Enhancing the cultural competence and sensitivity of social work students through an embedded course structure
This project will develop a new cultural competence and sensitivity framework for the social work curriculum across both undergraduate (BASW) and postgraduate (MSW) programmes in the department. Three features of the teaching and learning experience are emphasized:
- Developing Flipped Learning experience in cultural competence and sensitivity social work education, such as: interactive experience through human library, case dialogue and discussion, and role play analysis within and outside the classroom.
- Embedding the curriculum into existing courses with a consistent learning of skills, knowledge, and values as a culturally competent social worker.
- Using AI and immersive technology to experience oppressive and discriminatory experiences in a “do-not-harm” principle for social work students and the clients, such as: Chatbot dialogue with clients
Beyond the project’s features, it aims to achieve the following objectives:
- To equip the cultural competence and sensitivity of the social work student within the existing courses of the social work curriculum
- To develop a teaching pedagogy of using AI in social work education about anti-oppressive and discriminatory practice
To evaluate the effectiveness of culturally specific flipped classroom teaching and learning for social work education
