Social Work Education and Avoidable Ignorance
Gambrill, Eileen
Journal of Social Work Education, v50 n3 p391-413 2014
The quality of professional education affects the quality of services offered to clients. Examples of avoidable ignorance that dilute the quality of education social workers receive are suggested, indicating that we have not been honest and energetic brokers of knowledge and ignorance. Related reasons are suggested, including a reluctance to take responsibility for the quality of our discourse.
