Can Cultural Competence Be Taught? Evaluating the Impact of the SOAP Model
Colvin-Burque, Angie; Zugazaga, Carole B.; Davis-Maye, Denise
Journal of Social Work Education, v43 n2 p223-242 Spr-Sum 2007
This article discusses the Self and Other Awareness Project (SOAP) cultural competence development model and presents the results of a study that evaluated its impact on the racial attitudes of 110 undergraduate students enrolled in an undergraduate interdisciplinary Minority Groups course at a mid-sized public university in the Southeastern United States. Findings indicate that students experienced a statistically significant change in racial attitudes measured by the Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (Neville, Lilly, Duran, Lee, & Browne, 2000) from the beginning to the end of the course. Further analysis revealed that social work majors (n=30) were significantly more aware of racial privilege and blatant racial issues at the end of the course than they were at the beginning of the course. (Contains 1 figure and 4 tables.)
