Abstract
The professional use of self is an essential component of social work education and it has traditionally been taught in the field education setting. The course SW 348: Professional Development in Social Work Practice was developed to explore the effectiveness of teaching these skills in a classroom setting. In the Fall 2012 semester, the 123 BSW students who completed this course took a survey that asked them to rate their perceived level of professional skills prior to taking the course and their perceived level of professional skills upon completion of the course. The data gathered from this study examines students' responses and discusses the effectiveness of teaching professional use of self in a classroom setting.
