Abstract

ABSTRACT The introduction of COVID-19 disrupted almost every facet of global societies, including institutions of higher education. With limited time to prepare for the emergent shift to virtual instruction, few educators had the time or emotional energy to invest in course redesign to meet established standards of quality online education. Strained by lack of guidance from their institutions and limited confidence in teaching social group work virtually, twelve group work educators initially participated in a weekly mutual aid group of peer members sponsored by the International Association for Social Work with Groups. This paper describes the evolution of a peer-facilitated, international, mutual aid group for group work educators making the transition to an online format – its conception, formation, purpose, structure, facilitation, and process. The authors address the personal experiences of all members, and place the group into a theoretical context.

我们也需要互助：小组工作导师互相帮助，指导在线教学

摘要新冠肺炎的传入几乎扰乱了全球社会的方方面面，包括高等教育机构。由于准备向虚拟教学过渡的时间有限，很少有教育工作者有时间或精力投资于课程重新设计，以达到既定的在线教育质量标准。由于缺乏机构的指导，以及对虚拟教授社会团体工作的信心有限，12名团体工作教育工作者最初参加了由国际团体社会工作协会赞助的每周同伴互助小组。本文描述了一个由同伴推动的国际互助小组的演变，该小组由小组工作教育工作者向在线形式过渡——其概念、形成、目的、结构、促进和过程。作者讲述了所有成员的个人经历，并将小组置于理论背景中。

期刊介绍： Social Work with Groups is a unique quarterly journal of community and clinical practice, and an important reference publication for those in the social work profession who value and seek to understand the small group. The journal addresses the issues of group work in psychiatric, rehabilitative, and multipurpose social work and social service agencies; crisis theory and group work; the use of group programs in clinical and community practice; and basic group competencies for all social work professionals. The contributions reflect a sophisticated knowledge of the use of the group as a learning medium and a highly developed understanding of instructional technology in the teaching of social group work knowledge and skills.
