As one of the three main social work methods, group work method plays an increasingly important role in terms of helping others. How well the application of the team work skills is and whether the team workers play their roles properly both relate to the success or failure of the team work activities. That is to say, group workers themselves obviously impact the social work practice. Therefore, based on the theory of action research, through author's full participation in the "Storms·Rainbows" group work practice, this study was aimed to alleviate the post-graduate entrance test anxiety, the primary line of which was the intervention skills, and the study object of which was social woker T's service action. On the one hand, the author observed and recorded T's substantial action, in order to scrutinize this practice worker's expertise. On the other hand, the author analyzed T's assessment work, including Needs Assessment and Effect Assessment.First of all, the author analyzed T 's work of Needs Assessment, including the analyses on the specific process of the Needs Assessment and the designed intervention program of "Storms.Rainbows" 's group activities. The result showed that the questionnaires and the scales utilized in the Need Assesment both had validities and pertinences. But there still existed some unresolved problems, for instance, some other factors' impacts on the post-graduate entrance test anxiety were ignored.Secondly, the author emphatically analyzed the intervention skills of different stages in the process of the group practice, containing two aspects as professional and non-professional skills. These skills substantially included T's acting performance in the preparation work and the implementation process. The result showed that, in addition to the general social work skills, ‘Encourage and support' and ‘Suggest and advice' skills were more applicable to the “Supporting group work”. The author was both an actor and a researcher, involving in the process of group practice, mainly playing as an observer and a scorer to observe and analyze the behavior of T' service action, thus finding out the problems and weaknesses, then to summarize the strengths and experience.Finally, the author analyzed T 's Effect Assessment work, essentially including the methods and the contents of the assessment, and also analyzed the reasonability of the combination of quantitative and qualitative evaluation, putting forward a supplement of ABA evaluation design, rethinking about the study's insufficiencies in order to provide the practice of social work with some valid references.
