摘要:In this article, we explore how social work students cultivated a deeper understandingand community connection with older adults through personal engagement withartistic practices. We begin with an exploration of gerontological social work, noting thetrends and challenges in this specialization. Guided by extended epistemology as aconceptual framework, we consider the role of the arts within critical pedagogy anddescribe an undergraduate course taken concurrently during student field-placements.As part of the curriculum, students designed artifacts about their experience workingwith older adults, which supported critical reflection and student-led learning. As anexemplar of a creative teaching model, further considerations for implementation arealso discussed
