A constant concern for educators is how best to train the students. With the knowledge explosion and increasing complexity of the social problems, we have to look for ways to strengthen social work students' ability for continual development. Enhancing their lifelong learning competence would help them to face the future demands.

This paper reports on the findings and shares some reflection on the experience. [Copyright of Journal of Teaching in Social Work is the property of Routledge.
