Abstract:

This article presents a process of creating an educational model for teaching social work with groups in an undergraduate social work degree programme in Israel. The “Joyful Noise and Curiosity” (JNC) model was developed against a backdrop of decreasing status of social group work within the profession and the consequent loss of its unique identity and power in the social work field. The model's aims are to provide the students with the basic principles of social group work, to ensure its place in their professional identity, and to awaken curiosity regarding its use in their future practice as social workers. The JNC model contains a variety of elements that can contribute to strengthening the curiosity and motivation of students, by making a joyful noise about social group work. Implications for adopting the model in other teaching environments are discussed.
