Abstract
-
The Environmental Contaminants Education Project is comprised of two major components. One component consists of the development of the Environmental Contaminants Curriculum Package which presents four pre-tested curriculum modules integrating environmental contaminants content into the foundation curriculum areas of social work education. The development of this curriculum package is intended to expand the conceptualization of the physical environment in social work, advancing the ecological approach to professional practice. Concomitantly, the curriculum package provides the means to operationalize an expanded concept of physical environment by including complete curriculum for use in social work practice courses, social policy courses, and human behavior courses.;The second major component of this project is the development of the Marketing Model for Curriculum Innovation Implementation. Integrating marketing theory and curriculum innovation implementation theory, this model addresses the problem of limited implementation of curriculum innovations. The model was used to implement the Environmental Contaminants Curriculum Modules in a school of social work, demonstrating that curriculum updating, especially in areas of critical and current concern to the profession, can be achieved. The evaluation of the model documented its effectiveness and provided guidelines for further research towards increasing the usefulness of the marketing model for implementing curriculum innovations.
