Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article is based on an international comparative social policy module held annually at MalmöUniversity (Sweden) with partner universities from several countries. Our study examines the results ofintra- and interpersonal dynamics among participants and lecturers, which we call "productive tension", inrelation to overarching questions about knowledge acquisition and the importance of reflexivity andreflectivity in the learning process. Students and faculty create a "community of practice" (CoP) (Lave &Wenger 1991) that benefits from a continuous interactive environment and direct engagement. Our studyuses a mixed method approach. The analysis considers qualitative data from interviews with theparticipating students and quantitative data from questionnaires. In this article, we focus on theproductive tension inherent in the reflective and reflexive processes. Reflective and reflexive processes areidentified that influence the students' experience of cross-border cooperation and their professionalidentity. Our study also demonstrates how the knowledge about "Social Work" as a profession can bebroadened through international comparative teaching and learning. The main conclusion of this work isthat reflective and reflexive learning processes in social work education enable participants to see andunderstand themselves from a broader perspective and strengthen their own professional identity.
