Data collected from the students in focus groups demonstrated their capacity for ethical caring by recognizing individual characteristics of immigrant families, becoming more self-aware in interactions with them, and noticing institutional practices from the families’ perspectives. The students also began to realize the uncertainties of professional practice, which could help promote the habit of reflection. Findings suggest that the experiment was worthwhile, albeit limited by self-reported data, a small sample, and a short duration.  \nDans cette étude, nous examinons ce que les étudiants inscrits dans trois programmes professionnels – soins infirmiers, travail social et études de la petite enfance – pourraient apprendre sur le travail avec des famillesd’immigrants par le biais de l’enquête narrative en tant qu’instrument heuristique. Les données recueillies auprès des étudiants réunis en groupes de discussion ont indiqué que ceux-ci avaient prouvé leur aptitude à l’empathie éthique en reconnaissant les caractéristiques individuelles des familles d’immigrants, en devenant davantage conscients de leurs interactions avec ces familles et en prenant conscience des pratiques institutionnelles à partir du point de vue de ces familles. Les étudiants ont également commencé à comprendre les incertitudes de la pratique professionnelle, ce qui pourrait favoriser de meilleures habitudes de réflexion. Les résultats suggèrent que l’expérience était appréciable, bien qu’elle ait été limitée par des données auto-déclarées, un échantillon limité et une courte durée.  \nKeywords  \nworking with immigrant families, professional programs, pre-service training  \nCover Page Footnote  \nWe would like to thank the Office of Learning and Teaching and Faculty of Community Services, Ryerson University, for the research grant that made this work possible.  \nThis research paper/rapport de recherche is available in The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:  \n[http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol8/iss3/4](http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol8/iss3/4)  \nAli et al.: Learning to Work with Immigrant Families  \nAccording to the National Household Survey of 2011, nearly half of the population of Toronto Census Metropolitan Area was born outside Canada and one third of this population had arrived after 2001 (Statistics Canada, 2016) . Most immigrant families who have made Toronto home are likely to need the services of Early Childhood Educators, Nurses, or Social Workers as they settle in their new city. Students in Toronto’s colleges and universities preparing to work in these professions are therefore very likely to work with a racially and ethnically diverse immigrant population.  \nColle","cbCainaRIh97QdyV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainaRIh97QdyV","pdf",413541,17,"English","# Abstract\n## Research focus and programs\n## Data sources and findings\n## Limitations and implications","[{\"question\":\"Which three professional programs are included in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study involves Nursing, Social Work, and Early Childhood Studies students.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study help students learn about working with immigrant families?\",\"answer\":\"It uses narrative inquiry as a heuristic device to explore what students can learn through experiential, reflective engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"What limitations affect the experiment’s conclusions?\",\"answer\":\"Findings are limited by self-reported data, a small sample, and a short duration.\"}]","Learning to Work with Immigrant Families: An Experiment in Experiential Learning - Article 4 | PDF",1792081698,43]
