Authors: Crabtree, S.A., Parker, J., Azman, A. and Carlo, D.P.

Journal: Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development

Volume: 25

Issue: 1

Pages: 42-53

DOI: 10.1080/02185385.2014.1003393

Abstract:

This article discusses findings from a three-year British Council-funded project into social work student placements in Malaysia. Processes of student learning in unfamiliar cultural contexts were examined in relation to three cohorts of students. Here typologies of experience influencing learning, elicited from student-recorded data, are discussed. Analysis suggests that students undergo a process of liminality, adjustment or resistance to the contexts of community, culture and placements encountered in international settings. Emergent themes are identified as naive acceptance, critical revelation, critical observation, epiphany, critical reactionary, professional rejection and antagonistic response. Implications for international placements are discussed based on the data.
