The students know and are familiar with the essential basic terms of qualitative and quantitative social research. They are able to apply at least one common method of data collection and evaluation relevant for Social Work research. They know the fundamentals of planning, implementation and evaluation of a research project. They are able to illustrate in their Bachelor thesis the application of a selected research method by the research performance. Contents: The students learn the different possibilities of working on scientific texts. They deal with reading methods and techniques, they learn to work through texts, reflect the importance of underlining, marking and of marginal notes. In this module students work through selected texts with regard to argument schemes or the examination of arguments, and they learn methods of condensed text processing. Moreover, the students have the opportunity to practice text writing. Besides the formal aspects of academic writing (e.g. citation) an analysis of fundamental forms of writing is done (e.g. writing style, argumentation, handling one own's thoughts). The focus lies on the exercise of writing itself, the students' work on their own way of academic writing. The module gives an overview of quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and evaluation, the relevant research paradigms are illustrated and the relevance of Social Work research methods is discussed. Students get to know different methods of literature research and knowledge organization, practicing on them as an example. Furthermore, the students intensively learn at least one method of data collection and evaluation, being enabled to achieve their own research performance. 22

They begin to weigh, decide and professionally implement possible strategies of solution and methods taking into account tasks, addressees, context and the case. The students know Social Work as professional practice in specific socioadministrative contexts because of 'their' field of work. They have gained knowledge and skills while working on certain immediate, step-by-step, instructed and independent tasks. 24

25 Students are able, in specific contexts of professional practice, to use their knowledge, understanding and abilities purposefully, sensitively with regard to context and in a solution-orientated manner in order to appropriately determine manifold problems and tasks of this practice against the background of scientific knowledge to weigh, decide and support possible solution strategies and methods led by criteria as well as to plan, implement, reflect and evaluate interventions. They are sufficiently able to responsibly and adequately design their role and its relations to clients, colleagues in their internship as well as to cooperation partners in this job. Furthermore, students begin to deal with the different types of role and relation design and their institutional frames, in the sense of critical Social Work. A special cross-sectional topic of the module is the field of "organization". The students acquire a general understanding of "organization" as a purposeful acting unity. They know the classical organizational theories, incl. the parts of organization (formal and informal structures, personnel, resources, concepts, supporters), they are able to orient themselves in organizations. They know the differentiated field of organizational forms with regard to personal social services as well as their general conditions and inherent contradictions. The supporter system in Germany and tendencies of modernization (from New Control to network models) are well known. The students are familiar with the special requirements for professional practice in socio-administrative and institutionalized contexts. The students begin to develop acting and planning competence. They are aware of the structural tension between organizational interest and users' interest, being able to reflectively handle diverging expectations and targets. The fifth semester which is a practical study semester includes the complementary study days (course BASA 12d) providing reflection, integration and evaluation of "practical experience as place of learning". The complementary study days promote and support the integration of the students' practical experience into their studies, providing the evaluation of this stage of study in view of the general and specific learning targets listed in the curriculum. Students get a deeper insight into the manifold problems and tasks and the different practices of various Social Work institutions in the study focus they have chosen. They are able to assign their experience to scientific findings. The students are familiar with the methods of 'supervision' and 'peer consulting'. They are able to use these methods for the qualification of their role and relationship design. Students have developed their self-perception and perception of others. They are aware of the special relevance of 'personality' and 'attitude' (solidarity and empathy, ability to make a decision and to handle conflicts, stability and resilience) in intervention processes. With regard to this professional field students have acquired broad and specific competences. Contents: The contents of the particular focus courses as well as of the complementary study days will be determined by the students together with the teachers (focus manager). Contents examples: Concerns, qualification goals and organization of core courses related to the vocational field, Design possibilities and performance requirements within the focus courses related to the vocational field, With regard to the internship: Dealing with problems and tasks, the framework, the technical, typical and personal requirements, the conceptual developments in the vocational field as well the conception of the internship. 25

26 The training program designed by the employer together with the student is the basis, documenting the schedule, organization and contents of this training unit, Concluding and extensive follow-up of the practical study semester, e.g. by dealing with questions from students against the background of their practical experience, Working with the 'material' contributed by students from their internship. The study focuses are interdisciplinary, each of them normally being tutored by two teachers ("Teamteaching" in course 12a (4 th semester) and 12d (5 th semester)). Contents of frame courses on the organization of Social Work: Organization of Social Work (theory, forms, support system and current developments), Project-related development of organization and concept in specific fields of Social Work. Usability of the module: Types of exam: Bachelor study course of Social Work Regular attendance of preparatory courses in the focus module (BASA 12a and BASA 12b, 4 th semester) as exam prerequisite. Internship report and written exam or term paper or presentation or oral exam or subject-specific forms of exams / exam performance Prerequesites for CP allocation: Weight for final grade: Module exam passed and proof according to 6 subsec. 4 of the internship regulations. Module result is calculated as arithmetic average taken from both results of the aforementioned two exam performances. Module exam result is weighted double, 1/6 of it being counted in final grade.

Here large space is given to the debate on the current change of the welfare state arrangement and the institution 'Social Work', particularly its effects on addressees and users of Social Work, as well as the question regarding possibilities and perspectives of critical-reflexive Social Work. Students' experience from their practical semester should be included. In the first part of the module (6 th semester) students take part in a project of Aesthetical Education and Practice which are to complement and promote their subject- and problem-related debate and their development work, creatively using the potentials of Aesthetical Education and Practice. With regard to the module subject: "Criticism and Perspectives of Social Work" the students have adequate fundamental knowledge. They are able, furthermore, to recognize the connections of this subject, asking questions of social science, such as of social theory, state theory and socio-philosophy and ethics. Students know the relevant discourses and positions on the subject "Criticism and Perspectives of Social Work". They are able to question these, on a technical and ethical basis, with regard to the aspect which spaces they might open for the acquisition and use by the addressees of Social Work themselves. Contents: Articles and positions of a critical-reflexive debate with the institution Social Work based on social theory, Current change of the welfare state and the welfare institution 'Social Work' 27
