Exploring Models for Indigenizing Social Work Education in China
Zhanghua, Wang; Liqun, Huang
Chinese Education and Society, v46 n6 p42-49 Nov-Dec 2013
The article examines the theories of indigenization and examines the problems facing China's social work education. It shows that the quality of social work education and teaching staff is low. The curriculum emphasizes theory and overlooks practical training. "Using as is," not modifying Western theories, has remained strong. The authors call for the indigenization of social work education.
