ABSTRACT

A capstone experience is a final opportunity for master’s of social work students to practice competencies they will apply in the field. To support the transition, we designed and evaluated a capstone course using ethically challenging cases in the Decision Case Method approach, as well as integrating active, embodied participation through Theatre of the Oppressed Forum Theatre. Feedback from students was mixed, with more positive feedback for the Decision Case Method classes. In this teaching note, we present how we researched and designed the course, feedback we received, reasons for the mixed feedback, and lessons learned that will likely be helpful to other social work programs designing capstone experiences.
