ABSTRACT

This handbook is a comprehensive text on social work education based on the narratives of social work educators, practitioners, and researchers from Asia and the Pacific, North and South America, Australia and Oceania, and Europe. It discusses innovations, challenges, pedagogy, and tested methods of social work teaching at various levels of educational programmes.

The volume:

  • Examines key concepts that underpin debates concerning social work teaching, research, and practice
  • Brings out key concerns, debates, and narratives concerning various teaching, learning, and pedagogical methods from different countries
  • Documents principal perspectives of different stakeholders involved in social work education – from educators and practitioners to novice social workers

The Routledge International Handbook of Social Work Teaching will be an effective instrument in informing policy decisions related to social work teaching and pedagogy at the global and local levels. It will be essential for educators, researchers, and practitioners within social work institutions and for professional associations around the world.
