Social Work/ Maatskaplike Werk, 49 (2): 168 - 1820037-8054http://hdl.handle.net/10566/975Introduction: Teaching (in any discipline) is rewarding when students show the required growth and development in terms of their knowledge, skills and attitude (within the social work context) (Kadushin & Harkness, 2002).
