Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines how the experiences and realities of young people affected by war challenge the “typical” portrayal of family in social work education. Using aspects of duoethnography as a method of inquiry, the authors discuss war-affected social work students’ experience of elements of their curriculum and training. The discomforts shared point to important tensions and discords with prevailing traditional social work teaching concepts and approaches. War-affected young people feel that their realities often do not correspond to Western theories of human and child development and resettlement expectations. In making social work education more relevant and useful, there is a need to rethink the portrayal of family as well as teaching strategies. As part of this process, an increased sensitivity among social work educators is paramount, not only to the cultural, religious, geopolitically and ethnically diverse realities of children and families, but also to engaging young people directly in the learning process.

重新思考“家庭”对受战争影响的年轻人的意义:对社会工作教育的启示
摘要本文探讨了受战争影响的年轻人的经历和现实如何挑战社会工作教育中“典型”的家庭形象。作者采用双民族志的研究方法,讨论了受战争影响的社会工作学生对其课程和培训要素的体验。共同的不适指向了重要的紧张关系,并与流行的传统社会工作教学理念和方法不一致。受战争影响的年轻人认为,他们的现实往往与西方关于人类和儿童发展以及重新安置期望的理论不符。为了使社会工作教育更加相关和有用,有必要重新思考对家庭的描述以及教学策略。作为这一过程的一部分,提高社会工作教育工作者的敏感性至关重要,不仅要关注儿童和家庭的文化、宗教、地缘政治和种族多样性现实,还要让年轻人直接参与学习过程。
