Study tour reflections: revisiting curricula through an international lens
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article compiles Canadian social work students’ reflections of an Austrian study tour and its influence on how they now view, interpret, and analyze the curricula from previously completed undergraduate social work courses. Overall, the study tour appears to have re-animated previous course material and brought new insight into curricula already covered in classes. Of particular interest is the recurring theme of one notable aspect of the tour, a site visit to the former Mauthausen Concentration Camp, which surfaces as an important factor in reflections on numerous courses. Other social service agency visits in the host city invited the students to consider alternate theories in social work practice, building on the ones covered in completed curricula. Further, the students considered ways in which social workers can consider these new study-tour-informed insights and perspectives in everyday social service delivery on macro, mezzo, and micro levels. In sum, international study tours appear to not only notably influence future social work practice but also invite new critical thinking regarding previous learnings.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
