Description
Introduction The authors have been involved in the teaching of interpersonal and group work practice skills to distance education (DE) and on-campus students for over a decade. In recent years we have reviewed, in an ongoing, informal way, both the content of the core skills subject in which we teach, and the advantages and disadvantages of the different modes in which it is taught. We were committed to facilitating rich learning for all students and to the acquisition of relevant skills for social work and welfare practice, particularly in the North Queensland and the broader Australian context. Critical reflection (Fook 1999, Lewis, 1998) upon the content of our teaching enabled us to admit that it reflected a narrow, culturally-biased view of relevant skills for practice, somewhat at odds with the cultural and socio-political analysis evident elsewhere in our programs.
