Transformational Learning in Social Work and Human Services Education
Helen Katherine Mudd
A critical challenge has emerged— how to make sense of life experiences in the realm of learning. This conundrum is particularly pronounced in the domains of social work and human services education. The call for a paradigm shift is urgent, as the theory of transformational learning contends that hands-on experiences are paramount in the educational landscape. Experiential learning stands as a powerful, proven approach that elevates education by fostering student reflection, critical thinking, service, engagement, and problem-solving. However, the realization of a high-quality experiential or service-learning experience necessitates meticulous planning and intention. It is this critical need that Transformational Learning in Social Work and Human Services Education seeks to address, providing a comprehensive Experiential-Learning Guide filled with pre-planning logistics, resources, and evaluation tools essential for crafting impactful experiential-learning events. Designed for the discerning academic scholar, this book beckons educators and administrators passionate about transformational, experiential, and service learning. Its scope reaches beyond disciplines, offering practical insights for integrating experiential learning into any course. Social Work, Human Service, and Non-Profit Administrators will find invaluable guidance on employing transformational leadership to fortify their programs. The book delves into transformative theory, leadership methodologies, models for experiential and transformational learning, and the nuts and bolts of designing immersive courses. From global experiential learning with a social justice lens to fostering partnerships for community restoration, the book navigates a vast sea of topics, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for educational excellence. Step into the realm of academic transformation and unlock the full potential of experiential learning.
