In recent years there has been an increasing
focus on ethics in society. In the social professions, where people are
confronted with the responsibility for others and their needs, ethical
questions will often appear as ethical dilemmas - complicated and not easily
dealt with.
In the European Social Ethics Project (ESEP), a
group of teachers and researchers from different institutions involved in
education and training for the social professions has worked to develop methods
for teaching ethics in ways that encourage the students to become ‘reflective
practitioners’. Members of the group have undertaken several small research
projects using individual questionnaires and video-recordings of group
discussions that have been designed to enable us to learn more about how
students learn, as well as developing teaching and learning materials. The work
of the ESEP forms the core of this book, which focuses on the question: How can
teachers encourage students to develop the qualities, skills and understanding
to work out how to act in difficult situations involving ethical dilemmas and
problems?
Written in a clear and accessible style, with
details of teaching methods and examples of materials for use in class, the
book will be of great value to lecturers, tutors and practitioners in the
fields of social work, social pedagogy, community work, youth work and a
variety of related fields in the caring and welfare professions. It is written
in English, but makes use of ideas and literature from a range of different
European countries – from Finland to Portugal.
