Abstrakt: | The article examines how learning can be affected when one's personal values are undermined, threatened or berated. A consideration of the process of transfer of learning is central to the discussion. The general issue to be explored is how students with a coherent set of beliefs and values derived from their membership of a 'faith community' cope with a social work course when the values they hold dear are publicly rejected by staff and peers. Social work students who hold traditional religious views often find that their beliefs are in conflict with secular social work curricula. For the purpose of this article the author has chosen to focus on Black Christian students as a specific example of a group whose membership of a faith community and personal value-base is challenged by the pressure to absorb certain professional values. The author suggests that these students experience traumatic learning because their learning is inhibited because of the ongoing conflict between personal and professional values. |
