examine the history of these theories and how/why they became part of the social work profession’s eclectic theoretical mix.
- The choice of three (3) theories help interpret or predict the stressors that Anna, her lived experience, and the relationships of those stressors with their physical and social environment.

-
Use a diverse range of independent sources to describe the nature and extent of the social issue identified.

With the goal of raising your community’s awareness of the social issue of concern and to begin a process of community engagement and change, use the Story-Telling theories presented in this Unit’s Study to inform and design a sequence of three (3) community events – the basis of your background proposal.
-
The design of the three (3) community events must be supported with theoretical concepts.
These three (3) community events are sequenced to be built upon and not repetitious.
-
Be mindful of the presentation of theoretical concepts to an audience unfamiliar with those perspectives and the ways in which language and concepts need to be conveyed
-
Locate social work interventions in the published literature or reports by reputable organisations in Australia where community awareness raising, engagement and change has been undertaken around the same or similar social issues.
-
Consider the diversity of your local community members when using information/language, learning and change.
-
Consider how you would address the issue selected might be viewed by First Nations People and people from culturally and linguistically diverse heritages.
Requirements
-
Use a conventional and legible size 12 font, such as Times New Roman or Arial, with 1.5 line spacing and 2.54cm page margins (standard pre-set margin in Microsoft Word).

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
