Religion and Spirituality in Master of Social Work Education: Past, Present, and Future Considerations
Moffatt, Kelsey M.; Oxhandler, Holly K.
Journal of Social Work Education, v54 n3 p543-553 2018
This article describes the assessment of accredited or in-candidacy master of social work programs' inclusion of a course on religion and spirituality (RS) in the United States. In June 2016, of the 257 eligible programs, 78 (30.4%) indicated they offer at least one required or elective course on RS in social work, either in or outside the department. A content analysis of the 90 available course descriptions specific to RS in social work indicated religious or spiritual traditions and diversity, social work ethics, and spiritually sensitive practice were common topics. Twenty syllabi were reviewed, and a content analysis on their required readings and assignments was also conducted. Implications and future steps for social work educators and the profession to consider are included.
