Moving toward a More Inclusive Educational Environment? A Multi-Sample Exploration of Religious Discrimination as Seen through the Eyes of Students from Various Faith Traditions
Hodge, David R.
Journal of Social Work Education, v42 n2 p249-267 Spr-Sum 2006
This multi-sample study of master of social work students from various faith traditions (N = 391) explores the extent to which religious discrimination is perceived to exist as a problem in social work education programs. No difference in perceptions emerged between religiously affiliated and non-affiliated respondents. Evangelical Christians generally reported higher levels of discrimination than theologically liberal and mainline Christians. The confirmation of the second hypothesis suggests that professional attention may be needed to ensure compliance with the profession's ethical and educational standards, while the failure of the first hypothesis suggests that progress toward a more inclusive educational environment may be occurring.
