The impact of global learning on social work student values / by Janice L. Nuss.

This dissertation study will evaluate a framework for global learning in social work education. The resulting dissertation will add to the body of literature about human rights-based andragogy and will evaluate the impact of a global learning curriculum on social work student values. The framework will expand upon the existing experiential practices of field education and case methods in social work. The study’s hypothesis is that expanding the traditional notion of these approaches within a global human rights framework will increase global consciousness and social responsibility of social work students leading to a global human rights-based identity within the social work profession. Implications and conclusions will inform the implementation of the new global learning and human rights standards anticipated in the 2022 revision of the Council on Social Work Education Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards.
