Textbook Analysis and Infusion Project

Our recent analysis of 19 frequently used social work foundation textbooks found that approximately 3% of the 9,828 pages analyzed contained aging content. The full report of this analysis will appear in the spring 2006 issue of the Journal of Social Work Education (JSWE) and has been added to our Web site.

Curriculum infusion and transformation require that foundation textbooks have gerontological content to support the gerontological knowledge, values, and skills infused in foundation courses. The Gero-Ed Center actively seeks partnerships with authors and editors to increase the quantity and quality of aging content in their texts.
