Abstract

[Extract] Social Work Education: Developing Professional Identity and Readiness for Practice This themed Issue brings together quality articles concerned with the delivery model of social work education and the embedding of core curriculum. Contributions consider, for example, the value of e-portfolios in assessing students’ graduate attributes (Powell et al., 2024) and the use of simulation in field education (Harris & Newcombe, 2024). Several articles are specifically focused on innovation addressing the limited capacities and challenges of field education that were present long before, but were exacerbated during, the COVID-19 pandemic (Haralambous et al., 2024; Harris & Newcombe, 2024; Morley et al., 2024). A final set of contributions look to extend curriculum content, including forensic social work, ecological justice, human–animal relations, and cross-cultural learning opportunities (Battaglia et al., 2024; Daddow, 2024; Duvnjak & Dent, 2024; Lattas & Davis, 2024). In this issue, many authors argue for changes in social work education and consider how such change can be achieved.
