Since the publication of Donald Schön's The Reflective Practitioner in 1983 there has been a dramatic growth of research and writing developing the concept of reflective learning. Surprisingly, there has been little application of concepts of reflective learning to social work education. This volume: • makes accessible for the first time to a social work readership a book which focuses on reflective learning in social work • brings together material on reflective learning from both academic and practice settings • creates a seminal text for educators and trainers in universities and practice settings • has relevance to an international readership, with contributions from the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
