Publikation Transforming teaching and learning experiences for helping professions in higher education. Global perspectives(Brill, 2023) Pillay, Roshini; Mkwananzi, Sibusiso; Moonsamy, SharonHigher education has transformed and continues to transform in this century, because of decolonizing the curriculum and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have added an indelible mark to the methodology of teaching and learning. Learning spaces have become open to more people through privatization, massification, e-learning platforms and internationally mobile academics, allowing individuals from diverse backgrounds to enter the academic and helping professions space. Educators need to reskill, repurpose, redesign, and reimagine for a world that is rapidly evolving. New ways of teaching need to consider nuances of decolonization of the curriculum, deep understanding of subjects, transformative ways of imparting knowledge and technology-enhanced learning needs to be embraced. Thus, the teaching and learning spaces in developed and developing environments move beyond the classroom to prepare 21st century citizens to embrace life-long learning. Furthermore, the content as well as processes involved in teaching and learning must be explored thoughtfully that includes the perspectives of a more inclusive wave of educators and students. Thus, this book has implications for a global scholarship, specifically during disruptive times in Higher Education. It is hoped that the book stimulates reflections so that the reader draws inspiration to find contextual relevance that extends into the real-world.03 - SammelbandPublikation Mythos Reflexion. Zur pädagogischen Verhandlung von Reflexion zwischen Notwendigkeit und Unsicherheit(Barbara Budrich, 09/2022) Kösel, Stephan; Unger, Tim; Hering, Sabine; Haupt, SelmaReflexion wird zumeist als zentral für professionelles pädagogisches Handeln angesehen. Wie sicher ist aber unser Wissen über Reflexion? Ist Reflexion zu einem Mythos innerhalb der Erziehungswissenschaft und Sozialen Arbeit geworden, weil die etablierten Formen und Verständnisse von Reflexion mehr versprechen oder gar verschleiern, als sie halten können? Andererseits bedarf es gerade Reflexion als professionellem Anspruch, um widersprüchliche und komplexe Anforderungen zu versöhnen bzw. daraus resultierende Unsicherheiten zum Sprechen zu bringen. Die Autor*innen haben sich im Format des Denkkollektiv zu Workshops getroffen, um zwischen ihren jeweiligen Perspektiven auf den Mythos Reflexion disziplinäre Fragen, übergreifende Herausforderungen und Potentiale für Professionalisierungsprozesse zu klären und präsentieren ihre Ergebnisse in diesem Band. Die Unsicherheit über die Effekte, Verläufe und Impulse von Reflexion wird im fachlichen Diskurs der Erziehungswissenschaft und der Sozialen Arbeit einerseits oft thematisiert, andererseits aber auch begleitet durch eine Selbstverständlichkeit der Relevanz und Wirkmächtigkeit von Reflexion im Allgemeinen. Reflexion ist nicht nur mit Ungewissheit, sondern auch dem Nimbus des Selbstverständlichen verbunden – man möchte meinen, Reflexion sei zu einem Mythos innerhalb der Erziehungswissenschaft und Sozialen Arbeit geworden.03 - SammelbandPublikation Exploring social work students’ interest in research courses: comparing levels of interest and its predictors among students in Australia and Switzerland(19.01.2020) Gredig, Daniel; Heinsch, Milena; Bartelsen, AnnabelleIn the last twenty years, several studies have confirmed social work students’ reluctance to embrace research courses. In a recent Swiss study, first year Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students’ interest in research courses was predicted by their research orientation (including the perceived importance and the attributed usefulness of research for practice, and the perceived unbiased nature of research), and fear of research courses. The present study aimed to explore whether these findings are specific to the local professional and educational context. We compared levels of interest in research courses, and predictors for this among students entering BSW programs in Switzerland and Australia. We hypothesized that students entering a BSW program in Australia show higher levels of interest in research courses, have a stronger research orientation, and report lower levels of fear, than students entering a BSW program in Switzerland. Further, we hypothesized that a) interest in research courses is predicted by students’ fear of research courses and research orientation, b) research orientation is determined by fear of research courses, and c) fear is predicted by general self-efficacy and statistic anxiety. Method: In 2017 and 2018, we invited students entering BSW programs in an Australian and a Swiss university to complete an anonymous self-administered online questionnaire prior to the commencement of their program. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multivariate analyses and structural equation modelling. The sample included 165 Australian and 245 Swiss students (N=410), 318 (78%) female and 92 (22%) male, aged 17–58 (Mdn=22), with various entry qualifications, who were studying either full time or part time. Results: Students entering the Australian BSW program showed significantly lower levels of interest (p=0.024), had a stronger research orientation (p=0.024, p≤0.001, p≤0.001), and reported higher levels of fear (p≤0.001) than those entering the program in Switzerland. In both groups, interest in research courses was predicted by students’ fear of research courses (β=-0.30 vs. β=–0.39) and their research orientation (β=0.39 vs. β=0.38). Fear of research courses was predicted by general self-efficacy (β=-0.31 vs β=–0.32) and statistics anxiety (β=0.18 vs β=0.23). In both groups, fear of research courses did not determine research orientation. Among Australian students, age predicted the levels of fear and interest. Among Swiss students, gender predicted the reported levels of fear while age predicted research orientation, and a specific type of entry qualification co-determined their levels of interest (Australian model: GFI=0.951, AGFI=0.902, SRMR=0.084, RMSEA=0.068, adj. R2=0.24; Swiss model: GFI=0.968, AGFI=0.941, SRMR=0.068, RMSEA=0.035, adj. R2=0.32). Conclusion: Students entering a BSW program in Australia reported a stronger research orientation than students in Switzerland did. This could be an expression of the longer tradition of social work education at university level and subsequently, a stronger commitment to evidence-informed practice in Australia. However, Australian students showed lower levels of interest in and higher levels of fear of research courses than Swiss students. Regardless of the context, the predictors of research interest were the same in both groups.06 - Präsentation
