Community-Engagement and Critical Thinking: Resistance and Dissonance Reduction

Sunday, October 27, 2024
9:45 AM – 10:15 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2207
Critical service-learning is an important avenue to teaching and learning concepts of social justice, privilege, and anti-oppressive social work practice, yet required reflections can also result in discomfort due to cognitive dissonance. Reflective judgement outcomes of undergraduate community-engagement, and dissonance inducing teaching techniques are presented and discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  1. 1. Apply the use of critical reflection in experiential service for social work education to facilitate the development of critical thought.
  2. 2. Integrate dissonance inducing techniques into educational practices.
  3. 3. Apply cognitive dissonance theory to challenge resistance to self-awareness and anti-oppressive social work.
