How Do Students Perceive the International Dimension in Social Work Education?: An Enquiry among Swedish and German Students
Trygged, Sven; Eriksson, Bodil
Journal of Social Work Education, v48 n4 p655-667 Dec 2012
Globalization, internationalization, and regionalization affect domestic social work. This paper explores how undergraduate students perceive international aspects of their social work education. A questionnaire was distributed to social work undergraduates in Stockholm, Sweden (n = 97), and Darmstadt, Germany (n = 43). Results showed that a majority of students in Sweden were prepared to work with immigrants and refugees. A majority of students in both countries wanted more education about refugee social work and social work in other countries. The amount of exchange activities was modest, but many students could consider working abroad. Students related most strongly to international aspects of domestic social work such as work with immigrants and refugees. (Contains 2 tables.)
