Abstract
Open access podcasting or podcasts on the internet on specific disciplinary topics are gaining prominence but are not well researched. This paper explores the usefulness of a new podcast series for social workers freely available on the internet that aims to: promote the profession of social work and contribute to a social work identity; make connections between theory, research, and practice; introduce students to real-life practice issues much earlier than often occurs in undergraduate degrees; and provide practitioners with opportunities for ongoing professional development. The evaluation was based on social media and website statistics, a survey of 22 students and nine educators, and a content analysis of listener feedback. While the evaluation provided limited evidence that all the aims had been met, the findings revealed very positive attitudes towards the initiative.
自由登陆特定学科话题的播客，在网络上日益时兴，但却缺乏研究。本文探讨了一种新播客系列的功用。旨在促进社工专业、提高社工认同者，将理论研究联系实际者，早于本科阶段向学生介绍现实生活实践话题者，向实践工作者提供持续职业发展机会者，都可以自由登陆该播客系列。本文根据社会媒体及网站的统计数据、对22名学生及9位教师的调查、以及听众反馈的内容分析，做了评估。根据评估很难说所有目标都达到了，但人们对此动议表现了积极的态度。
