“…Because these values play such an important role, social work educational programmes should assist students in clarifying their own personal values (Corey & Corey, 2006;Walmsley & Birkbeck, 2006;Galambos, 2009;Phan et al, 2009;Lee, 2011); in questioning and debating values and ethics (Allen-Meares, 2007;Ross, 2008); in developing values consistent with professional social work practice and social justice (Weaver & Congress, 2009;Osteen, 2011) and in analysing and evaluating in what way these values influence professional practice (Galambos, 2009;Toseland & Rivas, 2012;Zastrow, 2012). Social workers readily proclaim that they are bound by certain values, usually directly linked to their societal context (Wilson et al, 2008;Hochfeld, 2010;Sanders & Hoffman, 2010). This gives rise to the following important questions: Are there general values specifically linked to social work?…”

“…Inculcating social work values and facilitating a critical examination of the profession's values in micro, mezzo and macro intervention are the responsibilities of social work educators across the world (Sanders & Hoffman, 2010;Corey, 2012;Zastrow, 2012). While reflecting on and promoting the values of the profession is of critical importance, this is not easy to achieve in everyday social work practice.…”

A project with children and juveniles in a detention centre confronts social work students with their own perceptions and experiences of being direct or indirect victims of crime, with their own values and with integrating the values and principles of social work. Within an ecological perspective, past and present issues in the country's context influence perceptions and personal values. The project challenges these perceptions and value systems. Feedback include that students realise they should not judge the young people; that these youngsters have dignity and worth in spite of where they come from and the crime they committed; that they deserve respect and should be accepted for who they are. The article discusses professional values and principles in social work and provides a case study of dealing with undergraduate social work students' fears, emotions and prejudices in teaching and integrating social work values and principles.

“…Similar to Corey et al (2005), Pack-Brown, Thomas, and Seymour (2008) argued for an infusion of ethics training across a graduate program with an emphasis on social justice. Sanders and Hoffman (2010) also examined ethics training, comparing two approaches to teaching ethics: (a) infusion of ethics, and (b) two types of mandatory discrete ethics courses (one teaching a mixed-model approach, another teaching a common morality model). Sanders and Hoffman (2010) found that teaching a common morality model resulted in students with greater moral judgment and ethics sensitivity.…”

A normative analysis to determine the goals of ethics education through utilizing three approaches: rational moral education, ethical acculturation, and learning throughout life

Ethics education is an emerging concept at the intersection of ethics and education, and this article aims to define the goals of ethics education in order to specify the general structure of teaching ethics in healthcare. Additionally, providing the opportunity to map the next stages of ethics education, such as what to teach and how to teach, is another purpose of the suggested normative framework. Kohlberg's cognitive-developmental approach, Handelsman et al.'s ethical acculturation model, and the Delors Report's learning throughout life concept are utilized to determine the notion of teaching ethics and its objectives. Through the integration of these three approaches and the adaptation of the Delors Report's pillars, the goals of ethics education are described as: (1) increasing ethical knowledge; (2) improving ethical skills to strengthen ethical sensitivity, awareness, and judgement; (3) developing ethical behavior; and (4) promoting cultural competence. These goals indicate that ethics education is an ongoing process transcending to teach or learn certain ethical codes, norms, and principles. Exploring and recognizing individuals' abilities, personal values, and cultural backgrounds are also essential requirements of teaching ethics. Furthermore, this perspective demands administrating existing ethical challenges, differences, and conflicts in healthcare through augmenting cultural competence rather than imposing and/or assimilating policies.
