Teaching Strategies and Techniques: Philippine Experience

Abstract

… reality is life as a whole. Social Work is supposed to look at life as a whole. But to see and deal with life as a whole, two things are necessary, the culture of art, especially as perceived in creative literature, and the order of science (Frances Yasas).

ABSTRACT. Demonstrates the intersection of art and cognitive science in a complementary approach of mutual support in teaching. Describes the technique of using short stories and plays in teaching social work to expand and complement familiar didactic methods using creative literature in the examination of poverty and showing the applications of the approach across the entire social work curriculum (i.e., policy, practice, behavior, etc.).
