This paper reports the results of an action research project where care givers and care receivers from the community gave lectures to second year students in our department. Our objective was to measure changes in awareness of important issues among our students as a result of introducing persons involved with real life social work interactions. Participating students responded to a questionnaire eliciting attitude and awareness responses from the first lecture session and again at the end of the course. A comparison of pre-and post-responses indicted a significant change on all questionnaire items, notably on items related to cooperation and sympathy for clients. Interestingly, items related to the students' sense of autonomy and professional development showed the greatest change. However, a measure of students' confidence toward future practical training showed less change than other items due to participation in the sessions. Implications for this method of teaching are discussed.
