Spotlight on Research at Center Stage: Using Poster Sessions to Showcase Student Research
Ello, Linda M.
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v26 n3-4 p155-165 Nov 2006
This paper discusses the use of poster sessions to showcase and celebrate student research efforts. Poster presentations provide an opportunity for students to display and discuss research completed during the course of their graduate social work education. The author provides a descriptive analysis of data compiled during four years of teaching research with this strategy and serving as research advisor to 54 independent projects in an MSW program. From the beginning stages of topic selection, to the final presentation of project findings at a poster session, the challenges and benefits of guiding students through the process are discussed.
