International field placement in social work
Our concern in this article is how to transform learning experiences in international field placement into sustainable social work knowledge for future practice. International field placement provides unique experiences that contribute to contextual understanding of social work and prepare students for practice in a multicultural setting. We have used focus group interviews and seen international experiences in light of domestic ones. In analysin…
Contextualizing international social work
The focus of this article is how can people’s religious practice be a resource in international social work? The question will be discussed in relation to pre-modern, modern and postmodern societies. The article will contain a description of religious activity in two different cases and related to international social work. The article concludes that from a postmodern view, international social work will profit from opening up and seeing religion…
You will never again be a Chilean like the others
In this paper we focus on repatriation of refugees who came to Norway after the coup d'état in Chile in 1973. The Chilean refugees formed part of a diaspora during exile. The authors’ concern is the returnees' relationship with the diaspora upon return. The purpose of the article is to discuss whether the notion of diaspora may contribute to an understanding of the situation of the returnees. Diaspora is widely used in migration studies, although…
Critical reflection in social work
This is a special issue on critical reflection. Critical reflection is not new to European social work, particularly not in the UK and the Nordic countries. However it is used in many different way
Challenges of Critical Reflection
This paper arises from the experiences of the authors in providing critical reflection training to social workers and health professionals. It examines the cultural challenges involved in undertaking critical reflection, and how such challenges may contribute to learning. We examine the nature of some of these risks and what might be at stake, and how we as educators might manage these in the interests of better learning. First we discuss the con…
Distance education and international social work education
As a result of the development of new communication technology, distance education has become a rapidly growing area over the last few decades. Market and commercial pressures are major factors in its developing impact. Distance education has also been applied to social work education. Because it is a small field it may be both positively and negatively affected. Social work education requires face-to-face communication training. Educators need t…
International Perspectives on Social Work
Linking critical reflection and qualitative research on an African social work master's programme
English This article describes concepts of critical reflection, critical incident and qualitative research methods that were taught on a master’s social work programme in an African state, by European colleagues. Student evaluation suggests that they had learned the importance of contextualizing social work knowledge. French Cet article passe en revue les notions de réflexion critique et les méthodes de recherche qualitative et d’incident critiqu…
Turning a facilitator's critical incident into student learning
Self-study of teaching using critical reflection is fairly new. This article relates how a facilitator's own critical incident, which happened in a class of social work students in a Norwegian university college, was used at a later date to introduce critical reflection to the same class and how that promoted learning for both students and facilitator. The critical incident is presented and reflected upon, and how it was introduced to the student…
The Post-Modern Student
The differences between present-day post-modern students and educators from older generations require changes in educational approach, but also challenge post-modern trends. Students' postmodern experiences may lead them to seek individuality among diverse sources of identity, seeing knowledge as a throwaway consumption good, and education promotes flexibility and “edutainment.” However, professional education trains people for structured manager…
Social work education’s cultural hegemony
English Globalization presses social work education towards post-colonial oppression of local cultures by dominant cultures, deepening economic difference and dependency. Diverse, local cultures and languages may be lost in internationalized social work education. Social work educational structures must combat cultural hegemony, allowing cultural translation of materials from dominant cultures and languages. French En matière d'enseignement du tr…
Broadening the mind
Cross-national activities in social work are claimed to be valuable because they 'broaden the mind' of participants. This paper argues that cross-national activities have as a result been uncritically valued, and proposes a more critical analysis. Drawing on examples of the authors' experiences, they argue that cross-national activity often misunderstands difference as cultural. Careful analysis of structural contexts, knowledge and process is cr…
Authors and audiences
An important aspect of case recording is that it is a social relationship between authors and audiences, as well as a system of information storage and retrieval. From the sociological perspective, three aspects of case recording are reviewed: the social relationship between authors and potential audiences, power relations between them, and the interpretation of reality which takes place within the social relationship of case recording. Consequen…
