| description | This paper discusses findings from a three-year British Council funded project into social
work student placements in Malaysia. Processes of student learning in unfamiliar cultural
contexts were examined in relation to three cohorts of students. Here typologies of experience
influencing learning, elicited from student-recorded data, are discussed. Analysis suggests
that students undergo a process of liminality, adjustment or resistance to the contexts of
community, culture and placements encountered in international settings. Emergent themes
were identified as naïve acceptance, critical revelation, critical observation, epiphany, critical
reactionary, professional rejection and antagonistic response. Implications for international
placements are examined based on the data. |
