These 20 essays illustrate teaching strategies that can be
incorporated into community-based practicums and internships. The
book explores the innovative uses of experiential education in
community work. Useful techniques for community problem-solving and
ways in which groups can learn to work together more effectively
are provided. There are new applications of democratic practice.
Mutual self-respect and collective self-reliance are encouraged.
Practitioners will find they can have power in an increasingly
interdependent society and world. Experiential Education for
Community Development suggests a degree of pre-planning accompanied
by analysis. The essays are organized by topic. Two beginning
essays provide an overview and general theoretical orientation to
the material. The next four sections offer a variety of case
studies on community work education experience in the United States
and other countries drawn primarily from programs of community and
organizational development and community education. An afterword
presents a synthesis of the editors' findings and an assessment of
the future of experiential education in community work. This volume
is the third in a series on the concepts, issues, and strategies of
community development education and training. Experiential
Education for Community Development is a valuable resource for
practitioners and teachers of community work.
