Students learn about crisis and trauma-specific possibilities for intervention, in particular conversation techniques and conversational guidance to deescalate psychosocial crisis (crisis intervention). Furthermore, the students reflect upon crisis experiences and thus generate experiential knowledge, which can be related to theory during the module. Methods and techniques of psychological hygiene and self-care are included.Assessment methodsContinuous assessment immanentTeaching methodsactive participation during the module, working with literature, presentationLanguageGerman> Orientation and Fields of Social Work ILV Social Work moreOrientation and Fields of Social Work ILVLector: FH-Prof. Mag.

Alongside a presentation of students' group work as a specific form of learning, methods of time management are introduced, and the personal implementation of such methods addressed. Furthermore, the students learn about the department's curriculum with its modular structure and receive an introduction to the administrative procedures of the degree.

Self-perception and external perception are addressed, and team and cooperation skills strengthened. Furthermore, students acquire fundamental knowledge about selected social organisations i.e. relating to their history, goals, tasks, legal conditions, financial foundations, professional repertoire of methods, organisational structure and documentation. Current questions by selected institutions, as well as concrete practice experience are reflected, and related to theory and practice where appropriate. This is also done in preparation for a 4-week long work placement, which full time students complete at the beginning of the 2nd semester and relates to the practice orientation days for part time students in the 1st/2nd semester. Questions about reconciling studies, work placement and professional motivation are discussed.

Alongside the engagement with personal values and conflict of values, a reflection about different roles, on the one hand in relation to the relationship of placement managers and interns, and, on the other hand between interns and clients, is carried out. The analysis and reflection for the team and group work is practiced.

They deepen their knowledge about different ways of working, in terms of analysing the literature and familiarising themselves with the formal rules. They practice the scientific argumentation and analysis of subject-specific areas of discourse, learn to assess resources and understand the criteria for assessing academic writing. The students are supported during the preparation of the exposé and narrowing of their topical scope. Concrete sources are discussed with them and they receive feedback on their writing and research process, while working on their exposé. The exposé is presented and discussed with the students during the module, and a general structure and time plan for the thesis is elaborated.

They receive feedback on the writing and research process during writing the individual thesis, and implement it in their work. Students implement the scientific concepts acquired during the degree through recognising, defining and elaborating on the questions, based on the basic scientific methods, which are important for the field. They are able to illustrate the relevance of the selected topic for their theory-based and scientifically sound engagement with the case-related area of research. They compose their academic work in a fashion that complies with the general and scientific language requirements, lead a discussion at the current discourse level of the selected field and know the assessment criteria, which need to be applied to the bachelor thesis.

The subjective, respective group seminar experiences of the participants are connected to the field-related work placement. Information about the Social Work labour market situation and working conditions, about placement and application procedures within the scope of the practice fields, allow for a realistic assessment on current developments in the professional context of Social Work and aid the decision making process on entering the profession. Through individual research, exchange with professionals and visiting events, the relevant aspects of Social Work practice are put in focus and development perspectives – on an individual and professional level –, are designed or deepened.
