| Abstract | International and intercultural learning requires flexibility, openness, and a willingness to adjust--on the part of the school as well as the student. Yet in social work, as in other professions requiring licensure and preparing professionals to work with vulnerable populations, flexibility is not simply a matter of convincing a department head or registrar to substitute one course for another or to waive a requirement. Becoming a professional social worker requires meeting a set of mandated requirements in a way that becoming a historian or a sociologist does not. Although social workers are encountering increasing amounts of social and cultural difference in their daily practice, certification in the profession nevertheless does--and should--require a known set of competencies and skills. How, then, are social work students to have international and intercultural experiences, without extending the length of their training? In order to understand the options that are available for internationalizing social work education, and, in particular, internationalizing its field work placements through education abroad, one first must examine the requirements of the field in the U.S., definitions of international social work, and the rationales that have been advanced for internationalizing the field. The models for international student learning that have been proposed and practiced--the prescriptive and the descriptive--need to be reviewed and their plusses and minuses weighed. New options can be considered when the existing situation is known. (Contains 2 endnotes.) (ERIC). |
