Reviews

This book makes a contribution to the field of social work education in three major areas: pedagogical perspectives, teaching practice, and some of the common issues in teaching. Supported by scholarship based on current literature, the authors critically engage readers in reviewing the current knowledge and building on it with their own contributions.
