About this book
The work is unique as it overcomes current barriers between the different sub-disciplines of social work didactics and management education, and takes into consideration the development of a discipline-specific Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The integrated and transdisciplinary approach to social work management education presented in this edited volume is of paramount importance to international scholars, teachers, practitioners, students and all other audiences interested in the field of education. The work provides an overview of the theoretical principles on how social work management can be taught and learned, and analyzes curricula, pedagogical approaches, actors, and socio-economic and institutional contexts of social work management at higher education institutions
