Process Recording

Abstract

Despite the wide array of advances in recording technology, process recording remains an effective means for enabling students to conceptualize and evaluate their practice and for field instructors to track student progress toward educational goals. This article discusses process recording as both a productand a processand highlights its enduring importance in social work education as a learning and teaching tool. Building upon previous models, an updated structured outline for recording is offered which goes beyond more familiar traditional formulations to emphasize both the student's conceptualization of practice and the evaluation of student performance throughout the educational process.

Key Words:
