Abstract

This article provides a historically grounded theoretical framework for professional values education. The approach incorporates personal, social, political, and professional values dimensions, each with explicit learning objectives and educational outcomes. It is premised on the assumption that the currently prevalent infusion model of values education is necessary but not sufficient because it describes and clarifies values, but does not help students integrate professional social work values as they critically reassess prior experiences and values learning. Teaching principles based on the theoretical framework and implications for social work education, along with practical teaching suggestions, are presented.
