“…Infusion of contemporary issues in schools is bound to have positive consequences for individual students and for the larger society. Knopf (1996), Gourdine and Sanders (2003) consider an infused model of teaching as the spreading of contemporary issues across courses within a curriculum and also using facts from many angles to clarify or examine the topics.…”

The purpose of this paper is to gain deeper insights into the way Social Studies programs are structured and taught in two national universities; one from Botswana and the other one from Nigeria; including, the extent of the infusion and presentation of contemporary issues in their Social Studies programs, program similarities, and the challenges faced by lecturers in the teaching of topics related to contemporary issues at the undergraduate level. Using a case study approach, this paper examines how contemporary issues, such as HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, child abuse, social policy, violence, reproductive health, climate change, to mention a few, are infused in the Social Studies programs of the two institutions under study, one each from Nigeria and Botswana. Methods of data collection were both qualitative and quantitative and they included case study of the Social Studies programs at the two universities. It was found that the Social Studies programs were structured along the use of integrated methodology with the infusion of contemporary issues across their courses with a high degree of similar content areas and challenges. The recommendations focused on the availability of teaching materials, enlarged classroom space, regular workshops, the use of external examiners, regular program reviews, among others.

“…There are three suggested development models for integrating specific content into course or program curriculuminfused, dedicated, or a combination of both (Bean & Krcek, 2012;Gourdine & Sanders, 2003). The benefit of an infused model is that the introduction of a new topic is presented throughout the program curricula, exposing a larger number of students to new information (Bean & Krcek, 2012;Knopf, 1996). The dedicated model typically is reserved for select courses (Bean & Krcek, 2012;Mama, 2001) with advantages of this model resting on the instructor's expertise and a relationship developed with students over time.…”

Objective: This study sought to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a tool designed to assess social work students' knowledge of and perceptions and attitudes toward human trafficking. To achieve this aim, the Perceptions, Knowledge, and Attitudes toward Human Trafficking Questionnaire (PKA-HTQ) was developed and its psychometric properties were evaluated. Specifically, the factor structure and the internal consistency of the PKA-HTQ were evaluated. Methods: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a replication EFA were conducted on two independent samples of university students, an initial validation (n ¼ 325), and cross-validation (n ¼ 212) sample. Findings: The EFA revealed a three-factor structure, that is, self-appraisal of knowledge/skills (a ¼ .89), worldview (a ¼.78), and help-seeking behavior (a ¼.66); this three-factor structure was supported by replication EFA. Conclusion: The PKA-HTQ questionnaire shows promise as a meaningful, potentially reliable and valid measure.

“…The dedicated model of education includes a purposeful course designated to teach a topic, such as disability. An infused model spreads disability content across the courses within a curriculum (Knopf, 1996). Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of infused and dedicated education on disability content in preparing social work students to work with people with disabilities (Abrams & Gibson, 2007;Begab, 1970;Cummings, Cassie, Galambos, & Williams, 2006;Dyeson, 2004;Lee & Waites, 2006;Mama, 2001;Nagda, et.…”

Disability content has been slowly integrated into social work curricula despite the large proportion of social workers supporting people with disabilities and its requirement in social work education by the Council on Social Work Education Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards. Schools of social work offer disability content to their students in three ways: infused, dedicated (specialization), or a combination of both. A content analysis of 1620 course titles and descriptions from the top schools of social work was conducted to assess the integration of disability content into social work curricula. Eighty percent of the schools included disability content in their curriculum. Disability content was more likely to be integrated using the infused rather than the dedicated model.
